NFPA 30

NFPA 30, published by the National Fire Protection Association, is the standard for flammable and combustible liquids, providing requirements for their storage, handling, and use to prevent fire and explosion hazards. The standard establishes classifications for liquids based on flash point and boiling point, including Class I (flammable), Class II (combustible), and Class III liquids, and sets design criteria for storage tanks, containers, and dispensing systems. NFPA 30 also addresses facility layout, secondary containment, ventilation, grounding and bonding, fire protection systems, and emergency response considerations. By providing engineering, administrative, and operational controls, the standard ensures that flammable and combustible liquids are managed safely, minimizing risks to personnel, property, and the environment while supporting regulatory compliance and fire prevention best practices.
