In my experience, restrictions are determined by fire codes and "zones". I would talk to your safety officer or facilities, or a local fire marshal. Jennifer

I believe they don't want more than 100-150ml of any one flammable. I don't think there is a restriction to what's stored inside one--probably depends upon the size of the cabinet.

I have read the CAP guidelines and am still confused. Do the CAP guidelines only have to do with stored reagents outside of a flammable cabinet? What am I missing?
