This report contains the data received from the participants in this test. Since these participants are located in many countries around the world, and it is
their option how the samples are to be used (e.g., training exercise, known or blind proficiency testing, research and development of new techniques,
etc.), the results compiled in the Summary Report are not intended to be an overview of the quality of work performed in the profession and cannot be
interpreted as such. The Summary Comments are included for the benefit of participants to assist with maintaining or enhancing the quality of their
results. These comments are not intended to reflect the general state of the art within the profession.
Participant results are reported using a randomly assigned "WebCode". This code maintains participant's anonymity, provides linking of the various report
sections, and will change with every report.

Manufacturer's Information
Each sample set consisted of three items: two Nylon bags that each contained a “wick” spiked with an ignitable
liquid, and one Nylon bag unused, and sealed containing a sample of the same type of cotton terry cloth which was
provided to participants as a negative, control sample. The Nylon bags used in this test were produced by the Grand
River Products company. Participants were requested to identify and indicate the class for any ignitable liquid(s)
detected in the submitted items.
SAMPLE PREPARATIONThe wick in the Item 1 bag contained Crown® Low Odor Mineral Spirits. The wick in the Item 2 bag contained
Gasoline. The gasoline (87 octane) was purchased at a local gas station and was stated to contain up to 10%
Ethanol. The Crown® Low Odor Mineral Spirits was purchased at a local home improvement store.
CONTROL (PREPARATION): For the control bag, a clean, cotton terry cloth swatch was dropped into a previously
opened pre-labeled 5" x 10" nylon bag with no flammable substances in the immediate production area. The bag
was immediately double heat-sealed across the top using a Midwest Pacific Impulse Heat Sealer, Model MP-12,
which produces a 1/8" wide band. This bag was then placed in a pre-labeled 6" x 12" nylon bag and double
heat-sealed across the top. After sealing, each bag was inspected to determine if it contained an adequate amount of
air space.
ITEMS 1 and 2 (PREPARATION): The two items were prepared and packaged separately. For Items 1 and 2, a clean,
cotton terry cloth swatch was held and 25 μl of the designated flammable substance was pipetted on top of the cloth
two times for a total of 50 μl. Once it was verified that the liquid did not pass through the swatch, it was dropped into
a previously opened pre-labeled 5" x 10" nylon bag. The bag was immediately double heat-sealed across the top
using a Midwest Pacific Impulse Heat Sealer, Model MP-12, which produces a 1/8" wide band. This bag was then
placed in a pre-labeled 6" x 12" nylon bag and double heat-sealed across the top. After sealing, each bag was
inspected to determine if it contained an adequate amount of air space. Each item was stored separately until the
complete sample sets were put together.
SAMPLE SET ASSEMBLY: Once verification was completed, all sample sets were prepared. Prior to packing items into
sample pack boxes, each item was again inspected to ensure it contained an adequate amount of air space. For
each sample set, an Item 1, 2 and control sample were placed into a pre-labeled sample pack box. The sample pack
box was sealed with reinforced packaging tape. This process was repeated until all of the sample sets were prepared.
VERIFICATIONLaboratories that conducted predistribution analysis of the items classified Item 1 as "Medium Petroleum Distillates".
Item 2 was classified as "Gasoline". All were classified using the ASTM classification scheme.*

