Capt. Bruce Bugg Motor Carrier Compliance Division Georgia Department of Public Safety P.O. Box 1456 Atlanta, GA 30371 Ref. No. 07-021 2 Dear Capt. Bugg: This responds to your request for clarification of the requirements pertaining to the use of trade names and common names under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-1 80). You state that a cargo tank is marked with the trade name "Emixal" followed by "Refrigerated gas" and that the shipping papers contain the shipping description, "Gas, refrigerated liquid, n.o.s., (Argon, Oxygen), 2.2, UN3 158" without the trade name in association with the basic description. Specifically, you ask whether the use of the trade name as a common name and used in this manner is acceptable under 5 172.328(b)(2). You submitted for our review copies of the shipping paper, materials safety data sheet and a photograph of the cargo tank marking. The photograph shows a cargo tank marked as follows: EMIXAL REFRIGERATED LIQUID Section 172.328(b)(2) provides for a common name to be marked in place of the proper shipping name on a cargo tank. Neither the description "Refrigerated Liquid" nor "Emixal, Refrigerated Liquid" is an acceptable common name for the subject gas mixture and, therefore, does not satisfl the marking requirement in 5 172.328(b)(2). Emixal appears to be a trade name. Under 5 172.304(a)(4), non-required markings, such as a trade name, would be acceptable if displayed away from the required hazard markings in a manner that does not substantially reduce its effectiveness. When a common name is used to meet the marking requirements for a cargo tank, that action does not affect the shipping paper requirements. The assigned basic shipping description "Gas, <<>> refrigerated liquid, n.o.s., (Argon, Oxygen), 2.2 UN3 158" is correct. The notation of a common name on the shipping papers would be considered additional information and may be included on the shipping paper in accordance with 5 172.203. I hope this information is helpful. Please contact this ofice if you have further questions. Sincerely, Hattie L. Mitchell Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention Office of Hazardous Materials Standards <<>> . \ Drakeford, Carolyn .b h\ From: INFOCNTR \ < Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 9:16 AM To: Drakeford, Carolyn Subject: FW: Request for clarification of marking requirement Attachments: PI01 0282.

Thanks, Rob From: Bruce Bugg [mailto:obbugg@gsp.net] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 7:11 PM To: INFOCNTR Subject: Request for clarification of marking requirement This e-mail is to request a written clarification of the marking requirement in 49 CFR §172.328(b). A carrier marks a cargo tank containing a Class 2 cryogenic liquid mixture with the trade name, followed by "REFRIGERATED GAS." The trade name appears to be unique to this shipper and carrier. The shipping documents contain the shipping description, "Gas, refrigerated liquid, n.o.s., (Argon, Oxygen), 2.2, UN 3158." They do not contain the trade name in association with the shipping description. Is the use of a trade name in this manner acceptable as a "common name" under §172.328(b)(2)? Attached are the MSDS for the product, shipping papers, and a photograph of the tank marking. Capt. Bruce Bugg Motor Carrier Compliance Division Georgia Department of Public Safety P.O.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION I EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: This is a colorless, odorless, cryogenic liquid mixture. The cryogenic liquid will of this gas is asphyxiation, by displacement of oxygen. The liquefied gas can also cause freezing of tissue., or I rapidly boil to the gas at standard temperatures and pressures. A primary health hazard associated with releases I crvoaenic burns, similar to frostbite to eves or skin upon contact. 1 - SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The most significant routes of overexposure for this gas are by inhalation, and contact with the cryogenic liquid. INHALATION: High concentrations of this gas can cause an oxygendeficient environment. Individuals breathing such an atmosphere may experience symptoms which include headaches, ringing in ears, diuiness, drowsiness, unconsciousness, nausea, vomiting, and depression of all the senses. The skin of a victim of overexposure may have a blue color. Under some circumstances of overexposure, death may occur, due to the displacement of oxygen. The following effects associated with various levels of oxygen are as follows: CONCENTRATION SYMPTOM OF EXPOSURE 12-16% Oxygen: Breathing and pulse rate increased, muscular coordination slightly disturbed. 1 0-1 4% Oxygen: Emotional upset, abnormal fatigue, disturbed respiration. 6-1 0% Oxygen: Nausea and vomiting, collapse or loss of consciousness. Below 6%: Convulsive movements, possible respiratory collapse, and death. CONTACT WITH SKIN or EYES: Contact of the liquid with the skin can lead to severe cryogenic burns or dermatitis (red, cracked, irritated skin), depending upon concentration and duration of exposure. Contact of the liquid with the eyes can cause pain, redness, severe cryogenic burns, and prolonged exposure could cause blindness. Contact with the undiluted liquid will cause frostbite, ulceration of the skin (which may be delayed in appearance for several hours), blistering, and pain. Contact with rapidly expanding gas poses a frostbite hazard. OTHER POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: Contact with cryogenic liquid or rapidly expanding gases (which are released under high pressure) may cause frostbite. Symptoms of frostbite include change in skin color to white or grayish-yellow. The pain after contact with liquid can quickly subside. HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE: An Explanation in Lay Terms. Over-exposure to this refrigerated gas mixture may cause the following health effects: ACUTE: The most significant hazard associated with this gas is inhalation of oxygendeficient atmospheres. Symptoms of oxygen deficiency include respiratory dficulty, ringing in ears, headaches, dizziness, indigestion, and nausea. At high concentrations, unconsciousness or death may occur. Contact with cryogenic liquid or rapidly expanding gases (which are released under high pressure) may cause frostbite. Symptoms of frostbite include change in skin color to white or grayish-yellow. The pain after contact with liquid can quickly subside. CHRONIC: There are currently no known adverse health effects associated with chronic exposure to this refrigerated gas mixture. TARGET ORGANS: Respiratory system. 