Hazardous materials inventory statement worksheet.
List each hazardous material on site the way IFC Section 5001.5.2 asks: the product, its hazard classification, where it is and how much is in storage and in use. Every control area is added up against its maximum allowable quantities as you type, and the worksheet downloads as a PDF and a spreadsheet. Free from FireInspection360, the fire prevention platform built by fire inspectors.
What is on site, and is any control area over?
One row per product, with the items of 2021 IFC 5001.5.2. Up to 12 products in up to 4 control areas, added up by the same adder FireInspection360's chemical tools run. Nothing is stored: the worksheet lives in this page's address, so bookmark it or share the link.

The 2021 IFC hazard categories for a chemical from the values its safety data sheet prints, each with the sentence that decided it, its MAQ and its permit amount.
Maximum allowable quantity calculator
The maximum allowable quantity of a hazard category per control area: the table figure, the sprinkler and cabinet increases, the story share and the Group H.
Hazardous materials permit check
Whether a hazardous material needs an operational permit under 2021 IFC Section 105.5, by category, state, amount and place, and whether NFPA 704 signs follow.
An inventory statement lists every hazardous material on site, and the fire code adds it up by control area.
A fire code official can ask a business for a hazardous materials inventory statement, and many ask for one with every hazardous materials permit. Section 5001.5.2 of the International Fire Code lists what each row carries:
- Product name
- Component
- CAS number
- Location where stored or used
- Container size
- Hazard classification
- Amount in storage
- Amount in use, closed systems
- Amount in use, open systems
The statement is also where a building's maximum allowable quantities are checked. A quantity limits a hazard category in a control area, never one chemical, so every product carrying a category is added into one figure. This worksheet adds each control area up the way the tables do, and reports anything it cannot read rather than guessing. Four rules decide how the quantities add up:
- Each hazard category has its own quantity. The tables give a quantity for each hazard category and class, and each is a limit of its own: one control area may hold up to the quantity of every category at the same time, and different categories are never added together. (2021 IFC 5003.1.1 and Tables 5003.1.1(1) to (4))
- Class I flammable liquids also share one. Class IA, IB and IC flammable liquids also count together against the table's combination row, and within it no class may exceed its own quantity. (2021 IFC Table 5003.1.1(1), note h)
- Storage and use share the storage quantity. Storage, use in a closed system and use in an open system of one category are each limited on their own, and added together they may not exceed the quantity listed for storage. (2021 IFC Tables 5003.1.1(1) to (4), note b)
- A chemical with several hazards counts in each. A chemical that is more than one category, a flammable liquid that is also toxic for one, counts in full against every category it is. (2021 IFC 5001.1)
What this worksheet does not read, so a clean answer is not taken for more than it is: the conditions some of the tables' notes impose, the retail and wholesale allowances of Section 5003.11, fuel in vehicle tanks, and whether a cabinet is an approved one. The quantities are the 2021 IFC's; for another edition, the maximum allowable quantity calculator shows what changes.

In FireInspection360 a department keeps each property's chemicals on the property record, reads a product's safety data sheet into its hazard classes, and checks what it allows, from the same tables and the same adder this worksheet runs.
