Which NFPA standard is the Code for the Manufacture and Storage of Aerosol Products?

• A. NFPA 30-2012
• B. NFPA 30B-2011
• C. NFPA 214-2011
• D. NFPA 750

Answer: (B)

The question tests which NFPA standard specifically governs the Code for the Manufacture and Storage of Aerosol Products. The aerosol products code is NFPA 30B, 2011 edition. It is the standard tailored to aerosols, detailing requirements for designing, manufacturing, packaging, storing, and handling aerosol products and their propellants, plus safety controls, ventilation, labeling, and site practices to reduce fire, explosion, and exposure risks in facilities that produce or store aerosols. The other standards address different topics (general flammable liquids, fire protection topics not specific to aerosols, etc.), so they don’t apply to aerosol product manufacturing and storage.
