Determination of flash point - Modified continuously closed cup flash point (MCCCFP) method (ISO 24966:2026)
Scope: This document describes a test method for the determination of the flash point of chemicals, lube oils, fuels including aviation turbine fuel, diesel fuel, diesel/biodiesel blends and related products. The precision of this method has been determined over the range of 24,5 °C to 229,5 °C.
NOTE Apparatus can determine the flash point at higher or lower temperatures than the precision range, however the precision has not been determined.

Method to calculate GHG emissions at LNG plant (ISO 6338:2023)
Scope: This document provides a method to calculate the GHG emissions from an LNG liquefaction plant, onshore or offshore.
The frame of this document ranges from the inlet flange of the LNG plant’s inlet facilities up to and including the offloading arms to truck, ship or railcar loading. The upstream supply of gas up to the inlet flange of the inlet facilities and the distribution of LNG downstream of the loading arms are only covered in general terms.
This document covers:
— all facilities associated with producing LNG, including reception facilities, condensate unit (where applicable), pre-treatment units (including but not limited to acid gas removal, dehydration, mercury removal, heavies removal), LPG extraction and fractionation (where applicable), liquefaction, LNG storage and loading, Boil-Off-Gas handling, flare and disposal systems, imported electricity or on-site power generation and other plant utilities and infrastructure (e.g. marine and transportation facilities).
— natural gas liquefaction facilities associated with producing other products (e.g. domestic gas, condensate, LPG, sulphur, power export) to the extent required to allocate GHG emissions to the different products.
— all GHG emissions associated with producing LNG. These emissions spread across scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 of the responsible organization. Scope 1, 2 and 3 are defined in this document. All emissions sources are covered including flaring, combustion, cold vents, process vents, fugitive leaks and emissions associated with imported energy.
The LNG plant is considered “under operation”, including emissions associated with initial start-up, maintenance, turnaround and restarts after maintenance or upset. The construction, commissioning, extension and decommissioning phases are excluded from this document but can be assessed separately.
The emissions resulting from boil-off gas management during loading of the ship or any export vehicle are covered by this document. The emissions from a ship at berth, e.g. mast venting are not covered by this document.
This document describes the allocation of GHG emissions to LNG and other hydrocarbon products where other products are produced (e.g. LPG, domestic gas, condensates, sulphur, etc.).
This document defines preferred units of measurement and necessary conversions.
This document also recommends instrumentation and estimations methods to monitor and report GHG emissions. Some emissions are measured and some are estimated.
This document is applicable to the LNG industry.
Applications include the provision of method to calculate GHG emissions through a standardized and auditable method, a means to determine their carbon footprint.

This document covers the upstream facilities “under operation”, including emissions associated with commissioning, initial start-up and restarts after maintenance or upset. This document does not cover the exploration, construction and decommissioning phases or the losses from vegetation coverage.
This document covers all GHG emissions associated with production, process and transport of natural gas to the LNG liquefaction plant.
