Based on the latest research, testing, and fire experience, NFPA 484: Standard for Combustible Metals updates the safety requirements for any metal that is considered a combustible metal, including aluminum, lithium, magnesium, niobium, tantalum, titanium, and zirconium.

Everyone involved with facility fire safety or fire suppression needs this essential document, which was developed in response to combustible metal fires where water was used inappropriately. NFPA 484 also includes requirements for the production, processing, finishing, handling, storage and use of all metals and alloys that are in a form capable of combustion or explosion.
