Improper storage can also lead to possible dangers to your warehouse\/infrastructure if an incident were to happen. Aerosols can be a bit mystifying when trying to decipher from either the standards related to the manufacturing of cans, storage requirements, or to the proper classification of the actual finished product. Feel free to read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/the-devils-in-the-details-aerosols\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ICC&#8217;s Karri Ishmael&#8217;s blog on the classification of aerosols<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a brief overview of what the National Fire Code of Canada (NFCC) is regarding aerosols. It is key to always check with any local municipal storage requirement for dangerous goods as well. The NFCC classifies aerosols similar to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by breaking them down into three levels. Level 3 aerosols are the most dangerous, and level 1 is considered the least hazardous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Level 1 Aerosol<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Less than 25% by weight of water-miscible or non-miscible flammable base product. (This is also known in NFCC as a Class III commodity).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Level 2 Aerosol<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; 25 to 100% by weight of water-miscible flammable base product or 25 to 55% of non-water miscible flammable or combustible base product.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Level 3 Aerosol<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Greater than 55% by weight of non-water miscible flammable base product.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on these classifications, the NFCC will apply certain restrictions from maximum allowance in an individual storage area that either has a fire suppression system or not (sprinklered or unsprinkleled), plus fire separation from other products and pile\/pallets size and storage heights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Please note <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an individual storage area (ISA) is defined in the NFCC as \u201can area occupied by piles, bin boxes, racks or shelves, including subsidiary aisles providing access to the stored products which is separated from adjacent storage by aisles not less than 2.4 m in width\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The NFCC recognizes three types of storage for aerosols. The aerosol can you have will be able to tell you how much you can store in your individual storage area.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first storage type is titled \u201c<\/span><b>None.\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you have an area in which the 2.4m separation is not possible. The second is,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Type A storage. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Requirements consist of one or more &#8220;individual storage areas&#8221; separated from the remainder of the building by at least a chain-link fence barrier (3.8 mm steel wire, 50 mm diamond mesh minimum). Or, other non-combustible partitions capable of withstanding rocketing cans. It must extend to the underside of the roof deck or to a ceiling that is also strong enough to withstand such abuse. The third is,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Type B storage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Storage consists of one or more &#8220;individual storage areas&#8221; separated from the remainder of the building by non-combustible partitions, having at least a 1-hour fire-resistance rating, and are capable of withstanding the impact of rocketing cans. Walls must extend to the underside of the roof deck or to a ceiling which is also of similar construction and strong enough to withstand such abuse.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>Level 1 aerosol<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> products shall be stored as a Class III commodities, in both palletized and rack storage, in conformance with the NFCC, see table below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product Classification<\/span><\/td>\n<td colspan=\"4\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type of Dedicated Area Required<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsprinklered Building<\/span><\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sprinkled Building<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maximum size of storage area, m2<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Height of Storage, m<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maximum size of storage area, m2<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Height of Storage, m<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Class III commodities<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">250<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.5<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1000<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9.0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>Level 2 and 3 aerosol<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> products shall conform to the following maximum quantities table based on storage type available at your facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product Classification<\/span><\/td>\n<td colspan=\"6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type of Dedicated Area Required<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsprinklered Building<\/span><\/td>\n<td colspan=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sprinkled Building<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">None<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">None<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Level 2 and 3<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1000<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5000<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10000<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10000<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50000<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No limit<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, if you ever require additional information, I recommend reviewing your national and local fire and building codes.
