I'm very new to HPR and I'm wondering where can I find the guidelines for storing HPR rocket engines at home. I'm guessing it's somewhere on the NFPA site.

Are all HPR engines considered dangerous to store in one's home?
 
If you are new then you don't need to be concerned with the storage of a L, M or larger. You won't be flying them for a while. Enjoy the walk, don't run through the hobby.
 
Okay, thank you, it sounds like L1 motors (H, I) don't come with regulatory constraints for home storage. I'm not sure if I'll ever get to the L or M level.
 
NFPA 1127 has storage requirements. (Even if your jurisdiction hasn't included this in its code, it is still good practice.) Closed non-combustible container kept away from open flames and heat sources. Assuming the motor/reload is exempt from ATF requirements. Which is currently the case since no one makes BP motors with over 62.5gm of propellant.
