Frequently Asked Questions

HMEx helps you quickly, confidently, and consistently verify the accuracy of hazard classifications assigned to hazardous materials based on the International Fire and Building Code hazard classification system.

Confirming the proposed occupancy classification is critical in ensuring the proposed building design incorporates the construction features and fire and life safety systems required to mitigate the hazards presented by the materials and quantities inside.

No. Safety data sheets (SDS) do not provide hazard classifications for materials based on the International Fire Code (IFC) and International Building Code (IBC) hazard class definitions. SDSs provide classification based on the UN Globally Harmonized System (GHS) adopted by OSHA, and the US Department of Transportation (DOT) system, which addresses the hazards of transporting hazardous materials. These systems provide insight into relevant hazards, but neither provides the classification information needed for compliance with the IFC and IBC.

Because HMEx is a trusted source of hazard class information, you’ll minimize the time you spend rummaging through material safety data sheets (SDS) or technical reference manuals, looking for hard to find IFC/IBC hazard classifications. And by creating and maintaining your chemical inventory in HMEx, you’ll save the time (and frustration!) you’d otherwise spend evaluating whether inventory quantities exceed the code’s quantity limits and generating hazardous materials inventory statements (HMIS) and hazard class summary reports.

What’s more, HMEx could save you days or weeks of delay in plan review or construction permit issuance caused by submitting incomplete or inaccurate hazardous materials inventory information to code officials. Our inventory statements and summary reports are formatted to make it easy for code officials to review and approve.
