PREFACE
The occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
requested that the National Research Council's Committee
on Evaluation of Industrial Hazards classify in accordance
with the classification groups in Article 500 of the
National Electrical Code certain chemicals of interest to
OSHA. These chemicals include materials from an earlier
Coast Guard sponsored study and those listed by OSHA in the
Federal Register of June 27, 1974, pages 23541-23543.
The matrix presented in the body of this report contains
physical and flammability data for these chemicals along
with their classification groups.
This report is the first in a series of three reports,
the following two being directed toward the classification
of and the methodology for testing dusts.
-The chairman expresses his sincere thanks to each member,
liaison representative, and technical advisor of the committee
and to Stanley Barkin, National Materials Advisory Board,
for collecting data and for their deliberations in assign-
ing classifications--work which was often tedious and
difficult. Appreciation is also extended to Chia Chen (OSHA)
for his contribution to the assignments of families and to
Michael Persh, George Washington University, Harry A. Wray,
Harry A. Wray Associates, Rhonda Kaatz, Northern Virginia
Community College, and Evelyn Chi1ds, Naval Research
Laboratory, for many hours of assistance in preparation of
the manuscript.
