Matrixes -- Hazardous chemicals data, 1994 edition, amended 2001 -- Guide to fire hazard properties of flammable liquids, gases, and volatile solids, 1994 edition, amended 2001 -- Code for the storage of organic peroxide formulations, 1997 edition -- Guide to hazardous chemical reactions, 1997 edition -- Recommended practice for the classification of flammable liquids, gases, or vapors and of hazardous (classified) locations for electrical installations in chemical process areas, 1997 edition -- Standard system for the identification of the hazards of materials for emergency response, 2001 edition -- Data from Recommended practice on static electricity, 2000 edition -- Data from Code for the storage of liquid and solid oxidizers, 2000 edition -- Data from Recommended practice for the classification of combustible dusts and of hazardous (classified) locations for electrical installations in chemical process areas, 1997 edition. The six NFPA documents that make up this guide can be used to identify the hazardous properties of most of the chemicals in commercial use today, as well as many that are available only in laboratory sample quantities. The three chemical matrixes are new to this edition. Matrix one lists the major chemical entries and references the appropriate NFPA data document. Matrix 2 lists common synonyms and references official chemical names and the appropriate NFPA data document. Matrix 3 is a numerically ordered list of Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) numbers and references the chemical name and the appropriate NFPA data document.
