Organizations and individuals with establishments producing or storing hazardous chemicalsspecifiedin AppendixIVto thisDecree shall determine safety distances to ensure that hazardous elements in places or positions protected by law are below quantitative limits. aJ In case a hazardouschemical leaked from an incident is a toxic vapor or gas or emits a toxic vapor or gas, the quantitative limit is the toxic chemical concentration in the air (miligram/m") at which a (.lff!'>nn exposed to that vapor or gas for up to 60 minutes does not suffer from an irrecoverable effect or an injury of a degree requiring the use of protection devices or correspondingprotectionactions; bI In case a hazardouschemical leaked from an incideos is a flammable or explosive vflpnr nr gas or emits a flammable or explosive vapor or gas, the quantitative limit is the weight of that vapor or gas in the air expressed as percentage (%) ofvolume orin mg/l, whichisbelowthelower limit of flammable concentration or the lower exnlosivelimit; cI In case of blast wave spreading from a hazardous chemical explosion, the quantitative limit is the level of air pressure surge caused by the spreadingblast wave and equal to 6.9 kPa. 2.The determinationof safety distancesmust be based on specific hydrorueteorological and topographical conditions at the locations of hazardous chemicals-producing or -storing establishments and technological conditions ofthc hazardous chemicalproductionorstoringprocess. 3. For hazardous chemicals which are both flanunab1e orexplosive andtoxic,safetydistances incaseof incidentoccurrenceshallbedetermined separately for each hazardous property and the maximum determined value will be applicable. 4. For an establishment with many kinds of hazardouschemicals, its safety distance shall be determined separately for each kind of chemical and the maximum safety distance will be applicable. 5. For anestablishmentwithmany equipment for hazardous chemical production or storage installed indifferent places,itssafety distanceshall be determined separately for each kind of equipment. The safety distance applicable to all ofthese equipmentmustcover the specificsafety distance for each equipment. 6. The Ministry of Industry and Trade shall elaborate andpromulgatetechnical regulationson safety distances applicable to establishments producing or trading in hazardous chemicals specifiedin Appendix IVto this Decree. Article 15.- Change in safety distances A safety distance must be changed as appropriatein the following cases: 1.A hazardouschemical-producing or -storing establishment makes a change in production or storingtechnologyor volumeor experiences any change leadingto a change in thesafetydistance. 2. Statistics on hazardous chemical incidents for the last five yean: show that the e'\:timatM safetydistance is greatly differentfrom reality. 3.
