scope:

This standard applies to any component intended to or for use in holding (temporarily) oily waste products or similar products.

This standard also applies to portable containers used for the temporary storage of Class A combustible (wood, paper, textile, etc.) waste material free of grease, oil, solvents, or other flammable liquids. The design of these containers is intended to isolate the discarded waste from the building occupancy so that a fire within the container will not communicate to the surrounding area.

Approval of oily waste cans and/or containers for combustible waste can be tested jointly or under separate Approval programs.

Purpose

This standard states Approval requirements for cans for temporarily holding oily waste or similar materials and for containers for combustible waste.

Approval criteria may include, but are not limited to, performance requirements, marking requirements, examination of manufacturing facilities, audit of quality assurance procedures, and a follow-up program.
