9、nd Use4.1 This practice provides requirements for the handling,transportation, and storage of HFC236fa encountered indistribution through both commercial and military channels. Itis intended to ensure that HFC-236fa is handled, transported,and stored in such a way its physical properties are notdegr

10、aded. Transport may be by various means, such as, but notlimited to, highway, rail, water, and air.5. Practice5.1 Personnel shall be trained in Title 49 CFR, Part 172,Subpart H, to ensure safe handling, loading, unloading, stor-age, and transportation of material.5.2 Handling:5.2.1 Handling shall be

11、 in accordance with CGA Publica-tion No. P-1, Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Contain-ers.5.2.1.1 Personnel who handle or store, or both, cylinders ofHFC-236fa shall be trained properly to recognize and identifythe characteristics of the product and the proper methods ofsafely handling full, pa
