Secondary Enumerations

(Technically, Needs, Importance levels, Zones and Infrastructural layers are also enumerated types, but due to the more central role they play, both in this ontology and to this project as a whole, they are defined on the main Ontology page.

NameDescription
0 - NonePoses no health hazard, requires no precautions, and would offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible materials
1 - IrritationExposure would cause irritation with only minor residual injury
2 - Temporary IncapacitationIntense or continued but not chronic exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury
3 - Serious injuryShort exposure could cause serious temporary or moderate residual injury
4 - DeathVery short exposure could cause death or major residual injury
NameDescription
0 - InflammableMaterials that will not burn under typical fire conditions, including intrinsically noncombustible materials such as concrete, stone, and sand. Materials that will not burn in air unless exposed to a temperature of 820 °C for more than 5 minutes.
1 - Requires considerable preheatingMaterials that require considerable preheating, under all ambient temperature conditions, before ignition and combustion can occur (e.g. mineral oil, ammonia, ethylene glycol). Includes some finely divided suspended solids that do not require heating before ignition can occur. Flash point at or above 93.3 °C.
2 - Requires moderate preheatingMust be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high ambient temperature before ignition can occur (e.g. diesel fuel, paper, sulfur and multiple finely divided suspended solids that do not require heating before ignition can occur). Flash point between 37.8 and 93.3 °C.
3 - FlammableLiquids and solids (including finely divided suspended solids) that can be ignited under almost all ambient temperature conditions (e.g. acetone, ethanol). Liquids having a flash point below 22.8 °C and having a boiling point at or above 37.8 °C or having a flash point between 22.8 and 37.8 °C.
4 - Highly flammableWill rapidly or completely vaporize at normal atmospheric pressure and temperature, or is readily dispersed in air and will burn readily (e.g. gasoline, acetylene, propane, hydrogen gas, diborane). Includes pyrophoric substances. Flash point below room temperature at 22.8 °C.
NameDescription
0 - StableNormally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water (e.g. helium, N2, carbon dioxide)
1 - Mostly stableNormally stable, but can become unstable at elevated temperatures and pressures (e.g. propene, ammonium acetate, carbonic acid)
2 - Chemically reactiveUndergoes violent chemical change at elevated temperatures and pressures, reacts violently with water, or may form explosive mixtures with water (e.g. white phosphorus, potassium, sodium)
3 - Explosive (insensitive)Capable of detonation or explosive decomposition but requires a strong initiating source, must be heated under confinement before initiation, reacts explosively with water, or will detonate if severely shocked (e.g. ammonium nitrate, caesium, hydrogen peroxide)
4 - ExplosiveReadily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition at normal temperatures and pressures (e.g. nitroglycerin, chlorine dioxide, nitrogen triiodide, manganese heptoxide, TNT, Picric acid)
