Storage Groups

Segregate toxic substances according to Stanford's Compatible Storage Group classification system:

  • A: Compatible Organic Bases, Flammables, and Poisons
  • B: Compatible Pyrophoric and Water Reactive Materials
  • C: Compatible Inorganic Bases, Oxidizers, and Poisons
  • D: Compatible Organic Acids, Flammables, and Poisons
  • E: Compatible Oxidizers, Organic Peroxides and Acids
  • F: Compatible Inorganic Acids not including Oxidizing or Organic Acids
  • G: Non Reactive Materials
  • H: Flammable and Pyrophoric Compressed Gases
  • I: Compatible Corrosive and Oxidizing Gases and Inert Gases
  • J: Poison Compressed Gases, not Flammable or Reactive
  • K: Compatible Explosive or other highly Unstable Material
  • L: Non-Reactive Flammable and Combustible, including solvents
  • X: Incompatible with all other storage groups
  • U: Storage Group unknown, no data available

Note: These storage groups are used for solids, liquids, and gases. Stock rooms should be well marked and ventilated by their own local exhaust systems.

Questions? Call EH & S Hazardous Materials at 725-1472.

These Storage Groups (except for X and K) can be stored on the same shelf or within the same cabinet if each Group is segregated by secondary containment:

A, B, D, G, L

C, E, F, G

K, X = Store Separately
