SOURCE: National Fire Protection Association Fire Protection Guide on Hazardous Materials
Eleventh Edition, NFPA 325 Fire Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids, Gases, Volatile Solids
1994,
LIST DESCRIPTION: The National Fire Protection Association was organized in 1896 to promote
the science and improve the methods of fire protection and fire prevention. It is a nonprofit,
educational, voluntary-membership organization recognized internationally as a clearinghouse
for information on fire prevention, fire fighting procedures and means of fire protection. It is
also recognized internationally as an authoritative source for fire-loss experience. The 1994
edition (eleventh edition) is an amended version of the 1991 edition.
The information in NFPA 325 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 U.S.Bureau of Mines, Factory
Mutual Research Corporation, and Underwriters Laboratories, as well 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 increased use of chemicals, many of which introduce hazards other than flammability, led
to the need for a simple hazard identification system that could be immediately recognized by
emergency response personnel. This led to the development of NFPA 704 Hazard Identification
System, otherwise known as the NFPA diamond. This system is completely described in NFPA
704 -Recommended System for the Identification of the Fire Hazard of Materials. This system
provides simple, readily recognized and easily understood markings that give, at a glance, a
general idea of the inherent hazards of the material and the order of severity of these hazards
as they relate to fire protection, exposure, and control. The system'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 Reactivity. It indicates the order of severity of these hazards by means of a
numerical rating of 0, indicating no special hazard, to 4, indicating extreme hazard. The three
Page 31
hazard categories were selected after studying about 35 inherent and environmental hazards
of materials that could affect fire fighting operations. The five degrees of hazard were decided
upon as necessary to give the required information.
general idea of the inherent hazards of the material and the order of severity of these hazards
as they relate to fire protection, exposure, and control. The system'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 Reactivity. It indicates the order of severity of these hazards by means of a
numerical rating of 0, indicating no special hazard, to 4, indicating extreme hazard. The three
hazard categories were selected after studying about 35 inherent and environmental hazards
of materials that could affect fire fighting operations. The five degrees of hazard were decided
upon as necessary to give the required 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. Materials have not been rated using
the new definitions appearing in the 1990 edition of NFPA 704.
HEALTH HAZARD RATING: In general, health hazard in fire fighting is that of a single
exposure which may vary from a few seconds up to an hour. Only hazards arising out of an
inherent property of the material are considered. The following explanation is based upon
protective equipment normally used by fire fighters.
4: Materials too dangerous to health to expose fire fighters. A few whiffs of the vapor could
cause death or the vapor or liquid could be fatal on penetrating the fire fighter's normal full
protective clothing. The normal full protective clothing and breathing apparatus available to the
average fire department will not provide adequate protection against inhalation or skin contact
with these materials.
3: Materials extremely hazardous to health but areas may be entered with extreme care. Full
protective clothing, including self-contained breathing apparatus, coat, pants, gloves, boots,
and bands around legs, arms and waist should be provided. No skin surface should be exposed.
2: Materials hazardous to health, but areas may be entered freely with full-faced mask self-
contained breathing apparatus which provides eye protection.
1: Materials only slightly hazardous to health. It may be desirable to wear self-contained
breathing apparatus.
0: Materials which on exposure under fire conditions would offer no hazard beyond that of
ordinary combustible material.
4: Very flammable gases or very volatile flammable liquids. Shut off flow and keep cooling
water streams on exposed tanks or containers.
3: Materials which can be ignited under almost all normal temperature conditions. Water may
be ineffective because of the low flash point.
2: Materials which must be moderately heated before ignition will occur. Water spray may be
used to extinguish the fire because the material can be cooled below its flash point.
1: Materials that must be preheated before ignition can occur. Water may cause frothing if it
gets below the surface of the liquid and turns to steam. However, water fog gently applied to
the surface will cause a frothing which will extinguish the fire.
0: Materials that will not burn.
