26、onal Fire Protection Associa- tion, Inc., at its Annual Meeting held May 1821, 1998, in Cincinnati, OH. It was issued by the Standards Council on July 16, 1998, with an effective date of August 5, 1998, and supersedes all previous editions. Changes other than editorial are indicated by a vertical ru
27、le 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. This edition of NFPA 434 was approved as an American National Standard on August 6, 1998. Origin and Development of NFPA 434 At the 1974 NFPA Annual Me
28、eting, the Sectional Committee on Storage, Handling, and Transportation of Hazardous Chemicals obtained tentative adoption of this code. As a tenta- tive NFPA document, it was circulated for review and comment. Based on the comments received, the tentative code was revised and preprinted in the 1975
29、 NFPA Fall Meeting Tech- nical Committee Report and was again subject to public review and comment. The comments received were considered by the Sectional Committee, and their actions were published in the 1975 NFPA Fall Meeting Technical Committee Documentation. The first edition of NFPA 43D was of
30、ficially adopted by the Association at its 1975 Fall Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on November 19, 1975. It contained those requirements that the Sectional Committee believed to be essential for the safe storage of pesticides in por- table containers. It was processed in accordance with the N
31、FPA Regulations Governing Tech- nical Committees. Minor amendments were adopted at the 1980 NFPA Fall Meeting and at the 1984 NFPA Fall Meeting. The 1994 edition of NFPA 43D was a complete revision; the title of the code was changed from Code for the Storage of Pesticides in Portable Containers, to
32、Code for the Storage of Pesticides. The document was completely revised to update the requirements for safe handling, fire preven- tion, and storage provisions for restricted-use pesticides. Restricted-use pesticides are those pesticides that are required by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Ro
33、denticide Act (FIFRA) to bear the human signal word “Danger” or those pesticides that, when evaluated by NFPA 704, Standard System for the Identification of the Hazards of Materials for Emergency Response, are determined to have health hazard ratings of “3” or “4.” The NFPA Committee on Hazardous Ch
34、emicals completely revised the 1994 edition to make it compatible with industry practices and other industry standards and to incorporate regulatory provisions that have changed since the previous edition of the code. The 1998 edition includes a change to the numbering of the document from NFPA 43D
35、to NFPA 434. It also adds a new Appendix B, which is a listing of typical pesticides. 4342STORAGE OF PESTICIDES 1998 Edition Technical Committee on Hazardous Chemicals John A.
