7 Handling and Storage
Handling
Do not tamper with the gas cylinder valve!
Remarks regarding fire and explosion protection: Do not overheat.
Storage
Special requirements for storage spaces and containers:
Store dry and cool. Store in well ventilated spaces away from direct sunlight or
sources of direct heat. Store cylinders in boxes to prevent them from rolling.
Cylinders should not be exposed to temperatures above 50°C.
Protect cylinders from physical damage. Full and empty cylinders should be
segregated. Use a "first in - first out" inventory system to prevent full cylinders being
stored for excessive periods of time.
