Which specialty determines the fire hazard classification of media?

In a design institute, which department determines the fire hazard classification of materials? I’d like to ask for advice
It should be the process engineering major and the fire protection major
There are many process media that are mixtures composed of various compounds, and parameters such as the flash point and explosion limits of these components are well defined. How can one determine the fire hazard level of such combustible mixtures, so as to avoid excessive impacts on equipment layout and configuration? I’m facing several situations at the moment and would appreciate it if experts could help clarify them: 1. If a medium consists of flammable gas components belonging to categories A and B, with a low concentration of category A gases and a high concentration of category B gases, should such a medium be classified as a category A flammable gas or a category B one? 2. The gas medium consists of flammable and non-flammable gases, with a small amount of flammable components present. How can one determine whether the medium should be classified as a flammable gas, and how should the fire hazard category be determined? 3. The liquid medium consists of flammable and non-flammable liquids, with a small amount of flammable components present. How can one determine whether the medium should be classified as a flammable liquid, and how should the fire hazard category be determined? If you have any other questions, please raise them as well so we can discuss them together.
