Policy Adopted by NFPA Board of Directors on December 3,1982
The Board of Directors reaffirms that the National Fire Protection Association recognizes that the toxicity of the products of combustion is an important factor in the loss of life from fire. NFPA has dealt with that sub- ject in its technical committee documents for many years.
There is a concern that the growing use of synthetic materials may produce more or additional toxic prod- ucts of combustion in a fire environment. The Board has, therefore, asked all NFPA technical committees to review the documents for which they are responsible to be sure that the documents respond to this current con- cem. To assist the committees in meeting this request, the Board has appointed an advisory committee to provide specific guidance to the technical committees on questions relating to assessing the hazards of the products of combustion.

Guide to
Fire Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids, Gases, and Volatile Solids
1994 Edition
This edition of NFPA 325, Guide to Fare Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids, Gases, and Volatile Solids, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Classification and Prop- erties of Hazardous Chemical Data and acted on by the National Fire Protection Associ- ation, Inc. at its Annual Meeting held May 16-18, 1994, in San Francisco, CA. It was issued by the Standards Council on July 14, 1994, with an effective date of August 5, 1994, and supersedes ali previous editions.
The 1994 edition of this document has been approved by the American National Standards Institute.
Changes other than editorial are indicated by a vertical rule in the margin of the pages on which they appear. These lines are included as an aid to the user in identifying changes from the previous edition.
Origin and Development of NFPA 325
The first edition of NFPA 325, 325111, was presented to the Association in 1930. Suc- cessively revised and enlarged editions were published in 1935, 194 1, 1945, 1947, 195 1, 1954, 1960, 1965, 1969, 1977, and 1984.
This 1994 edition is an amended version of the 1991 edition. The hazard identification ratings of NFPA 704, Standard System for the IdentiJîcation of the Fire Hazards of Materials, have been updated to be consistent with changes made to chemicals listed in NFPA 49, Hazardous Chemicals Data. These are indicated by a vertical rule in the left-hand margin.
This document is not a code, standard, or recommended practice, as these terms are defined by NFPA. It is only a compilation of basic fire protection properties of various materials, prefaced by an explanation of the properties covered. The data contained have been collected from numerous authoritative sources, including the US . Bureau of Mines, Factory Mutual Research Corporation, and Underwriters Laboratories Inc., as weil as from the manufacturers of the materials. The originating source of the data is on file at NFPA headquarters and may be obtained upon request.
The table presented here summarizes available data on the fire hazard properties of about 1,500 substances, listed alphabetically by their chemical name. In addition, about 500 synonyms are listed alphabetically and cross-referenced to their proper entries.
The valuCs for any given property are representative and deemed suitable for general use. Where differences exist in reference sources, the value selected for inclusion in this compilation is conservative. Slight differences are to be expected between data sources, due to differences in the purity of test samples, minor differences in test apparatus, and minor differences in technique and observation. In almost all cases, these minor varia- tions have little practical significance. Where there is difference of opinion as to the actual value of a property of a given material or where the validity of the data presented is questioned, further tests should then be conducted on representative samples of the specific material in question by a qualified testing laboratory.

Guide to Fire Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids,
Gases, and Volatile Solids 1994 Edition
Chapter 1 General
1-1 Scope. mable gases, and volatile flammable solids.
1-2 Purpose. The purpose of this guide is to provide the user with basic fire hazard information on the materials covered by the scope.
1-3 Definitions of Fire Hazard Properties.
1-3.1 No single fire hazard property, such as flash point or ignition temperature, should be used to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of a material, product, assembly, or system under actual fire conditions. The fire hazard properties given in this guide have been deter- mined under controlled laboratory conditions and may properly be used to measure or describe the response of materials, products, assemblies, or systems under these conditions. Properties measured under these conditions may be used as elements of a fire risk assessment only when such assessment takes into account all of the factors that are pertinent to the evaluation of the fire hazard of a given situation.
1-3.2 The pertinent literature seldom mentions the degree of purity of the material being tested; even boiling point or melting point data are frequently missing. These data, if available, would permit judging the purity of the material and, hence, the reliance to be placed on the val- ues reported, particularly with respect to flash point and flammable range. Finally, it must be remembered that there is little industrial use of high purity materials. As a consequence of these considerations, no values of purity are given in this compilation. The melting points and boil- ing points should be regarded as approximations.
