The NFPA classification of margarine in storage is Class III if oil content is below 50% and Class A if between 50% to 80%, all regardless of packaging.
Anybody knows if this is based on actual testing? Is ESFR suitable for this type of storage? In the catastrophic fire in Mont Blank tunnel fire a truck carrying margarine and flour got ignited. It was found later that in terms of HRR is would be similar to gasoline tanker (90% of). I would appreciate any info.
