GB 30000.6-2013 is a current mandatory Chinese national standard for Rules for classification and labelling of chemicals - Part 6: Gases under pressure. It appears in the Electronics compliance cluster with a labeling & classification focus and has an implementation date of Nov 1, 2014.
Applicability depends on product scope, certification route, competent authority notices and transition rules. Requst for the translation or verify source before using this record in a compliance decision.
Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the classification and labelling of gases under pressure according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). It covers pure gases and mixtures packaged at a pressure of 200kPa or greater at 20°C, or liquefied/refrigerated gases. It is important to note that aerosols are excluded from this standard and are regulated under GB 30000.4.
Technical requirements
Chapters 4 and 6 of this standard are mandatory. The standard defines gases under pressure and categorizes them into four types: compressed gases, liquefied gases (further divided into high and low pressure based on critical temperature), refrigerated liquefied gases, and dissolved gases. Manufacturers must assign the correct hazard category based on the critical temperature and physical state of the gas. For labelling, the standard specifies the use of designated pictograms, signal words, and hazard statements. The signal word used for all categories of gases under pressure is 'Warning'. Labels must include product identifiers, supplier information, and specific precautionary statements regarding storage and handling, such as protecting from sunlight and storing in well-ventilated places. Refer to GHS Rev 4 for detailed coding of hazard and precautionary statements.
Testing methods
Classification is determined based on specific physical properties rather than traditional testing methods. The key data required includes the vapor pressure at 50°C, the physical state at 20°C and standard atmospheric pressure, and the critical temperature of the gas. For complex mixtures, additional calculations may be required to determine the correct classification. The standard provides a decision logic flowchart in Annex A to assist in the classification process.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 30000.6-2013?
It regulates gases under pressure, including compressed, liquefied, refrigerated liquefied, and dissolved gases. Aerosols are not covered under this standard.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 30000.6-2013?
Yes, it replaces GB 20580-2006. The main changes include modifying the standard name, updating the scope, and reorganizing chapters and annexes to align with the UN GHS Rev 4.
How does GB 30000.6-2013 relate to international standards?
The technical content is consistent with the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) (Rev 4). It also references the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods.