Summary Comments
This test was designed to allow participants to assess their ability in extraction and identification of ignitable substances
on "wicks" packaged in Nylon bags. Participants were provided with three items: two Nylon bags that each contained a
terry cloth “wick” spiked with an ignitable substance, and, as a negative control sample, one unused sealed Nylon bag
containing an unspiked sample of the same type of cotton terry cloth. The wick in the Item 1 bag contained "Crown®
Low Odor Mineral Spirits", and the wick in the Item 2 bag contained "87 Octane Gasoline". [Refer to the
Manufacturer's Information for preparation details.]
Of the 305 participants who reported classification results for Item 1, 297 (97%) identified the ignitable substance as
belonging to the Petroleum Distillates classification. Of these, 289 identified the subclass as "Medium", "MPD", or
"Medium-Heavy". Seven participants reported various other classifications. The remaining participant reported detecting
no ignitable liquid(s) stating in their Conclusions (Table 4) that the plastic packaging for Item 1 was compromised
during the analytical preparation of the sample.
Of the 305 participants who reported classification results for Item 2, 295 (97%) identified the ignitable substance as
belonging to the Gasoline classification; these include fifteen participants who reported Gasoline and Petroleum
Distillates (11), Gasoline, Petroleum Distillates and Oxygenated Solvents (2), Gasoline and Oxygenated Solvents (1),
and Gasoline with ethanol (1). The variation in reporting may be due to laboratory policy and regional differences.
Eight participants reported flammable classifications other than Gasoline. Two of these responded
"Others-Miscellaneous". One wrote in the subclass text box "Gasoline Evap. + MPD" and the other commented in their
Conclusions that it may be a mixture of petroleum distillate fractions or weathered gasoline. One participant reported
Gasoline and Petroleum Distillates plus additional flammable classifications. The remaining participant reported
detecting no ignitable liquid(s); however, stated in their Conclusions that Item 2 contained gasoline.
For Item 2, some participants reported Gasoline only in Table 1, but noted identifying Petroleum Distillates (7), Ethanol
(2) or "n-alkane hydrocarbons" (1) in their Conclusions or Additional Comments (Table 5). Some participants
commented that they noticed regional differences with gasoline identified on Item 2 compared to gasoline they
examine from their own localities.

Conclusions
No ignitable liquids were detected in Item 1-1[sic] Control bag. A medium petroleum distillate was
identified in Item 2[sic] - suspected incendiary device from basement. Examples include paint thinner,
mineral spirits, some brands of charcoal starter fluids. A gasoline residue was identified on Item 3[sic] suspected incendiary from bathroom.
2HYHWN Item 1. Analysis revealed the presence of a medium petroleum product, examples include some odorless
paint thinners, mineral spirits, and charcoal lighter fluids. Item 2. Analysis revealed the presence of
gasoline. Item 3. No ignitable liquids were detected.
2NLHJC
Item 1 - A medium petroleum distillate was identified. Examples of which includes charcoal lighters and
paint thinners. Item 2 - Gasoline was identified. Control - No ignitable liquid was detected.
2PYBXQ
Item 1 contained a medium petroleum distillate. Examples of a medium petroleum distillate include
some charcoal starters, some paint thinners, and some dry cleaning solvents. Item 2 contain[sic]
gasoline. Examples of gasoline include all brands and grades of gasoline, including gasolines
containing ethanol. Control bag was examined as a control for Item 1 and Item 2.
2PZUU8
Examination of Item 1 revealed the presence of a Medium Petroleum Product (MPP). Examples of MPPs
include but are not limited to charcoal starters, paint thinners, specialty solvents, and their odorless
varieties. Examination of Item 2 revealed the presence of Gasoline.
2TZHG3
A Medium Petroleum Distillate was detected in item 1. An example of this classification is charcoal
lighter. Gasoline was detected in Item 2. It should be noted that n-alkane hydrocarbons with a similar
carbon range as those of item 1 were also detected in item 2 but with a higher intensity than those
normally present in local gasoline. It cannot therefore be concluded whether these arise from the
addition of a small quantity of item 1 (or other similar product) to item 2 or whether these hydrocarbons
arise from the gasoline (slightly different from our local brand). No flammable were detected in the
control bag.[sic]
2WLZZ9
Analysis of item 1 revealed the presence of a medium petroleum distillate examples of which include
some charcoal lighter fluids, mineral spirits and paint thinners. Analysis of item 2 revealed the presence
of a petroleum product characteristic of gasoline.
2YHU9A
GC/MS were used to analyze the Item 1, Item 2, and Control bag. Item 1 contains petroleum distillates.
There are significant normal alkane peak C8 to C13. Item 2 contains gasoline. Control bag was not
detected ignitable liquid.[sic]
2ZE7B6
No ignitable liquids were detected in the Control Bag. Item 1 contained a medium-range petroleum
distillate. Examples of medium-range petroleum distillates include but are not limited to: some charcoal
starters, some paint thinners, and some dry cleaning solvents. Item 2 contained gasoline.
329B64
Examination of item 1 revealed the presence of components consistent with a medium range petroleum
distillate product. Examples of products of this type include some paint thinners and some charcoal

