Specific methods : Use fire control measures appropriate for the surrounding fire. Exposure to fire and heat
radiation may cause gas receptacles to rupture. Cool endangered receptacles with water spray
jet from a protected position. Prevent water used in emergency cases from entering sewers and
drainage systems.
If possible, stop flow of product.
Use water spray or fog to knock down fire fumes if possible.
Move containers away from the fire area if this can be done without risk.
Special protective equipment for fire fighters : Wear gas tight chemically protective clothing in combination with self contained breathing
apparatus.
Standard EN 943-2: Protective clothing against liquid and gaseous chemicals, aerosols and
solid particles. Gas-tight chemical protective suits for emergency teams.
Standard EN 137 - Self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus with full
face mask.
Safe use of the product : The product must be handled in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
procedures.

Ensure the complete gas system was (or is regularily) checked for leaks before use.
Do not smoke while handling product.
Avoid exposure, obtain special instructions before use.
Avoid contact with aluminium.
Keep equipment free from oil and grease.
Use no oil or grease.
Use only properly specified equipment which is suitable for this product, its supply pressure and
temperature. Contact your gas supplier if in doubt.
Installation of a cross purge assembly between the cylinder and the regulator is recommended.
Purge system with dry inert gas (e.g. helium or nitrogen) before gas is introduced and when
system is placed out of service.
Avoid suck back of water, acid and alkalis.
Do not breathe gas.
Avoid release of product into atmosphere.
Safe handling of the gas receptacle : Refer to supplier's container handling instructions.
Do not allow backfeed into the container.
Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop.
When moving cylinders, even for short distances, use a cart (trolley, hand truck, etc.) designed
to transport cylinders.
Leave valve protection caps in place until the container has been secured against either a wall
or bench or placed in a container stand and is ready for use.
If user experiences any difficulty operating cylinder valve discontinue use and contact supplier.
Never attempt to repair or modify container valves or safety relief devices.
Damaged valves should be reported immediately to the supplier.
Keep container valve outlets clean and free from contaminants particularly oil and water.
Replace valve outlet caps or plugs and container caps where supplied as soon as container is
disconnected from equipment.
Close container valve after each use and when empty, even if still connected to equipment.
Never attempt to transfer gases from one cylinder/container to another.
Never use direct flame or electrical heating devices to raise the pressure of a container.
Do not remove or deface labels provided by the supplier for the identification of the cylinder
contents.
Suck back of water into the container must be prevented.
Open valve slowly to avoid pressure shock.
: None.
