GHS Hazard Pictogram

GHS04

Gas Cylinder

Gases under pressure

What does GHS04 mean?

The gas cylinder pictogram indicates compressed, liquefied, refrigerated liquefied, or dissolved gases stored under pressure. These present risks of explosion if heated and asphyxiation if released in confined spaces.

Associated H-statements (2)

H280 Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated.
H281 Contains refrigerated gas; may cause cryogenic burns or injury.

Storage & handling requirements

Secure cylinders upright with chains or straps at all times. Store away from heat sources, corrosives, and ignition sources. Use correct regulators and valves. Ensure adequate ventilation in storage and use areas. Cap cylinders when not in use.

Regulatory context (CLP / OSHA / REACH)

EU Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU applies to gas cylinders. EN ISO 11114-1 covers material compatibility. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.101 governs compressed gas handling in the USA. Regular inspection required.

Transport marking: GHS vs ADR/DOT

ADR Class 2 — Gases. Placard colour depends on gas type: non-flammable/non-toxic (green), flammable (red), toxic (white). UN number identifies specific gas. Specialised transport vehicles may be required.
