While I appreciate Rick's point, it leaves me wondering if dog/cat food is really combustible. By definition Class III is defined as a product that is fashioned from wood, paper, natural fibers or Group A plastics. I personally am leaning towards Class II IF dog/cat food is a noncombustible product. It is not fashioned from wood, paper, natural fibers or plastics. Granted it is stored in combustible packaging and on wood pallets, but that acceptable in Class II.

Class 1 - noncombustible (doesn't burn) stuff like metal and glass Class 2 - Class 1 in a wooden crate where the box will burn Class 3 - combustible stuff like paper and wood Class 4 - Class 1, 2, or 3 with "appreciable" amount of plastic by elimination, I would say dog/cat food is Class 3 ... unless you consider the plastic toy at the bottom of the bag ...oops, I was thinking of my breakfast cereal. also, if using plastic pallets instead of wooden pallets, then raise the class one level. rick matsuda, city of dallas >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/15/07 09:54AM >>> Forum, I could use a little input on determining the commodity classification for dog/cat food. It is packed in various bag sizes and palletized in various configurations. I am looking for input on the classification i.e. I, II, III or IV. Any advice?