1-3.3 Flash Point. The flash point of a liquid is the min- imum temperature at which the liquid gives off sufficient vapor to form an ignitible mixture with air near the surface of the liquid or within the test vessel used. By “ignitible mixture” it is meant a mixture that is within the flammable range (between the upper and lower limits) and, thus, is capable of propagation of flame away from the source of ignition. Some evaporation takes place below the flash point, but not in quantities sufficient to form an ignitible mixture. Flash point applies mostly to flammable and com- bustible liquids, although certain solids, such as camphor and naphthalene, that slowly volatilize at ordinary room temperature, or certain liquids, such as benzene, that freeze at relatively high temperatures, will exhibit a flash point in the solid state.
The flash points given in this manual are, for the most part, closed cup flash points. Where the only available data is based on open cup tests, this is designated by the initials
This guide applies to flammable liquids, flam-
“oc” after the entry. In the case of some of the older data in this manual, it could not be determined whether a closed cup or open cup procedure had been used. In these cases, it has been assumed that the data is based on closed cup tests. For further information on the flash point test procedures used, see NFPA 321, Standard on Basic ClassiJi- cation of Flammble and Combustible Liquzds.
1-3.4 Ignition Temperature. The ignition temperature of a substance, whether solid, liquid, or gas, is the mini- mum temperature required to cause self-sustained com- bustion, independently of the heating or heated element. Ignition temperatures observed under one set of condi- tions may differ markedly from those observed under another set of conditions. For this reason, ignition temper- atures should be regarded as approximations. Some of the variables known to affect ignition temperature are the per- centage of the gas or vapor in the mixture, the shape and size of the test vessel, the rate and duration of heating, the kind and temperature of the ignition source, and catalytic or other effects of materials that may be present. As there are many differences in ignition temperature test methods, such as the size and shape of the test vessel, the material of construction of the test vessel, method and rate of heating, residence time, and method of flame detection, it is not surprising that reported ignition temperatures may differ for the same material.
The majority of the data reported in this manual have been obtained by one of two methods: ASTM D286 and ASTM D2155. Both have been withdrawn by the American Society for Testing and Materials. ASTM D2155 has been replaced by ASTM E659, Standard Test Method for Autoigni- tion Temperatures of Liquid Chemicals. An earlier test method, ASTM D2883, Test Method for Reaction Threshold Temperature of Liquid and Solid Materials, provides for the study of auto- ignition phenomena at reduced and elevated pressures. Federal Test Method Standard 791B, Method 5050, is another current test method that provides for the mea- surement of autoignition properties in the same terms used by the ASTM procedures.
Previous test methods relied only on visual detection of flame. Consequently, the ignition temperatures obtained by these procedures were the minimum temperatures at which hot-flame ignition occurred. The current test meth- ods employ thermoelectric flame detection, thus permit- ting the detection of nonluminous or barely luminous reac- tions that were difficult or impossible to detect by the older procedures. As a result, the following terms have come into use:
A rapid, self-sustaining, sometimes audible gas-phase reaction of the sample or its decomposi- tion products with an oxidant. A readily visible yellow or blue flame usually accompanies the reaction.
A relatively slow, self-sustaining, barely luminous gas-phase reaction of the sample or its decomposition products with an oxidant. Cool flames are visible only in a darkened area.
A slow, nonluminous gas-phase reaction of the sample or its decomposition products with an oxidant.
A relatively fast, self-sustaining, ener- getic, sometimes luminous, sometimes audible reaction

that occurs as a result of the catalytic action of any sub- stance on the sample or its decomposition products, in admixture with an oxidant.
Non-Combustive Reaction. A reaction other than combus- tion or thermal degradation that is undergone by certain substances when they are exposed to heat. Thermal poly- merization is an example of this type of reaction.
Reaction Threshold. The lowest temperature at which any reaction of the sample or its decomposition products occurs, for any sampleioxidant ratio.
Autoipi t ion Temperature (AIT). The currently accepted term for the Hot-Flame Ignition Temperature.
Cool-Flame Reaction Threshold (CFT). The lowest temper- ature at which cool-flame ignitions are observed for a par- ticular system. Previously undefined.
Prefiame-Reaction Threshold ( R U ) . The lowest tempera- ture at which exothermic gas-phase reactions are observed for a particular system. Previously undefined.
