Reactivity in case of fire : No reactivity hazard other than the effects described in sub-sections below.

5.3. Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters

Special protective equipment for fire : In confined space use self-contained breathing apparatus. Standard protective clothing and equipment
fighters (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) for fire fighters. Standard EN 469 - Protective clothing for
firefighters. Standard - EN 659: Protective gloves for firefighters. Standard EN 137 - Self-contained
open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus with full face mask.
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.

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Safe handling of the gas receptacle : Refer to supplier's container handling instructions. Do not allow backfeed into the container. Protect
containers 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 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
content of the container. Suck back of water into the container must be prevented. Open valve slowly to
avoid pressure shock.
Safe use of the product : Do not breathe gas. Avoid release of product into work area. The product must be handled in
accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures. Only experienced and properly
instructed persons should handle gases under pressure. Consider pressure relief device(s) in gas
installations. Ensure the complete gas system was (or is regularily) checked for leaks before use. Do not
smoke while handling product. Use only properly specified equipment which is suitable for this product,
its supply pressure and temperature. Contact your gas supplier if in doubt. Avoid suck back of water,
acid and alkalis.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Conditions for safe storage, including : Observe all regulations and local requirements regarding storage of containers. Containers should not
any incompatibilities be stored in conditions likely to encourage corrosion. Container valve guards or caps should be in place.
Containers should be stored in the vertical position and properly secured to prevent them from falling
over. Stored containers should be periodically checked for general condition and leakage. Keep
container below 50°C in a well ventilated place. Store containers in location free from fire risk and away
from sources of heat and ignition. Keep away from combustible materials.

SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection

checked for leakages. Oxygen detectors should be used when asphyxiating gases may be released.
Consider the use of a work permit system e.g. for maintenance activities.

8.4. Personal protective equipment

Wear safety shoes while handling containers.

Wear safety shoes while handling containers. Standard EN ISO 20345 - Personal protective equipment - Safety footwear.
