6 Colo. Code Regs. § 1007-3-8.46
These amendments to 6 CCR 1007-3, Parts 260, 261, and 6 are made pursuant to the authority granted to the Hazardous Waste Commission in § 25-15-302(2), C.R.S.
Proposed Approval of Petition for Use of ASTM D 6450-99 for Flash Point Testing per 6 CCR 1007-3 Section 261.21(a)(1)
On February 23, 2001, Roche Colorado Corporation (RCC) submitted a petition requesting the addition of the Miniflash Continuously Closed Cup Tester (according to ASTM D 6450-99) as an approved method for flash point testing under 6 CCR 1007-3, Section 261.21(a)(1).
Section 261.21(a)(1) of the regulations references two specific test methods for determining the characteristic of ignitability: the Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Test (ASTM standard D-93-79 or D-93-80) and the Setaflash Closed Cup Tester (ASTM standard D-3278-78). The regulations also allow the use of an equivalent test method approved by the Department under the procedures set forth in § § 260.20 and 260.21 of the regulations. The Hazardous Waste Commission must officially approve any test method as equivalent before it can be used when the regulations require use of a specific test method.
Based on an evaluation of the information and comparative data submitted by Roche Colorado Corporation, the Commission has concluded that Roche's petition meets the regulatory requirements of 6 CCR 1007-3, Section 260.20 and Section 260.21 for petitioning to add an equivalent testing or analytical method, and that the proposed test method is equivalent to the existing methods in terms of its sensitivity, accuracy and precision. The Commission approves the petition to adopt the Miniflash Continuously Closed Cup Tester test method (ASTM Standard D 6450-99) as an approved method for flash point testing under 6 CCR 1007-3, Section 261.21(a)(1).
These amendments revise § 261.21(a)(l) of the regulations to include ASTM Standard D 6450-99 as an approved method for flash point testing. The test method is also incorporated by reference in § 260.11(a) of the regulations.
Amendment of § 6.04
Section 6.04 is being amended by revising paragraph (a) to reflect the annual Commission fees to be assessed for fiscal year 2001-2002.
