CLASSIFICATION OF SUBSTANCE:
GHS CLASSIFICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH 29 CFR 1910 (OSHA HCS):
PHYSICAL, GASES UNDER PRESSURE, COMPRESSED GAS
GHS LABEL ELEMENTS, INCLUDING PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS:
GHS SIGNAL WORD: WARNING
GHS HAZARD PICTOGRAMS: GAS CYLINDER
GHS HAZARD STATEMENTS:
H280: CONTAINS GAS UNDER PRESSURE; MAY EXPLODE IF HEATED
CGA-HG24: SUPPORTS COMBUSTION.
GHS PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS:
P202:
DO NOT HANDLE UNTIL ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS HAVE BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD.
P260: DO NOT BREATHE GAS.
P403: STORE AND USE IN A WELL VENTILATED PLACE.
P309: IF EXPOSED OR IF YOU FEEL UNWELL
P340: REMOVE PERSON TO FRESH AIR AND KEEP COMFORTABLE FOR BREATHING.
CGA-PG02:
PROTECT FROM SUNLIGHT WHEN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS 52 DEG. C
(125 DEG. F).
CGA-PG06: CLOSE VALVE AFTER EACH USE AND WHEN EMPTY.
CGA-PG10: USE ONLY WITH EQUIPMENT RATED FOR CYLINDER PRESSURE.

HAZARDS NOT OTHERWISE CLASSIFIED (HNOC) OR NOT COVERED BY GHS:
ROUTE OF ENTRY: SKIN; EYES; INHALATION
TARGET ORGANS: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
INHALATION:
GAS MIXTURE CONTAINS SUFFICIENT OXYGEN TO SUPPORT LIFE. INHALATION OF HIGH
METHANE CONCENTRATIONS MAY CAUSE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION WITH
DIZZINESS, DISORIENTATION, IN-COORDINATION, NAUSEA, AND NARCOSIS. HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS MAY ALSO CAUSE CARDIAC SENSITIZATION RESULTING IN IRREGULAR
HEARTBEAT AND MAY MAKE THE INDIVIDUAL MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CARDIAC EFFECTS
OF SUBSTANCES SUCH AS EPINEPHRINE AND ADRENALINE.
SKIN CONTACT:
CONTACT WITH RAPIDLY EXPANDING GAS NEAR THE POINT OF RELEASE MAY CAUSE
FROSTBITE WITH REDNESS, SKIN COLOR CHANGE TO GRAY OR WHITE, AND BLISTERING.
EYE CONTACT:
CONTACT WITH RAPIDLY EXPANDING GAS NEAR THE POINT OF RELEASE MAY CAUSE
FROSTBITE.
INGESTION: NOT ANTICIPATED. PRODUCT IS A GAS AT NORMAL CONDITIONS.
| 3 COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS | |
CHEMICAL INGREDIENTS:
CAS# % CHEMICAL NAME
74-82-8 0.0001 - 3.0% METHANE
7782-44-7 20.9% OXYGEN
7727-37-9 76.1 - 79.0999% NITROGEN
AIR BALANCE = 20.9% OXYGEN IN NITROGEN
| 4 FIRST AID MEASURES | |
INHALATION:
PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE TO
PRODUCT. RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS. CONSCIOUS PERSONS SHOULD BE ASSISTED TO AN UNCONTAMINATED AREA
AND INHALE FRESH AIR. QUICK REMOVAL FROM THE CONTAMINATED AREA IS MOST
IMPORTANT. UNCONSCIOUS PERSONS SHOULD BE MOVED TO AN UNCONTAMINATED AREA,
GIVEN ASSISTED (ARTIFICIAL) RESPIRATION AND SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN. FURTHER
TREATMENT SHOULD BE SYMPTOMATIC AND SUPPORTIVE.
SKIN CONTACT:
NONE REQUIRED FOR GAS. FOR FROSTBITE, IMMERSE SKIN IN LUKEWARM WATER. DO
NOT USE HOT WATER. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYE CONTACT:
NONE REQUIRED FOR GAS. IF FROSTBITE IS SUSPECTED, FLUSH EYES WITH COOL
WATER FOR 15 MINUTES AND OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION: NOT A DIRECT HAZARD.
| 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
FLAMMABILITY: NOT FLAMMABLE
FLASH POINT: NONE
FLASH POINT METHOD: NOT APPLICABLE
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: NONE
LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: 5.0% (METHANE)
UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: 15.0% (METHANE)
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
NONFLAMMABLE. CYLINDERS MAY RUPTURE VIOLENTLY OR VENT RAPIDLY FROM PRESSURE
WHEN INVOLVED IN A FIRE SITUATION.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
NONE REQUIRED. USE AS APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING MATERIALS
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL ADJACENT CYLINDERS AND AREAS. FIREFIGHTERS SHOULD
WEAR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SCBA) AND FULL TURNOUT OR BUNKER GEAR.
CONTINUE TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED CYLINDERS UNTIL WELL AFTER FLAMES ARE
EXTINGUISHED.
| 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM AFFECTED AREA. USE APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT. IF LEAK IS IN USER'S EQUIPMENT, BE CERTAIN TO PURGE PIPING WITH
INERT GAS PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING REPAIRS. IF LEAK IS IN CONTAINER OR VALVE,
CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER LISTED IN SECTION 1, OR
CALL YOUR CLOSEST NORCO/NORLAB LOCATION.
| 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS:
USE ONLY IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. VALVE PROTECTION CAPS MUST REMAIN IN
PLACE UNLESS THE CYLINDER IS SECURED WITH VALVE OUTLET PIPED TO USE POINT.
DO NOT DRAG, SLIDE OR ROLL CYLINDERS. USE A SUITABLE HAND TRUCK FOR
CYLINDER MOVEMENT. USE A PRESSURE REGULATOR WHEN CONNECTING CYLINDER TO
LOWER PRESSURE (<3000 PSIG) PIPING OR SYSTEMS. DO NOT HEAT CYLINDER BY ANY
MEANS TO INCREASE THE DISCHARGE RATE OF PRODUCT FROM THE CYLINDER. USE A
CHECK VALVE OR TRAP IN THE DISCHARGE LINE TO PREVENT HAZARDOUS BACKFLOW
INTO THE CYLINDER.
FOR ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS, CONSULT COMPRESSED GAS ASSOCIATION
PAMPHLETS P-1.
NEVER CARRY A COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDER OR A CONTAINER OF A GAS IN CRYOGENIC
LIQUID FROM IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE SUCH AS A CAR TRUNK, VAN OR STATION WAGON.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
PROTECT CYLINDERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE. STORE IN COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED
AREA AWAY FROM HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS AND EMERGENCY EXITS. DO NOT ALLOW THE
TEMPERATURE WHERE CYLINDERS ARE STORED TO EXCEED 125 DEGREES F
(52 DEGREES C). CYLINDERS SHOULD BE STORED UPRIGHT AND FIRMLY SECURED TO
PREVENT FALLING OR BEING KNOCKED OVER. FULL AND EMPTY CYLINDERS SHOULD BE
SEGREGATED. USE A "FIRST IN-FIRST OUT" INVENTORY SYSTEM TO PREVENT FULL
CYLINDERS FROM BEING STORED FOR EXCESSIVE PERIODS OF TIME.
