National Fire Protection Association 30 (NFPA 30) is a code of guidelines for the use, storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids.

 The long-awaited 2013 revision of NFPA 654, Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing, Processing, and Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids, has arrived. This revision was issued by the Standards Council and became effective on June 18, 2012. 

Whether through negligence or simply ignorance of proper and safe operating practices, hundreds — perhaps thousands, depending on scale — of accidents occur annually in industrial facilities, ranging from small chemical leaks to conflagrations like the recent West, Texas, fertilizer plant explosion.

With multi-spectrum infrared technology, Model X3302 meets each requirement of IEC 61508 and SIL 2 capability.
