that changed recently?

Dunno if it changed... but DAGS on inflammable OSHA, and the first hit you
get is http://www.ilpi.com/msds/ref/flammable.html

"The U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) defines a
flammable liquid as "any liquid having a flash point below 100 deg. F. (37.8
deg. C.), except any mixture having components with flash points of 100 deg.
F. (37.8 deg. C.) or higher, the total of which make up 99 percent or more of
the total volume of the mixture. Flammable liquids shall be known as Class I
liquids."

Compare this definition to combustible, which indicates a liquid that is
somewhat harder to ignite (flash point above 100 oF)."
