There can be very different technical and documentation requirements for the active and passive storage of flammable liquids. How will you store your chemicals? It is best to determine how substances will be stored before setting up your work stations or your laboratory. The following overview highlights some important aspects to consider with regard to active and passive storage.

Active storage

• Flammable liquids are stored in open or unsealed containers.

• Chemicals are filled or transferred in or on the safety storage cabinet.

• Your safety storage cabinet is actively connected to your processes. It is a storage location – and also a workplace.

Passive storage

• Liquids or solids are stored in sealed containers.

• No filling or transferring takes place in or on the cabinet.

• Your safety storage cabinet acts only as a storage location.