Previously, reported ignition temperatures, including those given in this manual, have corresponded roughly to the autoignition temperature (AIT), provided that proper allowances were made for empirical differences in the mea- surement technique. In the future, it is expected that CFT and R T ï will routinely be reported. Both are lower than AIT and are significant factors to be evaluated in the assessment of the overall ignition risk of a given system. Cool flames are self-sustaining, exothermic ignition reac- tions that, under proper circumstances, may act as the ini- tiator of more energetic hot-flame reactions. Pre-flame reactions have the capacity, under adiabatic or near- adiabatic conditions, to elevate the temperature of a fuel/ air mixture to the point where cool- or hot-flame ignition may occur.
As an illustration of the effects of test methods, the igni- tion temperature of hexane, as determined by three differ- ent methods, are 437°F (225”C), 637°F (336“C), and 950°F (510°C). The effect of percentage composition is shown by the following ignition temperatures for pentane: 1018.4”F (548.4”C) at 1.5 percent, 935.6”F (502.4”C) at 3.75 percent, and 888.8”F (476.3”C) at 7.65 percent. The following igni- tion temperatures for carbon disulfide demonstrate the effect of the size of the test vessel: 248°F (120°C) in a 200 ml flask, 230°F (1 1 0 T ) in a 1 liter flask, and 205°F (96OC) in a 10 liter flask. The effect of the material of construction of the test vessel is shown by the following ignition temper- atures for benzene: 1060°F (572°C) in a quartz vessel and 1252°F (678°C) in an iron vessel.
The ignition temperature of a combustible solid is influ- enced by the rate of air flow, rate of heating, and size of the sample. Small sample tests have shown that, as the rate of air flow or the rate of heating is increased, the ignition t empera tu re decreases to a minimum value, then increases.
1-3.5 Flammable (Explosive) Limits. In the case of gases or vapors that form flammable mixtures with air, oxygen, or other oxidizers, such as chlorine and nitrous oxide, there is a minimum concentration of the material below
which propagation of flame does not occur. Similarly, there is a maximum concentration above which propaga- tion of flame does not occur. These boundary mixtures, which, if ignited, will just propagate flame, are known as the “lower and upper flammable or explosive limits” and are usually expressed as percent by volume of the material in air (or other oxidant). In popular terms, a mixture below the lower flammable limit (LFL) is too “lean” to burn, while a mixture above the upper flammable limit (UFL) is too “rich” to burn.
The values for the flammable limits given in this manual are based on atmospheric temperatures and pressures, unless otherwise indicated. There will be considerable vari- ation in flammable limits at temperatures and pressures above or below ambient. The general effect of an increase in temperature or pressure is to decrease the lower limit and to increase the upper limit, i.e., broaden the range between the two limits. A decrease in the temperature or pressure has the opposite effect. In most cases, the values given in this manual represent the concentration limits over which hot-flame ignitions have been observed. If cool- flame ignitions are considered, wider flammable ranges are observed.
Research has shown that flammability limits are not a fundamental combustion property, but depend on many variables, including the surface-to-volume ratio of the test vessel, the direction of air flow, and the velocity of air flow. In some experiments conducted at laminar flow velocities, the upper limit increased with increasing flow velocity, reached a maximum that was independent of the diameter of the test vessel, then decreased as flow became turbulent. The lower limit has been unaffected by air flow rate.
ASTM E681 is the current test method for determining flammable limits. However, much of the data were obtained in small diameter tubes with ignition at the bot- tom so that flame propagation was upward. For most hydrocarbons, this method is appropriate. However, for highly oxygenated, aminated, or halogenated materials, larger diameter equipment is required to avoid quenching of the flame. Larger diameter test equipment or more energetic ignition sources may better reflect real world burning conditions.
The terms “flammable limits” and “explosive limits” are interchangeable.
The range of concentration between the lower flamma- ble limit and the upper flammable limit is known as the “flammable range,” also referred to and synonymous with “explosive range.” All concentrations of a gas or vapor in air that lie between the flammable limits are ignitible.
1-3.6 Specific Gravity (Relative Density). The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of the weight of that sub- stance to the weight of an equal volume of another sub- stance. In this manual, the other substance is water. The values given in this manual for specific gravity are rounded to the nearest tenth. For materials whose specific gravity is from 0.95 to 1 .O, the value is shown as 1 .O - . For materials whose specific gravity is from 1.0 to 1.05, the value is given as 1.0 + . In a few cases, such as fuel oils, where the per- centage composition of the substance varies, specific grav- ity is given as less than (<) or greater than (>) 1.

PROPERTIES OF FL#IMMABLE LIQUIDS, GASES, VOLATILE SOLIDS
1-3.7 Vapor Density. The vapor density of a substance is the ratio of the weight of a volume of pure vapor or gas (no air present) to an equal volume of dry air at the same tem- perature and pressure. It is calculated as the ratio of the molecular weight of the substance to the molecular weight of air, 29. A vapor density of less than 1 indicates that the substance is lighter than air and will tend to rise in a rela- tively calm atmosphere. A vapor density of greater than 1 indicates that the substance is heavier than air and may travei along grade level for a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back, assuming the gas or vapor is flammable.
1-3.8 Boiling Point. The boiling point of each liquid is given at a pressure of 14.7 psia (760 mm Hg). Where an accurate boiling point is not available for a specific entry or where a specific entry is actually a mixture of components and does not have a constant boiling point, the boiling point given is the 10 percent distillation point as deter- mined by ASTM D86, Standard Method of Test for Distillation of Petroleum Products.
1-3.9 Melting Point. Melting points are reported in this manual for most materials that melt at 70°F (21°C) or higher. However, the melting point is not available for some of these materials.
1-3.10 Water Solubility. Water solubility data a re reported only for those materials for which reliable infor- mation is available, because of the lack of uniformity with which water solubility data are reported in the literature and because of the conflicting statements that sometimes accompany these data. Where such data is reported in this manual, “No” indicates that the material’s solubility is less than 10 grams per 100 milliliters (mi) of water; “Slight” indicates solubility is between 10 and 24 grams per 100 mi of water; “Yes” indicates solubility of 25 or more grams per 100 ml of water.
“No,” “Very Slight,” “Slight,” and “Yes” are sometimes used without definition in the literature to describe water solubility. In those cases where doubt exists as to a materi- al’s solubility in water, tests should be conducted.
Information on the degree to which a material is soluble in water is useful in determining effective extinguishing methods and agents. For example, alcohol-resistant fire fighting foams are usually recommended for water-soluble flammable and combustible liquids. Also, fires involving water-soluble liquids can be extinguished by dilution with water, although this method is not commonly used because of the amount of water needed to dilute most flammable liquids to the point of noncombustibility and because of the danger of frothing if the liquid is heated to the boiling point of water, 2 12°F (1 OOOC).
1-4 Extinguishing Methods.
1-4.1 General. The extinguishing methods commonly used for fires involving flammable liquids are suitable for use on fires involving most of the materials listed in this manual. Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, and vaporiz- ing liquid extinguishing agents have all been found to be suitable for use on flammable liquid fires of moderate size, such as in dip tanks or small spills of no appreciable depth.
The following comments apply to other extinguishing methods that have been found effective for the control or extinguishment of some flammable liquids fires.
Water spray or fog can be particularly effective on fires involving flammable liquids and volatile solids whose flash points exceed 100°F (37.8”C). However, with liquids whose flash points exceed 212°F (100”C), frothing may occur. For information on the installation of water spray protection for flammable and combustible liquids, see NFPA 15, Stan- dard f o r Water Spray Fixed Systems for Fire Protection.
Automatic sprinklers are similar to water spray systems in extinguishing effectiveness. Their principal value is in absorbing the heat from the fire and keeping the sur- roundings cool until the flammable liquids fire either burns out or is extinguished by other means. Automatic sprinklers have a good record of fire control in garages, in paint and oil rooms, and in storage areas where liquids are kept in closed containers. In some industries that use water-soluble liquids, such as the distilled spirits industry, sprinkler systems have been used to achieve protection and extinguishment with excellent results. Where automatic sprinklers are used to protect open tanks, overflow drains are necessary to prevent sprinkler discharge from over- flowing the tank and spreading burning liquid to others parts of the property. For further information on auto- matic sprinklers, see NFPA 13, Standard fo r the Installation of Sprinkler Systems.
