It was prepared by Technical Committee CII/63, Chemical spill control.

Its requirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is “shall”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented in smaller italic type, an

7、d does not constitute a normative element.Requirements in this standard are drafted in accordance with The BSI guide to standardization Section 2: Rules for the structure, drafting and presentation of British Standards, subclause 11.3.1, which states, “Requirements should be expressed using wording

8、such as: When tested as described in Annex A, the product shall .”. This means that only those products that are capable of passing the specified test will be deemed to conform to this standard.Contractual and legal considerationsThis publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisi

BSI 2007 1BS 7959-3:2007IntroductionThe objective of this standard is to ensure as far as possible that maximum protection is given to personnel usin

10、g sorbents, that the optimum choice of sorbent is made for protection of the environment and that correct disposal procedures are followed.Sorbent materials are available with a wide variety of chemical compositions, ranging from natural fibres to mineral granules and man-made polymers. The chemical

11、 composition can influence certain key physical properties which determine how the sorbent behaves towards particular liquids. Of these properties those with the greatest importance are: Oil selectivityThe quantities and widespread applications of oils mean that the ability of sorbent materials to t

12、ake up these liquids and reject water is important. Sorbents with this property are preferred for oils but do not work with aqueous solutions. Resistance to aggressive liquidsThe sorbent material needs to resist the liquid with which it comes into contact. Any compromise of its physical properties w

13、ould reduce its effectiveness as a sorbent and might cause handling problems and pose risks to personnel. Chemical compatibilityIt is essential that the sorbent material and liquid do not react chemically to create additional hazards.1 ScopeThis part of BS 7959 specifies a system of colour coding fo

14、r sorbent materials and their packaging which will assist users in identifying the correct material for use with a range of liquids. Type I: web type sheet, pad or roll. Type II: loose material discrete particles of variable size. Type III: filled products socks, booms, pillows, cushions. Type IV: a

15、gglomerates masses of strands for pick-up of viscous liquids.NOTE The colour coding alone is not intended to give a 100% reliable guide to the suitability of any sorbent material for use with a particular liquid. Users should in all cases consult with sorbent suppliers for full details of compatibil

16、ity and with the Material Safety Data Sheet for the liquid. Where the sorbents and liquids are to be stored on a site the user should carry out a full site survey and risk analysis before selecting sorbent materials. In particular combustible sorbents should not be used with oxidising liquids becaus

17、e of the risk of dangerous reaction on immediate or prolonged contact.BS 7959-3:20072 BSI 20072 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this part of BS 7959, the following terms and definitions apply.2.1 oil selective sorbentsorbent recommended by manufacturers or suppliers for use with oils, hydro

18、carbons and liquids which do not mix with water and which will not pick up water or aqueous solutions2.2 maintenance sorbentsorbent recommended by manufacturers or suppliers for use with most liquids which do not degrade the sorbent but which is not resistant to degradation by aggressive liquids2.3

Oil selective: white or blue. Maintenance: grey. Chemical: yellow.3.2 Material3.2

20、.1 Types I and IIIMaterials of types I and III shall be self-coloured in accordance with 3.1 over a minimum of 90% of the surface area.3.2.2 Types II and IVWhere practical, materials of types II and IV shall be self-coloured in accordance with 3.1. Where not practical, packaging shall clearly indica

21、te the colour in accordance with 3.1.3.3 PackagingNOTE All primary packaging, including spill kits, is included.3.3.1 SizeThe packaging marking shall incorporate a panel coloured in accordance with 3.1 of minimum area 10 000 mm2. This panel may be of any shape but must be of size sufficient to incor

22、porate the required wording at the size stated in 3.3.2. BSI 2007 3BS 7959-3:20073.3.2 WordingThe panel (see 3.3.1) shall be marked “OIL SELECTIVE”, “MAINTENANCE” or “CHEMICAL” as appropriate so as to be clearly legible and with a minimum character height of 10 mm. The panel shall also include the w

23、ord “SORBENT” with a minimum character height of 5 mm.The wording shall be in a contrasting colour not listed for a different category of sorbent in 3.1. NOTE The panel may also include the wording “In accordance with BS 7959-3:2006” in smaller lettering.Figure 1 Example of packaging marking for mai