6LNXYT
Ignitable liquid residues consistent with a dearomatised medium petroleum distillate product were
detected from Item 1. Petroleum distillates are fractions of crude oil separated by distillation, a process
where the crude oil is heated and fractions are separated based on their boiling point range. Boiling
point range can be represented by normal alkane carbon number. Medium petroleum distillates are
from the fraction containing compounds within the normal alkane range C8 - C13, with approximate
boiling point range of 120 - 240ºC. Dearomatised petroleum distillates are subjected to further
processing to remove aromatic components. Examples of medium petroleum distillates include some
varieties of charcoal starters, paint thinners, and dry cleaning solvents. Partially evaporated petrol was
detected from Item 2. Petrol is a flammable liquid that is refined from the crude oil component of
petroleum. It is made up of hundreds of compounds each with individual boiling points. The range of
these boiling points depends on the molecular weight of each compound; this allows the components to
be separated during analysis, resulting in a characteristic chromatogram. Lighter compounds, those with
lower molecular weights and boiling points, evaporate more rapidly than the heavier compounds at all
temperatures (from room temperature through to the extreme temperatures of fire). An unevaporated
petrol sample would therefore show a different chromatogram than a sample that was 90% evaporated
(that is, 90% of the weight of the petrol sample has been lost due to evaporation). A sample would be
said to contain partially evaporated petrol residues when the ratio of light to heavy components is less
than the ratio observed in an unevaporated petrol sample. No ignitable liquid residues were detected
from Control Bag (Item 3).

LTBTZ3
We found medium petroleum distillates (like odorless paint thinner) in item 1 and gasoline in item 2. In
this scenario, we know what the home is under construction, thus it might be necessary to know what it
was stocked in the basement to determine the paint thinner origin.[sic] However, the presence of
gasoline in the bathroom seems suspect. Indeed we can't explain the using of this flammable substance
in this room. In this case, an arson origine[sic] is possible.

XNJKKQ
A MPD was recovered from item 1 without any aromatics. Gasoline was detected on suspected
incendiary device from the bathroom (item 2). A C10 / C13 pattern was observed at an unexpected
level, when compared to gasoline usually recovered from fire debris submitted to the lab. This might
come from the gasoline itself. In this case, it should be compared with gasoline from local distributors.
Or it could be a mixture with the MPD found in item 1 at a minor concentration. No significant matrix
effect due to the control bag. Ignitable liquid from Item 1 different from Item 2.
XPA2FK
All exhibits were analyzed for the presence of ignitable liquids by gas chromatography - mass
spectrometry (GC-MS). Item 1 contained a medium petroleum distillate (MPD), which is an ignitable

Conclusions
YNDQEP
Gas chromatographic mass spectral (GC-MS) analysis of Item 1 and Item 2 revealed the presence in
high amounts of ignitable liquid residues in both items. Item 1 (basement) contained a medium
(C8-C12) de-aromatized petroleum distillate. Examples of such commercial products include some paint
thinners (and especially odorless mineral spirits), and charcoal starters. Item 2 (bathroom) contained a
mix of gasoline and light (C5-C12) petroleum distillate. Examples of such commercial products include
petroleum ether, some camping fuels, and some cigarette lighter fluids. No ignitable liquids were
detected in the control bag. The identification of ignitable liquid residues in a fire scene does not
necessarily lead to the conclusion that a fire was incendiary in nature. As the fire occurred in a home
under construction, further investigation might reveal a legitimate reason for the presence of the ignitable
liquid residues found on the cloths. If any, laboratory is able to analyze and compare them to Item 1 and
Item 2. Cloths could have been used as rags by workers. So, it would be useful to collect other samples
(e.g., floor…).
YRAJ4D