Hose streams, both solid and straight streams, are fre- quently used to cool tanks, containers, and equipment from the heat of an exposing fire. They are also used for washing burning spills away from areas where the burning liquid could ignite other material. However, hose streams may also spread and extend the spill fire, if improperly used. Also, hose streams applied to open containers of burning liquid will only serve to spread the fire, either by splashing the burning liquid out of the container or by causing frothing of the liquid.
Use of automatic-closing covers on open tanks or equip- ment containing flammable or combustible liquid is also effective in fire control and extinguishment. The covers should be operated by a fusible link, with a manual over- ride. Such covers are suitable for any size tank except where objects being dipped or conveyor systems may pre- vent tight closing of the cover.
1-4.2 Selecting an Extinguishing Method. The selection of the extinguishing method used should be made with some degree of caution. Flowing fires, such as may be caused by a leaking overhead pipe, with burning liquid on the ground, are always difficult to extinguish. The amount of extinguishing agent and its rate and method of applica- tion must be carefully chosen in relation to the size and type of fire anticipated and may call for special engineering judgment. The use of approved extinguishing equipment is also a major consideration.
The chemical and physical properties of the material involved will also affect the choice of extinguishing method and agent. Standard fire fighting foam cannot be used on fires involving water-soluble flammable liquids; the liquid destroys the foam blanket. Those properties that affect extinguishment were taken into consideration when select- ing the methods given for each material in the column

headed ?Extinguishing Methods.? The following informa- tion describes the properties of the material that dictate the numerically designated entries in this column.
i . Water May Be Ineffective. This precaution applies to materials that have a flash point below 100°F (373°C). Obviously, the lower the flash point, the less effective the water will be. However, water can be used on low-flash point liquids when applied as a spray to absorb heat and to protect exposed material? of structures. Much of the effec- tiveness of using water spray, particularly from hose lines, will depend on the method of application. With proper selection of nozzles, even gasoline spill fires can be extin- guished when several coordinated hose streams are used to sweep the flames from the surface of the burning liquid. Water has also been used to extinguish fires involving water-soluble flammable liquids by cooling and diluting the liquid. The distilled spirits industry has been especially suc- cessful in using water to control and extinguish fires of this type.
Thus, the phrase ?water may be ineffective? indicates that, although water can be used to cool and protect exposed material, water may not be capable of extinguish- ing the fire unless used under favorable conditions by experienced fire fighters trained in fighting all types of flammable liquids fires.
2. Water or Foam May Cause Frothing. This statement applies to liquids having flash points above 2 12°F ( 100°C) and is included only as a precaution. It does not indicate that water or fire fighting foam should not be used. The frothing may be violent and could endanger any fire fight- ers located too close to the burning liquid, particularly when solid streams of water are directed onto the hot, burning liquid. On the other hand, a carefully applied water spray has frequently been used to achieve extin- guishment by deliberately causing frothing only on the sur- face of the liquid; the foaming action blankets the surface of the liquid and extinguishes the fire by excluding oxy- gen. This tactic is especially successful with high viscosity liquids. For example, certain asphalts have a low-flash point solvent added for fluidity, but because of the rela- tively high viscosity, frothing action is able to achieve fire control and extinguishment.
3. Water May Re Used to Blanket Fire. This statement is applicable to those liquids that have a specific gravity of 1.1 or greater and are not water-soluble. However, the water must be gently applied to the surface of the liquid, prefer- ably with a fine spray or fog nozzle.
4. Water May Be Ineffective, Except as a Blanket. This state- ment is used as a warning for liquids whose flash points are below 100°F (373°C) and applies only to those liquids that have a specific gravity of 1.1 or greater and are not water- soluble. Here again, the water must be gently applied to the surface of the liquid.
5 . Alcohol Foam. Alcohol-resistant fire fighting foam is recommended for use on all water-soluble liquids or polar solvent-type liquids, except for those that are only ?very slightly? soluble. Certain judgment factors are introduced, however, since ordinary fire fighting foam may be used on some liquids that are only ?slightly? soluble, particularly if the foam is applied at higher-than-normal applica- tion rates. Conversely, some flammable liquids, such as
the higher molecular weight alcohols and amines, will destroy alcohol-resistant foams, even when applied at very high rates. Foams should not be used on water-reactive materiais.
