The "no water" symbol means that the hazardous substance will have an adverse reaction to contact with water including possible fire, explosion, release of toxic or corrosive fumes or liquids, release or spread of flammables, or other hazards.
The NFPA 704 diamond is a ring of smaller diamonds that are blue, red, yellow and white. A number or symbol in each section indicates the relative danger.
The NFPA 704 symbol for acetylene is a blue diamond with a white flame symbol on top, a red health hazard rating of 4 (extreme), a blue flammability rating of 4 (extreme), and a yellow reactivity rating of 0 (stable).
Health (Blue): 1 Flammability (Red): 2 Reactivity (Yellow): 0 Special (White): None
The NFPA 704 symbol is red, blue, yellow and white. Red code is "flammability" Blue code is "health" danger Yellow code is "instability" White is for "special hazards" such as "do not wet" and "oxidizer"
The flammable sign was standardized by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the late 1940s. The NFPA developed a system of labeling flammable materials with a red diamond symbol to alert people to the fire hazard.
Cyclohexane does not have a specific NFPA diamond classification since it is not considered a hazardous material under the NFPA 704 standard.
Health(Blue) = 2 Flammability(Red) = 0 Reactivity(Yellow) = 2 Specials(White) = OX (Oxidizing agent)
The NPFA mark is used for materials that can ignite.
The number 4 on the NFPA 704 placard indicates the highest hazard in any of the three categories (health, fire, reactivity).
NFPA 25: Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems
