They have made due contributions to national strategy, energy security, and economic development, fully reflecting the spirit of maritime management agencies' responsibility and initiative. The next step in hazard prevention work is to study and understand carefullythe Party Central CommitteeThe important discourse and directive spirit on safety production, taking on responsibilities and fulfilling duties, resolutely shouldering the political responsibility of ensuring safety and protecting the environment. Secondly, we need to continuously improve the long-term mechanism of "six questions and six controls" and implement detailed measures for the supervision of dangerous goods transportation safety. The third is to persistently strengthen the professional capacity building of hazard prevention work.

Director Yuan Zongxiang emphasized that the overall situation must conscientiously implement the Ministry of Transport's "Special Plan for Welcoming and Serving the Party to Prevent and Resolve Major Risks and Strengthen Transportation Safety Work" and our bureau's relevant work plans, effectively improve our position, highlight key points, and vigorously implement them to ensure that all work arrangements are implemented and effective, firmly adhere to the red line and bottom line of maritime traffic safety, and make every effort to serve the relevant party meetingsSuccessfully convene to create a safe and stable environment.

At the meeting, the Hazardous Management and Pollution Prevention Department of Shandong Maritime Safety Administration reported on the situation of hazardous prevention work in Shandong's jurisdiction. The Yantai Oil Spill Emergency Center reported the assessment report of the "4.27" ship pollution accident in Qingdao. The maritime bureaus of Zhifu in Yantai, Huangdao in Qingdao, Donggang in Rizhao, Xingang in Weihai, Shouguang in Weifang, Wudi in Binzhou, etc. made exchange speeches based on the characteristics of their respective jurisdictions. Each branch will report on the progress of hazard prevention work in the past two years, analyze and identify existing problems, and provide opinions and suggestions.

The attendees focused on discussing the revision of the "Long term Mechanism for Safety Supervision of Ship Carrying Dangerous Goods (2022)" by Shandong Maritime Safety Administration, affirmed the effectiveness of the operation of the long-term mechanism, and put forward suggestions for improvement.

The attendees observed the implementation of the hazardous prevention management work of the Lanshan Maritime Safety Administration in Rizhao on site, listened to reports on the implementation of the "six questions and six controls" long-term mechanism, the construction of the "361" safety supervision mode for dangerous goods on board ships, and the construction of a professional hazardous prevention team.

Dangerous goods (also known as dangerous goods or hazardous materials) refer to substances or items that have hazardous characteristics such as explosion, flammability, toxicity, infection, corrosion, and radioactivity, and are prone to cause personal injury, property damage, or environmental pollution during transportation, storage, production, operation, use, and disposal, requiring special protection

Dangerous goods are classified into 9 categories based on their level of danger or primary danger. The third category is specifically for flammable liquids. The standard specifies that flammable liquids refer to flammable liquids or liquid mixtures, or liquids with solids in solution or suspension, with a closed cup test flash point not exceeding 60 ℃. Flammable liquids also include liquids that meet one of the following conditions:

a) Liquid submitted for transportation at a temperature equal to or higher than its flash point b) A substance that is transported or submitted for transportation in liquid form at high temperatures and releases flammable vapors at a temperature equal to or lower than the high transportation temperature.

According to GB 30000.7-2013 Classification and Labelling of Chemicals Part 7: Flammable Liquids, flammable liquids are classified into the following five categories based on their closed cup flash point and initial boiling point data. The testing method for the closed cup flash point of flammable liquids can be ASTM D6450/D7094.

According to GB 30000.7-2013 Classification and Labelling of Chemicals Part 7: Flammable Liquids, flammable liquids are classified into five categories based on closed cup flash point data. The testing method for the closed cup flash point of flammable liquids can be ASTM D6450/D7094.

In fact, the ASTM D6450/D7094 closed cup flash point test standard was initially developed and written by Grabner, an Austrian instrument company, and submitted to the ASTM Standards Committee for approval. It has also been compiled into China's petrochemical standard SH/T 0768, entry and exit industry standards SN/T 3077.1, SN/T 3077.2, and power industry standard DL/T 1354.

The ASTM D6450/D7094 standard fully considers the danger of flash point testing for hazardous chemicals and has revolutionized the invention of the continuous closed cup flash point testing method and instrument MINIFLASH series flash point tester. Become a high safety flash point testing instrument.
