Example of calculation of designated quantity (when storing and handling multiple hazardous materials)
(Example 1)
When storing 180 liters of gasoline and 800 liters of kerosene
If the result of the calculation is "1" or more, it will be more than the specified quantity, so storage and handling are "permission is required" for storage and handling.
(Example 2)
