Code

Statements

H220

Extremely flammable gas

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Classification of the substance or mixture

Signal word

Danger

Physical hazards

H220 Extremely flammable gas H281 Contains refrigerated gas; may cause cryogenic burns or injury

Health hazards

Not classified as a health hazard under CLP criteria

Environmental hazards

Not classified as environmental hazard according to CLP criteria

Prevention

P210 Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. P243 Take precautionary measures against static discharge. P282 Wear cold insulating gloves and either face shield or eye protection.

Response

P377 Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely. P381 Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. P336 + P315 Thaw frosted parts with lukewarm water. Do not rub affected area. Get immediate medical attention.

Storage

P403 Store in a well-ventilated place.

Disposal

No precautionary phrases.

Other hazards

The substance does not fulfill all screening criteria for persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity and hence is not considered to be PBT or vPvB

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

The substance/mixture does not contain components considered to have endocrine disrupting properties according to REACH Article 57(f) or Commission Delegated regu- lation (EU) 2017/2100 or Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/605 at levels of 0.1% or higher.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

The substance/mixture does not contain components considered to have endocrine disrupting properties according to REACH Article 57(f) or Commission Delegated regulation (EU) 2017/2100 or Vapours are heavier than air. Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/605 at levels of 0.1% or higher. Vapours may travel across the ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a flashback fire danger. Under conditions of high temperatures and humidity, vapours may dilute and become buoyant. In general these diluted vapours will be dispersed at or below the Lower Flammability Limit. High gas concentrations will displace available air; unconsciousness and death may occur sud- denly from lack of oxygen. Exposure to rapidly expanding gases may cause frost burns to eyes and/or skin.

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
