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.

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.
