(2)* Any liquid that does not meet the criteria for fluidity given in the definition of liquid in Chapter 3 and in the provisions of Chapter 4
(3) Any cryogenic fluid or liquefied gas, as defined in Chapter 3
(4)* Any liquid that does not have a flash point, but which is capable of burning under certain conditions
(5)* Any aerosol product

(12) Liquids with a flash point greater than 95°F (35°C) in a water-miscible solution or water-miscible dispersion with a water and noncombustible solids content of more than 80 percent by weight, and which does not sustain combustion when tested in accordance with "Method of Testing for Sustained Combustibility," in accordance with 49 CFR 173, Appendix H, or the UN publication, Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods
Purpose.
The purpose of this code shall be to provide fundamental safeguards for the storage, handling, and use of ignitible (flammable or combustible) liquids.
