Where a building contains a mixture of Hazard Types 1, 3 or 4, add the quantities of the various hazard types together and treat as the lowest numbered hazard type for example treat 20 kg of Hazard Type 1 plus 30 kg of Hazard Type 3 as 50 kg of Hazard Type 1.
Where a building contains a mixture of Hazard Types 2, 3 or 4, add the quantities of the various types together and treat as the lowest numbered hazard. For example, treat 50 kg of Hazard Type 2 and 50 kg of Hazard Type 4 as 100 kg of Hazard Type 2.
Where a building contains a mixture which includes Hazard Type 1 and 2 with or without other hazard types, add the quantities of the various hazard types together and treat as Hazard Type 1 or Hazard Type 2, whichever requires the larger separation distance.
