NFPA 704 diamond documentation

This template produces a NFPA 704 fire diamond with optionally four hazard codes. It is designed to be used in a table. Outside of a wikitable, showing is not controlled.

Primary use is through {{Chembox}}, the {{NFPA 704}} box and {{OrganicBox complete}} (chemical data pages).

Input options

Main rule: if the quarter must be blank, input is the hyphen, -. Do not depend on default behavior in this situation.

NFPA 704 four-colored diamondFlammability code 0: Will not burn. E.g., waterHealth code 0: Exposure under fire conditions would offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible material.

E.g., canola oilHealth code 1: Exposure would cause irritation but only minor residual injury. E.g., turpentineReactivity code 1: Normally stable, but can become unstable at elevated temperatures and pressures. E.g., calciumSpecial hazards (white): no code

NFPA 704 four-colored diamondFlammability code 2: Must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high ambient temperature before ignition can occur. Flash point between 38 and 93 °C (100 and 200 °F). E.g., diesel fuelHealth code 2: Intense or continued but not chronic exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury. E.g., chloroformReactivity code 2: Undergoes violent chemical change at elevated temperatures and pressures, reacts violently with water, or may form explosive mixtures with water. E.g., phosphorusSpecial hazards (white): no code

NFPA 704 four-colored diamondFlammability code 3: Liquids and solids that can be ignited under almost all ambient temperature conditions. Flash point between 23 and 38 °C (73 and 100 °F). E.g., gasolineHealth code 3: Short exposure could cause serious temporary or residual injury. E.g., chlorine gasReactivity code 3: Capable of detonation or explosive decomposition but requires a strong initiating source, must be heated under confinement before initiation, reacts explosively with water, or will detonate if severely shocked. E.g., fluorineSpecial hazards (white): no code

NFPA 704 four-colored diamondFlammability code 4: Will rapidly or completely vaporize at normal atmospheric pressure and temperature, or is readily dispersed in air and will burn readily. Flash point below 23 °C (73 °F). E.g., propaneHealth code 4: Very short exposure could cause death or major residual injury. E.g., VX gasReactivity code 4: Readily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition at normal temperatures and pressures. E.g., nitroglycerinSpecial hazards (white): no code

Parameters |F=, |H=, |R= accept codes 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, -. Code - (hyphen) produces a blank ("no hazard code").

A blank can be set (enforced) by entering =-, a hyphen. This is the preferred way to reflect what the source states (don't depend on the default blank in this situation).

Default code (blank)

edit
= <blank>
NFPA 704 four-colored diamondFlammability (red): no hazard codeHealth (blue): no hazard codeReactivity (yellow): no hazard codeSpecial hazards (white): no code

All four codes default to blank, that is: no NFPA code is present or shown. There is no specific text (just a link to the NFPA color section). Note that a blank is not the same as code "0". Code "0" is an explicit statement, while a blank is the absence of any statement.

A blank can also be enforced by entering =- (hyphen). This is the preferred way to reflect what the source states (do not depend on default).

From the input, spaces and even newlines (all whitespace) are treated as blank. Note that =&nbsp; code produces an error, but entering the nbsp character (>= <) is accepted as a space (blank).

For W enter |S=W.

For W OX enter |S=W+OX, |S=W OX or |S=WOX.

The "Special" quarter is sometimes called "Other".

Unknown codes (error)

edit

The diamond template checks for unknown codes.

Articles with unknown codes are listed for maintenance (correction) in Category:Articles with unknown NFPA 704 code. Other pages (like this documentation) are not categorized, but have a message instead. This categorizing can be switched off by setting |cat=no

Note that =&nbsp; code produces an error, but entering the nbsp character (= ) is accepted as a space (blank).

Adding references

edit

References can be added using |ref=.

|ref=<ref>{{cite web|url=http://chemlabs.uoregon.edu/Safety/NFPA_White.html|title=More on white codes}}</ref>

The <ref> ... </ref> tags should be added. Multiple references can be entered. Depending on cell width, the links show above or next to the diamond. While technically possible to enter plain text, this is not supported (and this could be disallowed in the future).

Better not to use RGB colors named red, blue, yellow, because these produce a bad contrast with the text.