Additional Comments
In order for a more detailed conclusion, additional information is needed concerning the scenario (a
home under construction). Details about the products used in the construction could help the conclusion
(type of paints, type of paint solvents, electricity power generators, heating sources,…).
4DGGVW The data for #2 suggests the possible presence of a medium petroleum product in addition to the
gasoline, but there is too much overlap between the two to confidently say a medium is present.
4NY3X7
Item #1: De-Aromatized.
64Q662
Ignitable liquid residue in a fire scene does not necessarily lead to the conclusion that a fire was
incendiary in nature. In addition, negative results do not preclude the possibility that ignitable liquids were
present at the fire scene.
6JJ78F
Item 1 analysis indicates a low abundance of aromatics suggesting a De-Aromatized Medium Range
Petroleum Distillate product. Item 2 analysis suggests Gasoline and the additional alkane pattern and
other extracted ion profiles in the range of C8 thru C13 which would suggest a Medium Range Petroleum
Distillate is also present. Laboratory procedures require comparison with a known reference ignitable
liquid. This requirement would not allow us to report Gasoline and a Medium Range Petroleum Distillate
being present in the sample. Thus resulting in the wording "possible presence" and "Please submit any
suspected ignitable liquid that may aid in the evaluation of item 2." "Inconclusive" would be the best
conclusion using our laboratory procedures however that is not a listed conclusion in section 1 of this
report form.
6XDKK9
Ignitable liquids were identified in sample #'s: Item 1 and Item 2. The medium petroleum distillate found
in sample # Item 1 could be mineral spirits, paint thinners, some charcoal starters, or some dry cleaning
solvents.
7CVQF9
Ethanol is item 2 gasoline mixture.[sic] No ignitable liquid residue was detected in the control bag.
8A4ZX2
GC-MS data showed that Item 1 was a de-aromatized medium petroleum distillate (De-Aromatized MPD).
967Y9R
Confirmation of items 1 and 2 was made using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS).
A9XL4Y
At the item Nr. 2 was not possible to definy what kind of product was C10-C14, Normal alkanes or
Isoparafinnic products.[sic]
AMFDT7
Control sample we classified it (pass or failed) according to (method blank of oven (M.B)) which the
samples pre treatment, so the result of above control is pass.[sic]
AMLWZN
This laboratory does not employ the ASTM E 1618-06 ignitable liquid classification scheme.
ARXGRN
The submitted items are not packaged in a manner consistent with this laboratory's preferred packaging
practices. Repackaging was required prior to analysis.
AVWVED
Item 1, may correspond to some candle oils, copier toners.
AXMWK2
Item 2 had a higher ratio of alkanes than I would normally expect to see in gasoline, however they weren't
high enough for me to believe that it's a miscellaneous mixture.
BZ62MB
Some formulations of gasoline may contain an extended, n-alkane series, so gasoline residue alone
cannot be excluded. Based on gasoline profiles from this region, the overall profile appears to be
consistent with a combination of gasoline residue and indications of a medium petroleum distillate
residue.
C7RJRT
Items 1, 2 and "control bag" were received in nylon bags. Nylon bags are not recommended for the
submission of flammable/fire debris related items by current laboratory submission guidelines.
CCE2UN
No ignitable liquid residues were detected in the comparison sample submitted.
CEFLJ3
The bag for item 1 contacted the heating element & melted a small hole - leading to potential loss of the
volatile contents.

