CGA C-7

This publication has been prepared to state the general principles for labels and markings and give recommended minimum requirements for many hazardous gases and selected liquids.

The methods of preparing label information established by GHS as required by Title 29 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR) Part 1910.1200 (OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard) have been followed to meet the specific labeling and marking needs of the compressed gas industry.

This publication is not intended to address state, provincial, territorial, or local regulatory label and marking requirements such as the “Proposition 65” warnings required by the state of California.

Covers use of precautionary labels to warn of principal hazards. Includes general principles and illustrative labels for several types of gases, both industrial and medical. Previous edition cited in 49 CFR.

This publication, CGA C-7 (9th edition), includes an addendum that provides guidance for compliance with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).
