Predefined storage classes reduce typing errors and make analysis and plausibility checks possible.
Storage class
Manage storage classes according to TRGS 510
Storage classes are an important part of storage organization. They help evaluate hazardous substances in stock and review combined storage more structurally.
Detection from safety data sheets
Many SDS documents mention the storage class in section 7.2, for example "Storage class (TRGS 510): 12". Such patterns can be detected and shown as suggestions.
Make combined storage visible
When storage class and stock are known, critical combinations can be marked in storage and explained.
Working basis
Record a storage class reliably
- Find the value in Section 7.2 of the current safety data sheet.
- Check the detected value against the wording and context of the document.
- Consider storage class together with quantity, packaging and other substance properties.
- Treat compatibility notices as a review need and assess them against the current TRGS 510.
Practical example
Example: “Storage class (TRGS 510): 12”
The value is suggested as LGK 12. Before acceptance, it is checked against the product and current SDS. For storage planning, LGK 12 remains one factor among quantity, storage type and neighbouring substances.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short answers for teams that want to structure hazardous substances documentation more clearly.
Why is the storage class important for stock lists?
It helps evaluate storage areas and detect potential combined-storage conflicts faster.
Can the storage class be detected automatically?
In many cases yes, when the safety data sheet states it clearly. A professional review is still useful.
