NFPA 704 - A Quick Overview
What is NFPA 704?
NFPA 704 is the standard that is intended to provide a simple, readily recognized, and easily understood system of markings. These markings will provide a general idea of the hazards of a material and the severity of these hazards as they relate to emergency response.
In more specific terms the objectives of the system are to:
- To provide an appropriate signal or alert and on-the-spot information to safeguard the lives of both public and private emergency response personnel
- To assist in planning for effective fire and emergency control operations, including cleanup
- To assist all designated personnel, engineers, and plant and safety personnel in evaluating hazards
The system shall also enable fire-fighting, emergency, and other personnel to easily decide whether to evacuate the area or to commence emergency control procedures. It shall also assist those personnel in selecting fire-fighting tactics and emergency procedures.
Where do I need to post NFPA 704 signs?
Signs shall be in locations approved by the authority having jurisdiction and as a minimum shall be posted at the following locations:
- Two exterior walls or enclosures containing a means of access to a building or facility
- Each access to a room or area
- Each principal means of access to an exterior storage area
What do the colors and ratings in each diamond mean?
|
Blue - Health Hazard Rating This relates to the capability of a material to cause personal injury due to contact with or entry into the body via inhalation, skin contact, eye contact, or ingestion. All ratings are determined under emergency conditions. |
|
| 4 | Materials that can be lethal |
| 3 | Materials that can cause serious or permanent injury |
| 2 | Materials that can cause temporary incapacitation or residual injury |
| 1 | Materials that can cause significant irritation |
| 0 | Materials that would offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible material |
|
Red - Flammability Hazard Rating This relates to the degree of susceptibility of materials to burning. |
|
| 4 | Materials that rapidly or completely vaporize at atmospheric pressure and normal ambient temperature or that are readily dispersed in air and burn readily |
| 3 | Liquids and solids (including finely divided suspended solids) that can be ignited under almost all ambient temperature conditions |
| 2 | Materials that must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high ambient temperatures before ignition can occur |
| 1 | Materials that must be preheated before ignition can occur |
| 0 | Materials that will not burn under typical fire conditions |
|
Yellow - Instability Hazard Rating This relates to the degree of hazard due to reaction with ambient air, light, or both, and the degree of intrinsic susceptibility of materials to release energy by self-reaction or polymerization. |
|
| 4 | Materials that in themselves are readily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition or explosive reaction at normal temperatures and pressures |
| 3 | Materials that in themselves are capable of detonation or explosive decomposition or explosive reaction, but require a strong initiating source or must be heated under confinement before initiation |
| 2 | Materials that readily undergo violent chemical change at elevated temperatures and pressures |
| 1 | Materials that in themselves are normally stable, but which can become unstable at elevated temperatures and pressures |
| 0 | Material that in themselves are normally stable, even under fire conditions |
|
White - Special Hazards This area of the diamond shall address water reactivity and oxidizing properties of the materials that cause special problems or require special fire-fighting techniques. |
|
| OX | Material possesses oxidizing properties |
|
Material that reacts violently or explosively with water |
| SA | Material is a simple asphyxiant |
|
Non-Standard Special Hazard Symbols These special hazard symbols and others are not part of the NFPA 704 standard, but may be used if permitted by the authority having jurisdiction. |
|
| ACID | Material is an acid |
| ALK | Material is a base (alkali) |
| COR | Material is corrosive |
| CRY | Material is cryogenic |
| POI | Material that is poisonous |
 |
Material is radioactive |

NFPA 704, the Standard System for the Identification of the Hazards of Materials for Emergency Response, outlines minimum text size requirements to ensure that NFPA 704 signs remain legible at long distances in order to keep emergency personnel safe. In addition to the viewing distance specifications, the standard also provides dimensions of each hazard rating number as it relates to the hazard rating quadrant surrounding it.
It is the responsibility of the end user to determine the viewing distance, and the correct size NFPA 704 sign necessary to alert emergency personnel at a safe distance. According to the NFPA 704 Standard, a ratio of 25 feet of viewing distance per inch of text should be used to determine the minimum text size required up to 100 feet. From 100 to 200 feet, a ratio of 100 feet per inch of text should be used, and from 200 to 300 feet, a ratio of 50 feet per inch of text should be used. The NFPA 704 Standard does not distinguish between favorable or unfavorable viewing conditions.

Using the latest printing processes, your NFPA Diamond 2-4-0 is printed without set-up charges or minimums. Advanced processes like these also reduce set-up times, helping to get your NFPA diamonds shipped out faster than ever. SafetySign.com prints your text and graphics straight onto the substrate without the need for lamination, meaning that your NFPA Diamond 2-4-0 will not peel, unlike signs from companies that laminate graphics over the sign material.
Printing Methods
Cross-Hatch Ink Adhesion Test
SafetySign.com’s advanced printing process undergoes a stringent cross-hatching test. This specifically tests the adhesion and resistance to separation of the inks from the sign. In testing, a sample from the printing process is scored and covered in adhesive tape. The tape is removed and the sample assessed for adhesion quality.
We use a three-stage process to test all of our printing processes. We print our signs using only the processes that pass all three stages, giving you the highest quality signage possible.
Fonts
The text is printed in Swis721 BlkCn BT font.
The NFPA Diamond 2-4-0 from SafetySign.com uses this font because it is legible, and makes the message stand out and command your attention.