Some recently developed alcohol-resistant foams have been listed for use on both polar and nonpolar liquids. These ?multipurpose? foams are suitable for use on nearly ali flammable liquids except those that are water-reactive and are preferred for flammable liquid fires because they greatly minimize the problems of foam selection. Fire fight- ing foam suppliers should be consulted for recommenda- tions regarding types of foam and application rates.
6. Stop Flow of Gas. For fires involving flammable gases, the best procedure is to stop the flow of the gas before attempting extinguishment of the fire. To extinguish the fire while allowing continued flow of the gas is extremely dangerous; an explosive cloud of gasiair mixture may be created that, if ignited, may cause far more damage than the original fire. Extinguishing the flame using carbon dioxide or dry chemical may be desirable to allow immedi- ate access to valves to shut off the flow of gas, but this must be done carefully. In many cases, it will be preferable to allow continued burning, while protecting exposures with water spray, until the flow of gas can be stopped.
1-5 Suggested Hazard Identification. 1-5.1 The increased use of chemicals, many of which introduced hazards other than flammability, led to the need for a simple hazard identification system that could be immediately recognized by emergency response person- nel. This need led to the development of the NFPA 704 Hazard Identification System, otherwise known as the NFPA 704 diamond. This system is completely described in NFPA 704, Standard System for the Identification of the Fire Hazards of Materials. The system provides simple, readily recognized, and easily understood markings that give, at a glance, a general idea of the inherent hazards of the mate- rial and the order of severity of these hazards, as they relate to fire protection, exposure, and control. The sys- tem?s objectives are to provide an appropriate alert signal and on-the-spot information to safeguard the lives of both public and private emergency response personnel. The system also assists in planning for effective fire fighting operations and may be used by plant design engineers and plant protection and safety personnel.
The system identifies the hazards of a material in terms of three categories: ?Health,? ?Flammability,? and ?Reac- tivity.? i t indicates the order of severity of these hazards by means of a numerical rating of O , indicating no special haz- ard, to 4, indicating extreme hazard. The three hazard cat- egories were selected after studying about 35 inherent and environmental hazards of materials that could affect fire fighting operations. The f ive degrees of hazard were decided upon as necessary to give the required informa- tion. Finally, the system had to be relatively simple and readily understood.
While the system is basically simple in application, the hazard evaluation required for the use of the system in a specific location must be made by experienced, technically competent persons. Their judgment must be based on fac- tors that encompass a knowledge of the inherent hazards of different materials, including the extent of change in behavior to be anticipated under conditions of fire expo- sure and control.

1-5.2 Degrees of Hazard. The columns under “Sug- gested Hazard Identification” in this manual give the NFPA 704 severity ratings for each of the hazard categories for which information was available. Blank spaces indicate that sufficient information was not available for a severity rating to be assigned. It should be understood that the assignment of the ratings is based on judgment and that extenuating circumstances in plants and processes may dic- tate a change in any individual rating.
The following commentary on the degrees of hazard are an interpretation of the information contained in NFPA 704, Standard System f o r the Identzfication of the Fire Hazards of Materials, and are specifically related to fire fighting. See NFPA 704 for more detailed information.
Note: The hazard identification rating definitions below and the actual ratings in the text are based on definitions from the 1985 edition of NFPA 704. All materials contained in this guide have not yet been rated using the new defini- tions appearing in the 1990 edition of’ NFPA 704.
1-5.3 Health Hazard Rating. In general, the health haz- ard in fire fighting is that of a single exposure that may vary from a few seconds to as much as an hour. The phys- ical exertion demanded in fire fighting operations or other emergencies may be expected to intensify the effects of any exposure. Only hazards arising out of the inherent proper- ties of the material are considered. The following informa- tion on the five degrees of hazard are based on the infor- mation in NFPA 704 and relate to the protective equipment normally available to fire fighters.
4 Materials that, on very short exposure, could cause death or major residual injury, including those that are too dangerous to be approached without special- ized protective equipment. A few whiffs of the vapor or gas can cause death, or contact with the vapor or liquid may be fatal, if it penetrates the fire fighter’s normal protective gear. The normal full protective clothing and breathing apparatus available to the typical fire fighter will not provide adequate protec- tion against inhalation or skin contact with these materials.
Materials that, on short exposure, could cause seri- ous temporary or residual injury, including those requiring protection from all bodily contact. Fire fighters may enter the area only if they are protected from all contact with the material. Full protective clothing, including self-contained breathing appara- tus, coat, pants, gloves, boots, and bands around legs, arms, and waist, should be provided. No skin surface should be exposed.
