3.3.61.10.1* Class 1 Unstable (Reactive). Materials that in themselves are normally stable, but that can
become unstable at elevated temperatures and pressures.
3.3.61.10.2* Class 2 Unstable (Reactive). Materials that readily undergo violent chemical change at
elevated temperatures and pressures.
3.3.61.10.3* Class 3 Unstable (Reactive). Materials that in themselves are capable of detonation or
explosive decomposition or explosive reaction, but that require a strong initiating source or that must be
heated under confinement before initiation.
3.3.61.10.4* Class 4 Unstable (Reactive). Materials that in themselves are readily capable of detonation
or explosive decomposition or explosive reaction at normal temperatures and pressures.

Control Area
A building or portion of a building or outdoor area within which hazardous materials
are allowed to be stored, dispensed, used, or handled in quantities not exceeding
the maximum allowable quantities (MAQ).
Can have multiple control areas up to a maximum depending on the floor level
and fire resistance
Control Areas are separated by particular fire resistance-1-2 hours (includes floors,
walls to completely separate from other areas)

Protection Level
Protection Level describes a tier of building safety that exceeds the
construction requirements for control areas
The MAQ is able to be exceeded due to the increased protective
measures associated with the Protection Level provisions imposed
The Protection Level required is dependent on the Hazard Level of
the contents
Protection Level construction allows you to exceed the MAQ
