    Note:

    1. The threshold quantities set out above relate to each installation or group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between installations is not sufficient to avoid, in foreseeable circumstances, any aggravation of major accident hazards. These threshold quantities apply in any case to each group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installations is less than 500 metres.

    2. For the purpose of determining the threshold quantity of a hazardous chemical at an isolated storage, account shall also be taken of any hazardous chemical which is:-

      1. in that part of any pipeline under the control of the occupier having control of the site, which is within 500 metres of that site and connected to it;

      2. at any other site under the control of the same occupier any part of the boundary of which is within 500 metres of the said site; and

      3. in any vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft under the control of the same occupier which is used for storage purpose either at the site or within 500 metres of it; But no account shall be taken of any hazardous chemical which is in a vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft used for transporting it.

    3. This applies to ammonium nitrate and mixtures s of ammonium nitrate where the nitrogen content derived from the ammonium nitrate is greater than 28 per cent by weight and to aqueous solutions of ammonium nitrate where the concentration of ammonium nitrate is greater than 90 per cent by weight.

    4. This applies to straight ammonium nitrate fertilizers and to compound fertilizers where the nitrogen content derived from the ammonium nitrate is greater than 28 percent by weight{ a compound -fertilizer contains ammonium nitrate together with phosphate and/or potash}.

    GROUP 5-FLAMMABLE CHEMICALS
    1. Flammable gases:
    Substances which in the gaseous state at
    normal pressure and mixed with air become
    flammable and the boiling point of which at
    normal pressure is 20 C or below; 15 t
    2. Highly flammable liquids:
    Substances which have a flash point
    lower than 23 C and the boiling point of
    which at normal pressure is above 20 C; 1000 t
    3. Flammable liquids;
    Substances which have a flash point lower
    than 65 C and which remain liquid under
    pressure, where particular processing
    conditions, such as high pressure and high
    temperature, may create major accident
    hazards. 25 t
    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    1. The quantities set-out-above relate to each installation or group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installation is not sufficient to avoid, in forseeable circumstances, any aggravation of major accident hazards. These quantities apply in any case to each group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installations is less than 500 metres.

    2. For the purpose of determining the threshold quantity of a hazardous chemical in an industrial installation, account shall also be taken of any hazardous chemicals which is:-

      1. in that part of any pipeline under the control of the occupier having control of the site, which is within 500 metres off that site and connected to it;

      2. at any other site under the control of the same occupier any part of the boundary of which is within 500 metres of the said site; and

      3. in any vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft under the control of the same occupier which is used for storage purpose either at the site or within 500 metres of it; but no account shall be taken of any hazardous chemical which is in a vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft used for transporting it.

    3. This applies to ammonium nitrate and mixtures of ammonium nitrate where the nitrogen content derived from the ammonium nitrate is greater than 28% by weight and aqueous solutions of ammonium nitrate where the concentration of ammonium nitrate is greater than 90% by weight.

    4. This applies to straight ammonium nitrate fertilizers and to compound fertilizers where the nitrogen content derived from the ammonium nitrate is greater than 28% by weight (a compound fertilizer contains ammonium nitrate together with phosphate and/or potash).
