Hazardous substances and
designated inflammable goods
We will provide warehousing services for chemicals that require special care.
In general, these are substances that have high ignition capability or inflammability or can accelerate inflammation when mixed with other substances. These materials are classified into Category 1 to 6 Hazardous Substances and designated inflammable goods (including liquids and solids) according to their chemical properties and states according to the Fire Service Act of Japan.
