FLAMMABILITY HAZARD:
0 (Minimal Hazard-Materials that will not burn in air when exposure to a
temperature of 815.5C [1500F] for a period of 5 minutes.); 1 (Slight
Hazard-Materials that must be pre-heated before ignition can occur.
Material require considerable pre-heating, under all ambient temperature
conditions before ignition and combustion can occur, Including: Materials
that will burn in air when exposed to a temperature of 815.5C (1500F) for
a period of 5 minutes or less; Liquids, solids and semisolids having a flash
point at or above 93.3C [200F] (e.g. OSHA Class IIIB, or; Most ordinary
combustible materials [e.g. wood, paper, etc.]; 2 (Moderate Hazard-
Materials that must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high
ambient temperatures before ignition can occur. Materials in this degree
would not, under normal conditions, form hazardous atmospheres in air, but
under high ambient temperatures or moderate heating may release vapor in
sufficient quantities to produce hazardous atmospheres in air, Including:
Liquids having a flash-point at or above 37.8C [100F]; Solid materials in
the form of course dusts that may burn rapidly but that generally do not
form explosive atmospheres; Solid materials in a fibrous or shredded form
that may burn rapidly and create flash fire hazards (e.g. cotton, sisal, hemp;
Solids and semisolids that readily give off flammable vapors.); 3 (Serious
Hazard- Liquids and solids that can be ignited under almost all ambient
temperature conditions. Materials in this degree produce hazardous
atmospheres with air under almost all ambient temperatures, or, unaffected
by ambient temperature, are readily ignited under almost all conditions,
including: Liquids having a flash point below 22.8C [73F] and having a
boiling point at or above 38C [100F] and below 37.8C [100F] [e.g.
OSHA Class IB and IC]; Materials that on account of their physical form or
environmental conditions can form explosive mixtures with air and are
readily dispersed in air [e.g., dusts of combustible solids, mists or droplets
of flammable liquids]; Materials that burn extremely rapidly, usually by
reason of self-contained oxygen [e.g. dry nitrocellulose and many organic
peroxides]); 4 (Severe Hazard-Materials that will rapidly or completely
vaporize at atmospheric pressure and normal ambient temperature or that
are readily dispersed in air, and which will burn readily, including:
Flammable gases; Flammable cryogenic materials; Any liquid or gaseous
material that is liquid while under pressure and has a flash point below
22.8C [73F] and a boiling point below 37.8C [100F] [e.g. OSHA Class
IA; Material that ignite spontaneously when exposed to air at a temperature
of 54.4C [130F] or below [e.g. pyrophoric]).
PHYSICAL HAZARD:
0 (Water Reactivity: Materials that do not react with water. Organic
Peroxides: Materials that are normally stable, even under fire conditions
and will not react with water. Explosives: Substances that are Non-
Explosive. Unstable Compressed Gases: No Rating. Pyrophorics: No
Rating. Oxidizers: No “0” rating allowed. Unstable Reactives: Substances
that will not polymerize, decompose, condense or self-react.); 1 (Water

Organic Peroxides: Materials that are normally stable, but can become
unstable at high temperatures and pressures. These materials may react
with water, but will not release energy. Explosives: Division 1.5 & 1.6
substances that are very insensitive explosives or that do not have a mass
explosion hazard.

Pyrophorics: No Rating. Oxidizers: Packaging Group III; Solids: any
material that in either concentration tested, exhibits a mean burning time
less than or equal to the mean burning time of a 3:7 potassium
bromate/cellulose mixture and the criteria for Packing Group I and II are
not met. Liquids: any material that exhibits a mean pressure rise time
less than or equal to the pressure rise time of a 1:1 nitric acid

generation or explosive hazard. Substances that readily undergo
hazardous polymerization in the absence of inhibitors.); 2 (Water

readily undergo violent chemical change, but will not detonate. These
materials may also react violently with water. Explosives: Division 1.4 –
Explosive substances where the explosive effect are largely confined to
the package and no projection of fragments of appreciable size or range
are expected. An external fire must not cause virtually instantaneous
explosion of almost the entire contents of the package. Compressed

pressure rise time less than or equal to the pressure rise of a 1:1
aqueous sodium chlorate solution (40%)/cellulose mixture and the
criteria for Packing Group I are not met. Unstable Reactives:
Substances that may polymerize, decompose, condense, or self-react at
ambient temperature and/or pressure, but have a low potential for
significant heat generation or explosion. Substances that readily form
peroxides upon exposure to air or oxygen at room temperature); 3 (Water
Reactivity: Materials that may form explosive reactions with water.

reaction, but require a strong initiating source, or must be heated under
confinement before initiation; or materials that react explosively with

both, but do not have a mass explosion hazard. Compressed Gases:

Peroxides: Materials that are readily capable of detonation or explosive
decomposition at normal temperature and pressures. Explosives:
