1、 PROPOSED DRAFT OF NFPA 400 Hazardous Chemicals Code 2008 Edition The attached draft is a Committee working document. It is being circulated to solicit input from the public prior to publication as a Report on Proposals (ROP) (formerly TCR). To submit a proposal, please use the proposal form that is
2、 attached to this draft. Proposals must be received by the Secretary, Standards Council, at NFPA, by 5:00 PM EDST on Friday, May 26, 2006. Please contact the Standards Administration Department or the Staff Liaison for this document, Carl Rivkin, if you have any questions on the document. Summary of
3、 NFPA 400 Hazardous Chemicals Code April 2006 The NFPA Hazardous Chemicals Technical Committee will be creating a new Hazardous Chemicals Code, NFPA 400 for publication in 2008 (Fall 2007 revision cycle). The Pre-ROP draft of this document has been balloted and is available for submitting public pro
4、posals (proposal closing date May 26, 2006). The project will pull together many of NFPAs hazardous chemicals requirements into a single integrated document. NFPA has been moving in this direction for many years and this code will provide a structure for addressing hazardous chemicals beyond what mi
5、ght be addressed in the first edition. This document will incorporate the key existing documents that this technical committee is responsible for (NFPA 430 Code for the Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers 2004 Edition and NFPA 432 Codes for the Storage of Organic Peroxide Formulations 2002 Edition
6、, plus address the following six classes of materials as new chapters in NFPA 400 Hazardous Chemicals Code: 1. Corrosive Solids and Liquids 2. Flammable solids 3. Highly Toxic and Toxic Solids and Liquids 4. Pyrophoric Solids and Liquids 5. Unstable (Reactive) Solids and Liquids 6. Water-Reactive So
7、lids and Liquids NFPA 400 Hazardous Chemicals Code will have ten general chapters that apply to all chemicals under the scope of the document followed by ten material specific chapters that set requirements beyond the general requirements set in the first ten chapters. The ten material specific chap
8、ters correspond to the committee documents being incorporated plus the six classes of materials previously listed. Some of these chapters are marked reserved as material because not all of the committee documents will be incorporated into the first edition. The existing Hazardous Chemicals Technical
9、 Committee documents address primarily storage requirements with some limited requirements for safe handling. NFPA 400 Hazardous Chemicals Code will address additional areas of concern that include the following; 1. Hazardous waste operations 2. Plant security 3. Emergency Planning, Fire Risk Contro
10、l, and Chemical Hazards 4. Performance based options for compliance 5. Integration of building code fire safety concepts such as fire control areas 标准分享网 w w w .b z f x w .c o m 免费下载 The new chapter on emergency Planning, fire Risk Control, and chemical hazards is of particular importance because th
11、is will give fire officials basic safety requirements for chemical processes where they have not had a code mechanism to address these operations. These requirements would address chemical processes involving chemicals covered under NFPA 400 not covered by OSHA, OSHA only addresses 139 chemicals by
12、name, and at levels below the trigger levels for the OSHA Process Safety Management regulations. These chemical processes (processes below OSHA trigger levels) have not been regulated and can present serious risks. By addressing areas where there are large risks and losses involving hazardous chemic
13、als, NFPA 400 Hazardous Chemicals Code represents a significant advance in NFPA efforts to further hazardous chemical safety. The document will give enforcers, safety personnel, insurers, architects and engineers, and others involved with hazardous chemicals safety the requirements they need to stor
14、e, handle, use, and process hazardous chemicals safely.
