CGA G-15

This publication is for gaseous fluorine and mixtures of fluorine with inert gases where the resulting fluorine concentrations of equal to and greater than 0.5% fluorine are considered to present a risk of reaction due to the oxidizing potential.

It is intended for the suppliers, distributors, and users of fluorine and fluorine mixtures and the associated handling equipment.

It sets out to provide a good understanding of the potential hazards involved in storage, use and transportation of compressed fluorine and its mixtures with inert gases and the approach to be taken to minimize the risk of incidents.

This publication does not cover the manufacture, purification, liquefaction, or analysis of fluorine or its mixtures with inert gases, although the general guidance given is also relevant to these processes.

Within Appendix 2 of this publication is an audit checklist.
