HazHardous materials must be stored
in such a way that:
risk involved in storing incompatible materials
together are minimized.
dangerous, violent reactions such as the generation of
flammable gases or very toxic gases are prevented.
in the event of fire, toxic smoke is avoided.
For safety reasons, all products to be stored must be classified in the
storage class relevant to their specific hazard characteristics.A chemical
can only be classified in one storage class. Chemicals having more than one
hazardous property are assigned to a class based on a ranking system for the
hazard involved. This guarantees that chemicals with the same or similar hazardous
properties can be treated similarly with regard to the necessary safety measures, in
particular fire and explosion protection. All Loba reagents and chemicals are assigned
to the storage class stated in their respective Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
and online in (htpp://www.lobachemie.com).
When the recommendations for mixed storage of chemicals of Store Card are used, national
regulations for separate and segregated storage must also be adhered to. The mixed storage table
indicate whether a product in a particular storage class may be stored together with one in another
class, whether such mixed storage together is prohibited (separate storage required) or whether there are
restrictions on mixed storage that have been observed (segregated storage in the same storage area required).

1. A risk assessment is
necessary. Are there no
significant risks a mixed storage
is permitted.
2. Combustible substances. with the
exception of flammable liquids, may be stored
in storage areas in which there are no more than
50 full compressed-gas cylinders - of which a
maximum 25 of them contain flammable,
oxidising or toxic gases - provided the storage area
for the compressed-gas cylinders is separated by an
at
least two-metre high wall made of non-combustible building
materials. Alternatively, there must be at least five-metres distance
between the gas cylinders and the combustible substances.
3. Up to 150 compressed-gas containers containing flammable, oxidising
and inert gases may be stored together. in addition. 15 compressed-gas
containers with toxic and highly toxic gases may be stored together with them at
the same time.
4. Mixed storage is permitted if the following restrictions and quantities are adhered to:
5.
Materials that ignite easily or cause a fire to spread rapidly, such as packaging materials, must not be
stored together with toxic substances of flammable liquids.
6.
Products which do not react with one another in the event of an incident may be stored together. This can be
achieved by segregated storage, e.g., physical separation, large gaps between containers, separate containment
basins / storage in safety cabinets.
7.
Mixed storage with non-combustible substances is permitted. For mixed storage with combustible substances see point 4.
Separate Storage :
The term "separate storage" means locating products in different storage areas. A storage
area is
a section of a warehouse which is separated from other rooms by either fire-resistant walls and
ceilings or safety cabinets or both. Separate storage may be necessary to avoid the
increased
risk which may happen if contact occurs between product of different storage classes.
Segregated Storage :
The term "segregated storage” means storage in the same storage area where the products
are separated from one another by gaps or barriers(e.g. walls, non-combustible substances of
storage class 10 - 13) or in safety cabinets made of non-combustible material. The mixed
storage of products of different storage classes is only permitted if certain conditions are met
(e.g. identical extinguishing agent for all products, identical temperature conditions -
>see MSDS).
Segregated storage within one are may also be necessary if certain products are in the same
storage class, but have special properties. This is also the case for products in differing storage
classes, with particular properties, for which mixed storage in accordance with the mixed
storage
table is normally permitted (e.g. : cyanides must not be stored together with substances such
as acids. with which they can form hydrogen cyanide). Information on this is available in the
hazard and precautionary statements (H271. H272, H304. EUHo29, EUHo31, EUHo32, P220,
P223 or
P420). However, chapter 10 (stability and reactivity) of the MSDS is of no use.

Protective measures and rules of conduct
The potential harm that may arise in the storage of chemicals depends not only
on the quantities involved, but also on the particular hazards they pose.
Uncontrolled storage is not permitted. The following requirements apply to all
hazardous chemicals.
1. Safety instructions, which relate either to individual chemicals or to classes of
chemicals with the same hazardous properties, need to be compiled.
2. Chemicals must be stored strictly according to the warehousing plan.
3. Workers must wear suitable protective clothing, (overalls, safety shoes and as
needed, also safety goggles and protective gloves).
4. There must be a strict ban on naked flames, unshielded lights and smoking.
5. Stored goods must be handled in a way that prevents damage to
packaging and the escape of chemicals.
6. Escape routes, emergency exits and access routes for the emergency
services must be kept free at all times.
7. Suitable fire extinguishers (ABC powder extinguishers), first-aid boxes and eye
wash bottles must be close at hand.
8. Written permission must be obtained before any welding is undertaken. The
same applies to the use of power tools (e.g. drilling, grinding, etc.,)
9. There must be a strict ban on smoking, eating and drinking in areas where
chemicals are stored.
Special rules for the storage of small quantities
These regulations apply to storage rooms with a capacity of less than one tonne
or to safety cabinets. The storage table for small quantities shows, by means of
GHS-pictograms, combinations of products may be stored together (+) or not
(-). There are no exceptions for explosive substances, gases, organic peroxides,
self-reactive substances and radioactive substances; the mixed storage table
(see above) still applies.
