  Information on storage of hazardous materials

  
  How to store water polluting liquids according to regulations.
  
  
  In general, please observe the specific regulations, provisions and laws with regard to approvals and stipulated capacities, etc.
  
  
  Installation and storage of sump trays
  To protect groundwater, containers utilised for the storage of flammable or nonflammable water hazardous liquids must be secured against leakage by means of an appropriate sump tray.
  Sump trays may only be set up on even surfaces protected against rain.
  
  
  Example
  
  
  Storage of 2 x 200 litre drums
  - Overall storage quantity = 400 litres, of which 10 % = 40 litres
  - Largest container = 200 litres
  Mandatory sump tray volume = 200 litres
  
  
  
  Note
  IFor storage in water protection areas (in so far as storage is permitted), drum sumps must be able to hold the entire quantity of materials stored (100 %).
  
  
  Steel sump trays for storing flammable and highly flammable liquids (hazard symbols F, F+) as well as materials in water hazard classes 1 - 3.
  
  
  PE-sump trays for storing water polluting liquids in all hazard classes (1 - 3). In Germany, not permitted for storage of flammable materials.
  
  
  Resistance of the materials
  The corrosion resistance of the sump tray materials used and their suitability for use with the stored media must be certified. This is the user's responsibility.
  
  
  Please always observe the lists of resistant materials and hazardous material data sheets for the material to be stored.
  
  
  Tip
  Unless otherwise stated in the list of resistant materials, the material can usually be the same as the material used to manufacture the storage container.
  
  
  Water hazard classes

  Class	Designation		Examples
  1	Slight water hazard		Aceton, alcohol, RME
  2	Water hazard		Diesel, lubricants, heating fuel
  3	Severe water hazard		Used oil, tri, per
  When storing mixtures, components with the highest water hazard classes take precedence.

  Classification of flammable liquids in accordance with § 4 of the hazardous goods directive

  Classification	Hazard symbol	R sets		Flash point
  Flash point over 55 °C	-	-		> 55°C
  Combustible	-	R 10		> 21°C and < 55 °C
  Flammable	F	R 11, R 15, R 17		> 0°C and < 21 °C
  Highly flammable	F+	R 12		< 0 °C, boiling point max. 35 °C
