Safe Guidelines for choosing secondary containment: various governmental codes refers to safe standards for secondary spill control, including the UFC, IFC and EPA.

• The EPA requires that secondary containment to have sufficient capacity to contain at least:
• 10% of the total volume of containers, or
• 100% of the volume of the largest container
  (whichever is greater)
• For maximum safety when storing multiple containers, the secondary containment should ideally be sized to contain at least 10% more than the volume of the largest container.
• Some local or state regulations require more stringent containment capacities, so it's also important to check your local requirements.