3
2 Materials that, on intense or continued (but not chronic) exposure, could cause temporary incapaci- tation or possible residual injury, including those requiring the use of respiratory protective equip- ment that has an independent air supply. These materials are hazardous to health, but areas may be entered freely if personnel are provided with full- face mask self-contained breathing apparatus that provides complete eye protection.
1 Materials that, on exposure, would cause irritation, but only minor residual injury, including those
requiring the use of an approved air-purifying respi- rator. These materials are only slightly hazardous to health and only breathing protection is needed.
Materials that, on exposure under fire conditions, offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible material.
O
1-5.4 Flammability Hazard Rating. Susceptibility to igni- tion and burning is the basis for assigning the degree of hazard within this category. The method of attacking the fire is influenced by this susceptibility factor. For fur- ther information, refer to Section 1-4, Extinguishing Meth- ods. The following information is based on the defini- tions of Flammability Hazard Rating contained in NFPA 704, Standard System f o r the Identzfication of the Fire Hazards of Materials.
This degree includes flammable gases, pyrophoric liquids, and Class IA flammable liquids. The pre- ferred method of fire attack is to stop the flow of material or to protect exposures while allowing the fire to burn itself out.
This degree includes Class IB and IC flammable liq- uids and materials that can be easily ignited under almost all normal temperature conditions. Water may be ineffective in controlling or extinguishing fires in such materials.
This degree includes materials that must be moder- ately heated before ignition will occur and includes Class II and IIIA combustible liquids and solids and semi-solids that readily give off ignitible vapors. Water spray may be used to extinguish fires in these materials because the materials can be cooled below their flash points.
This degree includes materials that must be pre- heated before ignition will occur, such as Class IIIB combustible liquids and solids and semi-solids whose flash point exceeds 200°F (93.4”C), as well as most ordinary combustible materials. Water may cause frothing if it sinks below the surface of the burning liquid and turns to steam. However, a water fog that is gently applied to the surface of the liquid will cause frothing that will extinguish the fire.
This degree includes any material that will not burn.
1-5.5 Reactivity Hazard Rating. The assignment of the degree of reactivity hazard is based on the potential of the material to release energy either by itself or when in con- tact with water. In assigning this rating, fire exposure was considered, along with exposure to shock and pressure. The following information is based on the definitions of Reactivity Hazard Rating contained in NFPA 704, Standard System f o r the Identification of the Fire Hazards of Materials.
4 This degree includes those materials that, in them- selves, are readily capable of detonation, explosive decomposition, or explosive reaction at normal tem- peratures and pressures. This includes materials that are sensitive to localized mechanical or thermal

shock. If a material having this Reactivity Hazard Rating is involved in an advanced or massive fire, the area should be immediately evacuated.
This degree includes materials that, in themselves, are capable of detonation, explosive decomposition, or explosive reaction, but require a strong initiating source or heating under confinement. This includes materials that are sensitive to thermal and mechani- cal shock at elevated temperatures and pressures and materials that react explosively with water. Fires involving these materials should be fought from a protected location.
This degree includes materials that are normally unstable and readily undergo violent chemical change, but are not capable of detonation. This includes materials that can undergo chemical change with rapid release of energy at normal temperatures and pressures and materials that can undergo violent chemical changes at elevated temperatures and pres- sures. This also includes materials that may react violently with water or that may form potentially explosive mixtures with water. In advanced or mas- sive fires involving these materials, fire fighting should be done from a safe distance or from a pro- tected location.
This degree includes materials that are normally sta- ble, but that may become unstable at elevated tem- peratures and pressures and materials that will react with water with some release of energy, but not vio- lently. Fires involving these materials should be approached with caution.
This degree includes materials that are normally sta- ble, even under fire exposure conditions, and that do not react with water. Normal fire fighting procedures may be used.

1-5.6 Additional Markings. The fourth space in the NFPA 704 rating is reserved for the use of two special sym- bols: OX, to denote materials that are oxidizing agents, and W, to denote materials that are water-reactive.
1-6 Additional Information.
1-6.1 Mixtures with Oxygen. Unless otherwise indi- cated, all values in this manual are based on tests con- ducted in normal air. For mixtures involving enriched oxy- gen atmospheres, the values may differ and an increase in hazard is probable.
