27、IN EN 1089-3:2011-10 EN 1089-3:2011 (E) 4 Introduction The labelling of gas cylinders as required by the RID/ADR- Regulations is the primary method of indicating dangers of cylinder contents. However, colour coding is used to identify the contents of gas cylinders from a distance, e.g. in case of a
28、fire. It is recognized that other systems are in use and may be used in conjunction with the requirements of this European Standard. This European standard, along with EN ISO 13769, EN ISO 21007-1 and EN ISO 21007-2 belongs to a series of European Standards specifying gas cylinder identification req
29、uirements. NOTE Labelling and marking of gas cylinders is subject to provisions of RID/ADR which take precedence over marking clauses in this standard. DIN EN 1089-3:2011-10 EN 1089-3:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a colour coding system for the secondary method of identificatio
30、n of the contents of gas cylinders for industrial gases, breathing gas application and gases for medical use with particular reference to the properties of the gas or gas mixture. This European Standard does not apply to cylinders containing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), to refrigerant gases, to po
31、rtable fire extinguishers or stationary cylinder extinguishing. Bundle colour coding is not addressed by this or other standards. NOTE LPG includes substances carried under the UN number 1965 “Hydrocarbon gas mixture, liquefied, N.O.S.“ 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are i

37、011 (E) 6 3.6 body cylindrical part of a gas cylinder 4 Symbols and abbreviations For the purposes of this document, the following symbols apply. 4.1 N.O.S. not otherwise specified 5 Principle Colour coding is used to give information about the contents of gas cylinders from a distance e.g. in case
38、of emergency and to distinguish between cylinders used for industrial and medical uses. For all applications, hazard/identification colours shall be applied to cylinder shoulders. For gases for medical use, the body of the cylinder shall also be colour coded (see 6.3). For applications other than me
39、dical, the cylinder body may be coloured. The use of a colour for the cylinder body that allows misinterpretation of the hazard of the gas is not allowed. Colours used shall be in accordance with RAL register 840HR given in Annex A or equivalent. 6 Colour coding system 6.1 General The following colo
40、ur coding requirements are applicable to the shoulder and the body of the cylinder. 6.2 Shoulder 6.2.1 General Gas cylinders are assigned colours using three methods. Colours are chosen based on the properties of the contents in accordance with the hazard of the gas filled in the cylinder (6.2.2). S
41、ome specific gases and gas mixtures are assigned colours relevant to that gas or gas mixture as noted in 6.2.3 and 6.2.6. Instead of the hazard colour, other colour(s) may be assigned based on the components of a gas mixture (6.2.3 or 6.2.4 or 6.2.5). Annex D gives guidance for the selection of shou
42、lder colours. 6.2.2 Gas properties 6.2.2.1 Unless specifically identified in 6.2.3, 6.2.4, 6.2.5 or 6.2.6, all gases and gas mixtures shall be identified by a colour coding indicating the properties of the contents in accordance with the colour of the danger labels as specified in RID/ADR. When two
43、colours are applied to the cylinder shoulder, they should be in one of the formats (bands or quadrants) identified in Annex B. DIN EN 1089-3:2011-10 EN 1089-3:2011 (E) 7 The property shall be classified in a descending order of hazard as follows: 6.2.2.2 For gases with a single danger: a) toxic and/
44、or corrosive (in accordance with ISO 10298 and ISO 13338) yellow; b) flammable (in accordance with EN ISO 10156) red; c) oxidizing (in accordance with EN ISO 10156) light blue; d) inert1) bright green. The colour BRIGHT GREEN shall not be used for air for medical use or breathing application (see 6.
45、2.5). 6.2.2.3 For gases with more than one danger: When a gas or mixture has two hazard properties, then the cylinder shoulder shall be coloured in accordance with the primary hazard. The colour of the secondary hazard (flammable or oxidizing) may also be applied to the cylinder shoulder: a) toxic (
46、and/or corrosive) and flammable yellow plus red; b) toxic (and/or corrosive) and oxidizing yellow plus light blue. 6.2.3 Specific single gases 6.2.3.1 The following gases shall be identified by specific colours rather than the colour system defined in 6.2.2. a) Flammable gases: Acetylene Maroon. b)
47、Oxidizing gases: Oxygen White; Nitrous oxide Blue. 6.2.3.2 Inert gases for medical application shall be further differentiated by use of the following colours: a) Argon Dark green; b) Nitrogen Black; c) Carbon dioxide Grey; d) Helium Brown. Specific colours of single gases described above are identi
48、cal to ISO 32. These colours may also be used for applications other than medical instead of the bright green colour (inert) as indicated in 6.2.2. 1) in accordance with 3.2 DIN EN 1089-3:2011-10 EN 1089-3:2011 (E) 8 NOTE Inert gases for medical use are also differentiated from industrial use by the
49、 colouration of the gas cylinder body, white for medical use (see 6.3). 6.2.4 Mixtures of inert gases Instead of the hazard colour as indicated in 6.2.2, combinations of colours (maximum two, see Annex D) of the specific component gases listed in 6.2.3.2 may be used to identify the cylinder contents. 6.2.5 Oxygen mixtures and air for medical use and breathing application For medical use, the following gas mixtures containing at least 20 % oxygen shall be identified
