Oxidizers nfpa classification

Liquid and solid oxidizers are designated as Class 1, 2, 3, or 4 by NFPA 430, Code for the Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers. Class 1 oxidizers are considered the least hazardous and Class 4 the most hazardous. The behavior of commercially available strengths of liquid and solid oxidizers under storage conditions is the basis for this classification system. This behavior includes fire hazard and reactivity. The acute and chronic health hazards as well as the environmental hazards of liquid and solid oxidizers are not addressed. [Pg.17]

The NFPA 430 classification system, the fire hazard behavior of liquid and solid oxidizers that can increase the burning rate or cause spontaneous ignition of a combustible material. Also, the reactivity behavior of liquid and solid oxidizers includes those that can undergo a self-sustained decomposition or an explosive reaction. The definitions used to define liquid and solid oxidizer classes can be subject to interpretation. The NFPA 430 classification system is based on the Technical Committee s evaluation of available scientific and technical data, actual experience, and it s considered opinion. A listing of typical liquid and solid oxidizers by class can be found in the Appendix of NFPA 430. The oxidizers listed are assumed to be pure materials unless otherwise specified. [Pg.17]
