  <paragraph num="A.">
    <text>A solid waste exhibits the characteristic of ignitability if a representative sample of the waste has any of the following properties:</text>
    <paragraph num="(1)">
      <text>Except as provided in §A-1 of this regulation, it is a liquid that has a flash point less than 60°C (140°F), as determined by using one of the methods specified in 40 CFR §261.21(a)(1);</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(2)">
      <text>It is not a liquid and is capable, under standard temperature and pressure, of causing fire through friction, absorption of moisture, or spontaneous chemical changes and, when ignited, burns so vigorously and persistently that it creates a hazard;</text>
