NFPA 704 is a standard maintained by the National Fire Protection Association.
It defines the "fire diamond", used by emergency personnel to quickly and easily identify the risks posed by nearby hazardous materials.
This is necessary to determine what, if any, particular equipiment and/or risks/procedures must be taken (e.g., calling a HAZMAT cleanup crew).
NFPA (889 words)
The mission of the international nonprofit organization is to reduce the burden of fire on the quality of life by advocating scientifically-based consensus codes and standards, research, and education for fire and related safety issues.
The lifeblood of NFPA is its consensus standards-making system, which produces the National Fire Codes, 275 codes and standards covering all areas of fire safety and used in nearly every country in the world.
NFPA 704 provides a simple, easy to recognize and understand system of markings that provides information regarding the hazards of a material and the severity of these hazards as they relate to handling, fire prevention, exposure and control.