1-6.2 Mixtures of Materials. Mixtures of two or more materials may have different fire hazard properties than any of the components. Although it is common practice to
base the fire hazard of a mixture on that of the most haz- ardous component, consideration should be given to test- ing the mixture itself.
1-6.3 Mists and Froths. In finely divided form, such as a mist or spray, liquids can be ignited at temperatures con- siderably below their flash points. As in the case of vapors, the droplets of mist or spray must be present at a mini- mum concentration. Similarly, froths may be ignited at temperatures below the flash point.
1-7 Indexing.
1-7.1 The materials in this manual are listed alphabeti- cally by the name considered to be the most common. Other names and synonyms are indexed to this common name.
1-7.2 The following prefixes are considered to be a part of the name of the material. As such, they are generally not hyphenated and are used to alphabetically index the mate- rial when they appear at the beginning of the name.
Bis Is0 Tetra Di Mono Tri Hexa Penta Tris
1-7.3 The prefix “mono” is often omitted. Thus, mono- chlorobenzene is frequently referred to as chlorobenzene. This manual uses the more common form. The alternate form is not given, unless it is also frequently used.
1-7.4 The following prefixes are not considered to be part of the name of the material. As such, they are hyphen- ated, but they are not used to alphabetically index the material.
These prefixes may be written out in full, as in paradichlorobenzene. In this manual, they are usually abbreviated. Thus, paradichlorobenzene appears in this manual as p-dichlorobenzene and is indexed under D. In accordance with custom, the prefix n-, for “normal,” is omitted, unless it appears in the middle of a name.
1-7.5 The prefixes “cis” and “trans” may be placed either at the beginning or the end of a name. In this manual, they are always listed at the end.

The NFPA Codes and Standards Development Process Since 1896, one of the primary purposes of the NFPA has been to develop and update the standards covering ali areas of fire safety.
Calls for Proposals The code adoption process takes place twice each year and begins with a call for proposals from the public to amend existing codes and standards or to develop the content of new fire safety documents.
Report on Proposals Upon receipt of public proposals, the technical committee members meet to review, consider, and act on the proposals. The public proposals - together with the committee action on each proposal and committee- generated proposals - are published in the NFPA's Report on Proposals (ROP). The ROP is then subject to public review and comment.
Report on Comments These public comments are considered and acted upon by the appropriate technical committees. All public comments - together with the committee action on each comment - are published as the Committee's supplementary report in the NFPA's Report on Comments (ROC).
The committee's report and supplementary report are then presented for adoption and open debate at either of NFPA's semi-annual meetings held throughout the United States and Canada.
Association Action The Association meeting may, subject to review and issuance by the NFPA Standards Council, (a) adopt a report as published, (b) adopt a report as amended, contingent upon subsequent approval by the committee, (c) return a report to committee for further study, and (d) return a portion of a report to committee.
Standards Council Action The Standards Council will make a judgement on whether or not to issue an NFPA document based upon the entire record before the Council, including the vote taken at the Association meeting on the technical committee's report.
Voting Procedures Voting at an NFPA Annual or Fall Meeting is restricted to members of record for 180 days prior to the opening of the first general session of the meeting, except that individuals who join the Association at an Annual or Fall Meeting are entitled to vote at the next Fall or Annual Meeting.
"Members" are defined by Article 3.2 of the Bylaws as individuals, firms, corporations, trade or professional associations, institutes, fire departments, fire brigades, and other public or private agencies desiring to advance the purposes of the Association. Each member shall have one vote in the affairs of the Association. Under Article 4.5 of the Bylaws, the vote of such a member shall be cast by that member individually or by an employee designated in writing by the member of record who has registered for the meeting. Such a designated person shall not be eligible to represent more than one voting privilege on each issue, nor cast more than one vote on each issue.
Any member who wishes to designate an employee to cast that member's vote at an Association meeting in place of that member must provide that employee with written authorization to represent the member at the meeting. The authorization must be on company letterhead signed by the member of record, with the membership number indicated, and the authorization must be recorded with the President of NFPA or his designee before the start of the opening general session of the Meeting. That employee, irrespective of his or her own personal membership status, shall be privileged to cast only one vote on each issue before the Association.
