Compressed Gases: Notes: Legend

The document outlines guidelines for segregating different classes of chemicals. It divides chemicals into categories such as compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizing substances, toxic substances, and corrosive substances. It notes that chemicals of the same class should be compatible but chemicals of different classes could be incompatible or react dangerously, so segregation may be necessary according to individual chemical properties. The legend provides additional guidance on segregation distances and requirements.
