with air become flammable and the boiling point of which at normal 15 t
pressure is 20°C or below :
2. Highly flammable liquids :
Substances which have a flash point lower than 23°C and the
boiling-point of which at normal pressure is above 20°C. lOOOt
3. Flammable liquids :
Substances which have a flash point lower than 65°C and which
remain liquid under pressure, where particular processing
conditions, such as high pressure and high temperature, may create
major accident hazards.
 The quantities set out abo\re relate to each installat~onor group of installations
belonging to the same occupier \\,liere the distance bet\\leen the installation is not
sufficient to a\,oid, in foreseeable circurnitances, any aggra\.ation of major accident
hazards. Thcse quantities apply in any case to each group of installations belonging
to the same occupier \\,here the distance betiyeen the i~istallationsis Ichs than 500
