in the analysis can be measured; however, these are only for the purpose of determining

whether further analysis should be performed. Meeting or not meeting these guidelines

should not be interpreted as indicating that preventive or mitigative actions either are or

are not required.

This standard does not include consideration of malicious acts (e.g., sabotage, terrorism,

and war). The available data on aircraft crashes do not support assessment of such acts.

Further, such acts are not unique to aircraft, nor are they initiated by failures and errors

associated with aircraft. However, the parts of this standard that address structural

response and exposure due to a release could be useful (to a limited extent) in assessing

the effects of such an assault.

Applicability. This standard is applicable to all facilities containing significant quantities of

1.3

radioactive or hazardous chemical materials. For the purposes of this standard, a facility

contains significant quantities of such material if it meets one or more of the following

conditions:

The facility contains radioactive material, and the inventory of such material would

cause the facility to be classified as a Hazard Category 1 or Hazard Category 2

facility in accordance with the criteria established by the U.S. Department of

The facility contains hazardous chemicals in quantities that make it subject to the

requirements of 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.119 (Reference 2); or

The facility contains hazardous chemicals that make it subject to the requirements

of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Risk Management Program

The conditions above specify the minimum circumstances under which this standard

should apply. However, they do not preclude applying this standard or its parts to facilities

that do not meet any of these conditions. Users are encouraged to consider whether there

are special circumstances in which a particular facility should be subject to this standard