CH6B6L
Item 1: The extracted ion profiles showed the absence of aromatic compounds. This is indicative of a
dearomatized petroleum distillate.
CL8HXT
A copy of the Ignitable Liquid Classification Table is attached to all reports for fire debris analysis.
CNTYYR
This laboratory does not distinguish between aromatized & de-aromatized medium-heavy distillates.
CT3KY6
As mentioned every year, the control is not a control in the scientific sense of the word. It is a comparison
sample which includes the fabric and the collection medium.
D33LMA
We do not use the ASTM E1618-06 ignitable liquid classification scheme in our casework.
D7LPLR
Our laboratory does not accept evidence in bags.
DBFMUV
Two different flammable liquids were found in the arson residues: in the basement medium petroleum
product, in the bathroom gasoline. The identification of a medium petroleum product (for example paint
thinner) in the basement does not necessarily leads[sic] to the conclusion that the fire was caused by
arson, considering that the house was under construction. The identification of gasoline in the bathroom
may be come from incendiary devices (for example "Molotov devices").[sic]
DGJJRA
We have an information sheet similar to Table 1 "Ignitable Liquid Classification Scheme" in ASTM
E1618-06, which we send along with the report.
DNL8KF
No volatile compounds were detected after the analysis of the control bag with terrycloth substrate.
EDFARR
This analysis only determines the presence of ignitable liquids in fire debris samples, and does not
presume to specify the intended use of said liquid. The identification of an ignitable liquid at a fire scene
does not necessarily lead to the conclusion that a fire was incindiary[sic] in nature.
EHWJAP
Item 1 - This exhibit is a de-aromatized distillate. Some examples of these are charcoal starters, paint
thinners and cleaning solvents. Item 2 - Possible blend with a light petroleum product.
ENMJJW
Item 2 - The alkane range observed includes light to medium (C5-C13) range alkanes. Most of the
alkanes present are consistent with weathered gasoline; however, the light components are not present at
this concentration in typical weathered gasoline. This could be a blended specialty gasoline, but equally
could be a mixture of two separate products.
ERVF27
Item 1, which was a medium petroleum distillate had no discernible aromatic constituents. As such, it
seems that this was a de-aromatised medium petroleum distillate.
F8WB9Y
Caprolactam - was detected in Item #1, Item #2 and the control sample
GFG7HY
A weak alkane pattern was detected in the "medium" range of Item #2. However the pattern was low and
not readily visible in the TIC. Also the pattern was only slightly higher than normal alkanes in gasoline.
GH86WW The medium petroleum distillate identified on Q1 had very low aromatic content.
GTJPP4
Item 1 has a low amount of aromatics.
GYC3B8
This laboratory has not verified the efficacy of the submitted nylon bags for flammable liquid analysis.
HHJ232
Item #1 appeared to be dearomatized.
J3H3ZN
The medium petroleum distillate in Item 1 can be further characterized as de-aromatized.
J7TPAN
why did the directions state to use ASTM E1618-06 which is a revision that has been superceded by
E1618-10? It would seem prudent to use the current version of a standard and not something that is four
years old and has been updated.
JA2E4G
Analysis of control item did not reveal any ignitable liquid residues. Analysis of Item 2 also revealed a
series of normal alkanes, however the abundance and pattern was not sufficient to identify it as a heavy
petroleum distillate.
JJE7VZ
This laboratory reports light, medium and heavy range ignitable liquids and gasoline. We do not report
the ASTM classification.

Additional Comments
K3C8UN
Item "Control Bag" is detected no ignitable liquid.[sic]
KD6TKZ
It should be noted that the gasoline profile in Item #001-2 showed an elevated and extended alkane
range which is not commonly seen in west coast gasoline. Because of the abundant alkane profile one
could classify Item #001-2 profile as a mixture of gasoline and a medium range petroleum distillate.
However, since it had been reported that gasoline from the east coast may exhibit an elevated and
extended alkane range the mixture of gasoline and a medium range petroleum distillate can not be
confirmed without a gasoline standard from the east coast.
KTRRAU
Gasoline normaly[sic] contains the components of a medium petroleum distillate but Lab Item 2
contained a greater contribution of medium petroleum distillate than what we normally see. We choose
to report and[sic] both but do not preclude the possibility that Lab Item 2 contained only gasoline which
was unique in its composition.
L8DDKF
Confirmation of item 1 and 2 was made using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS).
LPDVJ4
Item 1A listed above is agency item 1. Item 1B is agency item 2. Item 1C is the agency's control bag

A small amount of clear liquid was observed adhering to the interior of the bags for both Item #1 and
Item #2.

