GROUP 5- FLAMMABLE CHEMICALS
1. Flammable gases :
Substances which in the gaseous state at normal pressure and mixed with air become flammable and the boiling point of which at normal pressure is 20 o C or below;
15t
2. Highly flammable liquids:
Substances which have a flash point lower than 23 o C and the boiling point of which at normal pressure is above 20 o C;
1000t
3. Flammable liquids :
Substances which have a flash point lower than 65 o C and which remain liquid under pressure, where particular processing conditions, such as high pressure and high temperature, may create major accident hazards.
25t
(a) The quantities set-out above relate to each installation or group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installations is not sufficient to avoid, in foreseeable circumstances, any aggravation of major accident hazards. These quantities apply in any case to each group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installations is less than 500 metres.
(b) For the purpose of determining the threshold quantity of a hazardous chemical in an industrial installation account shall be taken of any hazardous chemicals which is :- 1004 The Chemical Accidents (Emergency Planning, Preparedness and Response) Rules, 1996
(i) in that part of any pipeline under the control of the occupier having control of the site, which is within 500 metres off that site and connected to it;
(ii) at any other site under the control of the same occupier any part of the boundary of which is within 500 metres of the said site ;
and
(iii) in any vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft under the control of the same occupier which is used for storage purpose either at the site or within 500 metres of it;
but no account shall be taken of any hazardous chemical which is in a vehicle, vessels, aircraft or hovercraft used for transporting it.
(c) This applies to ammonium nitrate and mixture of ammonium nitrate where the nitrogen content derived from the ammonium nitrate is greater than 28% by weight and aqueous solutions of ammonium nitrate where the concentration of ammonium nitrate is greater than 90% by weight.
(d) This applies to straight ammonium nitrate fertilizers and to compound fertilizers where the nitrogen content derived from the ammonium nitrate is greater than 28% by weight ( a compound fertilizer contains ammonium nitrate together with phosphate and/or potash).
