  35. 1 Prior to 1996, this section was titled "Reactivity". The name was changed because many people did not understand the distinction between a "reactive hazard" and the "chemical reactivity" of the material. The numeric ratings and their meanings remain unchanged.

  36. This section is used to denote special hazards. There are only two NFPA 704 approved symbols
