b/ In case a hazardous chemical leaked from an incident is a flammable or explosive vapor or gas or emits a flammable or explosive vapor or gas, the quantitative limit is the weight of that vapor or gas in the air expressed as percentage (%) of volume or in mg/l, which is below the lower limit of flammable concentration or the lower explosive limit;

c/ In case of blast wave spreading from a hazardous chemical explosion, the quantitative limit is the level of air pressure surge caused by the spreading blast wave and equal to 6.9 kPa.

3. For hazardous chemicals which are both flammable or explosive and toxic, safety distances in case of incident occurrence shall be determined separately tor each hazardous property and the maximum determined value will be applicable.

4. For an establishment with many kinds of hazardous chemicals, its safety distance shall be determined separately for each kind of chemical and the maximum safety distance will be applicable.

5. For an establishment with many equipment for hazardous chemical production or storage installed in different places, its safety distance shall be determined separately for each kind of equipment. The safety distance applicable to all of these equipment must cover the specific safety distance for each equipment.

6. The Ministry of Industry and Trade shall elaborate and promulgate technical regulations on safety distances applicable to establishments producing or trading in hazardous chemicals specified in Appendix IV to this Decree.

Article 15.- Change in safety distances

2. Statistics on hazardous chemical incidents for the last five years show that the estimated safety distance is greatly different from reality.

3. In case the safety distance from a place where an equipment is installed to places or positions under protection does not satisfy the permissible quantitative limit, the hazardous chemical-producing or -storing establishment shall apply measures to assure the prescribed safety distance as specified below:

a/ Reducing the volume of produced or stored hazardous chemicals;
