Travis, There is a section in the appendix which shows milk going from a Class I to Group A plastic with the addition of plastic crates. Maybe that’s where you saw it.

There is guidance in the annex about when the definition of Class IV for the allowed amount of plastics does not apply. That being location within the load. Look at A.5.6.1.1 and Table A.5.6.3 (2013 edition) for plastic jars and more specifically Plastic Crates and note C. Note C points out that openings in the crates reduces the classification (using the non-quantified statement of - as the openings become larger).

The product is stored on racks with 12' to top of storage. Does the plastic totes cause me to increase / modify the commodity class? I swear I read something about that in the storage chapters but I can't seem to locate it. This jurisdiction is under the 2013 edition of NFPA 13.