MJLFJH
No ignitable liquids were detected in the control bag.
MKTYZQ
The specimen Q1 (Item 1) medium petroleum distillate was consistent with a de-aromatized product.
NJWAM2
Item 1A listed above is agency item 1. Item 1B listed above is agency item 2. Item 1C listed above is
agency's control bag with terrycloth substrate.
NTZ2WB
The control bag was assigned Item number 3.
PPB3RR
The control bag was free from ignitable materials.
PW6CL6
The normal gasoline in our country does not have this amount of n-alkanes that we se in Item 2. But
since the distribution of n-alkanes seams to belong to the same distillation intervall. There for we
conclude that the n-alkanes belong to the gasoline. [sic]
QHGPTH
item #1 = dearomatized
QTWGF8 When compared to a reference standard of E10, item 2, contained a similar ethanol to benzene ratio.
However, we also know that other factors such as incendiary device container contamination or pyrolysis
of some products can also be a source of ethanol. The presence of methyl isobutyl ketone is an indicator
for the presence of denatured spirit which is known to not be used as a source of ethanol for gasohol.
No methyl isobutyl ketone was detected in item 2. Also notable was the presence of trace levels of
ethanol in the control terrycloth. Item 2 contained significantly higher levels of ethanol than those
detected in the control terrycloth. No gasoline product components or methyl isobutyl ketone were
detected in the control terrycloth.
UUD8T8
Item 1 is de-aromatized.
UWHFLJ
Because of the abundance of n-alkanes in the medium range of Lab Item 2, MPD was reported w/
gasoline. The territory that my lab covers does not see abundance of n-alkanes in the gasoline refined
and or delivered to this area.
V73UDM
The MPD in #1 was clearly dearomatized. As there is no longer a separate designation for this in ASTM
E 1618, the report would simply state MPD. However, the investigator would be contacted and informed
of this anomaly and asked to collect various commercial ignitable liquids at the site as well as any which
suspect(s) had in their possession for comparison purposes. Sample #2 also had higher levels of early
branched alkanes and a cyclohexane than expected. However, as their abundance was not sufficiently
distinctive and different than various gasoline standards, and could be attributed to either lack of

deterioration or variation in the refinery processes and feedstocks, the only determination was "gasoline".
Our laboratory processes over 4000 fire debris samples per year. 98% are shipped by air via Federal
Express. 99.9% are shipped in cans which do not "pop open". Cans are the preferred preservation
media. Bags are not.
VJUXYF
In the item labeled as control bag, it was detected the chromatograph peak of Nylon (sample container
material). The Medium Petroleum Distillate detected on the sample labeled as item 1, has a carbon
number range between C8 - C16.
VJYAM4
Item 1: The observed hydrocarbon profile could not be matched to that of a known commercial product.
VZHXLJ
Plastic bag containers are discouraged for use with Fire Debris evidence with our agency. When
encountered, we find it helps with the analysis if we freeze the bags & contents overnight.
WMTQD3 Examples of medium range petroleum distillates include some charcoal starters, some paint thinners,
some dry cleanining[sic] solvents, some torch fuels, some lamp oils, some mineral spirits, some polishes,
and some insecticide vehicles. An ignitable liquid residue was not detected in the control bag.
WQRDYY [From Table 2 - Flammables Recovery Techniques: Participant wrote"#2 only" beside Headspace, Room
Temperature.]
Y88K8Z
The alkanes in Item 2 (Gasoline) appeared higher than I normally see.
YNDQEP
We have used the ASTM E 1618-10. Item 2: ASTM E 1618-10 states that - a light product range is
C4-C9 with no major peaks exist above C11. The peak at C12 is minor, therefore "light" is the better
subclass, distillates are identificated[sic] by predominant normal alkanes with isoparaffinic compounds
present but light distillates may not exhibit a recognizable pattern. We have no knowledge (no reference
available) of a product like our reported "light petroleum distillate" (alkanes and isoparaffinic compounds
present at approximately the same relative concentration).
YYTKR4
No ignitable liquid residue was present on the control. Item 2 contained a series of normal alkanes.
However, the abundance and pattern were not sufficient to classify a heavy petroleum distillate being
present.
ZP72Q4
The low aromatic content in residues recovered from Item 1 is consistent with a de-aromatized product.
Traces of ethanol were identified on Item 2 consistent with a gasoline containing low level ethanol.
ZQ3CTY
The medium petroleum distillate in Exhibit FLb Item 1 appears to be a dearomatized product.
ZTJ8F4
Item #1 has little to no aromatic components. Item #2 also contains ethanol.
