MH/T 1073-2020 in English

Analysis of core requirements of the standard

Key technical points

The standard clearly requires that storage places should be equipped with explosion-proof ventilation systems and automatic alarm devices, and radiation monitoring equipment should be additionally installed for the storage of radioactive materials. The distance between buildings should be determined by the hazard index method, and explosive storage warehouses must meet the minimum isolation distance of 2.0m.

Implementation recommendations

1. Establish a three-dimensional electronic ledger system to achieve real-time location tracking of hazardous materials
2. Carry out isolation storage drills every quarter, focusing on verifying the isolation matrix in Appendix A
3. Configure anti-corrosion fire-fighting equipment to prevent secondary reactions caused by leakage of acid and alkali substances

Standard evolution analysis

Compared with the old version, the 2020 version adds major hazard source identification requirements (refer to GB18218), strengthens the disposal process of unmanned hazardous materials, and aligns the lithium battery storage specifications with the ICAO 2021-2022 version of TI.
