FAQ

Passive storage is the storage of flammable liquids in containers that are securely sealed and that are not filled or disposed of in the store or opened for any other purposes.

Active storage is the storage of flammable liquids in non-stationary vessels that are used at their storage location as stationary removal or collection containers or opened for other purposes.

If filling or transfer is carried out on the safety storage cabinet (= active storage), operation without an industrial exhaust system is not permissible. For storage of sealed containers (passive storage), operation without an industrial exhaust system is permitted provided the following requirements for the containers to be stored are satisfied:

    The containers stored must be sealed tightly.
    They must be inspected regularly for leaks.
    Opening of the containers must not be possible.

This must be documented in the explosion protection document, and the resulting ex-zones around the safety storage cabinet must be maintained:

  • If a safety storage cabinet does not have industrial ventilation, the interior may pose an explosion hazard and is thus classified as ex-zone 2. The area around the safety storage cabinet is not an ex-zone.
  • However, if any of the aforementioned conditions regarding containers is not satisfied, the interior of the safety storage cabinet is classified as ex-zone 1 and the surrounding area to a distance of at least 2.5 m from the cabinet and up to a height of at least 0.5 m above the floor is classified as a potentially explosive area, i.e. ex-zone 2.
  • In working spaces with industrial ventilation with at least a five-fold air exchange per hour, the potentially explosive area of zone 2 can be reduced to 1 m in front of the safety storage cabinet, 0.5 m on either side of the cabinet and a height of 0.3 m above the floor.

For passive storage, operation with an industrial exhaust system with a minimum of 10-fold continuous air exchange per hour is therefore advisable. In this case, no ex-zones are assigned to the cabinet.

The air exchange rate is specified by the operator as part of the risk assessment for the workplace. Generally accepted values can be used as the basis for determining the rate:

For passive storage of flammable liquids, at least a 10-fold air exchange per hour is recommended to avoid the formation of an ex-zone. A higher rate of air exchange may be necessary to reduce odours.

For active storage of flammable liquids, the safety storage cabinet must be operated with an air exchange rate of at least 21 m³/h and the ventilation function must be monitored.

Flammable gases should be stored with at least a 10-fold air exchange per hour, and toxic gases with at least a 120-fold air exchange per hour.

Safety storage cabinets without industrial ventilation and safety storage cabinets for active storage must be earthed by equipotential bonding to avoid ignition hazards.