3. COMPOSITION and INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS 1 This material is classified as hazardous under OSHA regulations in the United States and the WHMlS in Canada. NE = Not Established C = Ceiling Limit See Section 16 for Defin~tions of Terms Used. NOTE: all W M l S required informatlon is included. It IS located in appropr~ate sections based on the ANSI 2400.1-2004 format. EMIXAL (1 0044) MSDS EFFECTIVE DATE: AUGUST 31,2005 PAGE 2 OF 8 <<>> 4 FIRST-AID MEASURES RESCUERS SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE VICTIMS OF EXPOSURE TO THIS GAS MIXTURE WITHOUT ADEQUATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. At a minimum, Self- Contained Breathing Apparatus should be worn. Remove victim(s) to fresh air, as quickly as possible. If not breathing give artificial respiration If breathing is difficult, give oxygen Only trained personnel should administer supplemental oxygen. SKIN EXPOSURE: Remove any clothing that may restrict circulation to any frozen area. Do not rub frozen parts as tissue damage may occur. As soon as practicable, place any affected area in warm water bath which has a temperature that does not exceed 105°F (40°C). NEVER USE HOT WATER. NEVER USE DRY HEAT. If area of frostbite is extensive, and if possible, remove clothing while showering with warm water. If warm water is not available, or is impractical to use, wrap the affected parts gently in blankets. Alternatively, if the fingers or hands are frostbitten, place the affected area of the body in the armpit. Encourage victim to gently exercise the affected part while being warmed. Seek immediate medical attention. Frozen tissue is painless and appears waxy, with a possible yellow color. Frozen tissue will become swollen, painful and prone to infection when thawed. If the frozen part of the body has been thawed by the time medical attention has been obtained, cover the area with a dry sterile dressing and a large bulky protective covering. EYE EXPOSURE: If liquid is splashed into eyes, or if irritation of the eye develops after exposure to liquid or gas, open victim's eyes while under gentle running water. Use sufficient force to open eyelids. Have victim "roll" eyes. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Seek medical assistance immediately, preferably an ophthalmologist. Victim(s) must be taken for medical attention. Rescuers should be taken for medical attention, if necessary. Take copy of label and MSDS to physician or other health professional with victim@). 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not applicable. FLAMMABLE LIMITS (in air by volume, %): Lower (LEL): Not applicable. Upper (UEL): Not applicable. FlRE EXTINGUISHING MATERIALS: Non-flammable, cryogenic gas. Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire. RESPONSE TO FlRE INVOLVING CRYOGEN: Cryogenic liquids can be particularly dangerous during fires because of their potential to rapidly freeze water. Careless use of water may cause heavy icing. Furthermore, the relatively warm water greatly increases the evaporation rate of this cryogenic liquid mixture. If large concentrations of this refrigerated gas mixture gas are present, the water vapor in the surrounding air will condense, creating a dense fog that may make it difficult to find fire exits or equipment. This refrigerated gas mixture, when exposed to the atmosphere, will produce a cloud of icebog in the air upon its release. UNUSUAL FlRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: This gas mixture does not burn; however, containers, when involved in fire, may rupture or burst in the heat of the fire. This refrigerated gas mixture when accidentally released will vaporize rapidly, forming an oxygen deficient vapor cloud. Evacuate this vapor cloud area. Visibility may be obscured in its vapor cloud. Pressure in a container can build-up due to heat and ~t may rupture if pressure relief devices should fail to function. Contact with cold liquid or gaseous mixture may cause frostbite. Explosion Sensitivitv to Mechanical Impact: Not Sensitive. Explosion Sensitivity to Static Discharqe: Not Sensitive. SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Structural fire-fighters must wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus and full protective equipment. If possible, remove cryogenic containers from fire area or cool with water. Do not direct water spray at the container vent. Evacuate area. Other information for pre-planning can be found in the North American Emergency Response Guidebook ( Guide# 120). EMIXAL (10044) MSDS EFFECTIVE DATE: AUGUST 31,2005 PAGE 3 OF 8 <<>> 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES I I RESPONSE TO CRYOGENIC RELEASE: Clear the affected area and allow the liquid to evaporate and the gas to dissipate. After the gas is formed, follow the instructions provided below. Alternatively, to increase the rate of vaporization, spray large amounts of water on to the leak from an upwind position. If the area must be entered by emergency personnel, SCBA, leather or insulated gloves, and safety shoes must be worn. Personnel responding to a release must avoid all contact with the liquid. Minimum Personal Protective Equipment should be Level B: leather or thermally insulated gloves and Self- Contained Breathing Apparatus. Locate and seal the source of the leaking gas. Monitor the surrounding area for oxygen level. The atmosphere must have at least 19.5 percent oxygen before personnel can be allowed in the area without Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. If leaking incidentally from the container or valve, contact your suppler. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE WORK PRACTICES AND HYGIENE PRACTICES: Be aware of any signs of dizziness or fatigue; exposures to fatal concentrations of this refrigerated gas mixture could occur without any significant warning symptoms, due to oxygen deficiency. STORAGE AND HANDLING PRACTICES: Cryogenic containers should be stored in dry, well-ventilated areas away from sources of heat, ignition and direct sunlight. Keep storage area clear of materials which can burn. Store containers away from heavily trafficked areas and emergency exits. Store away from process and production areas, away from elevators, building and room exits or main aisles leading to exits. Protect containers against physical damage. Containers should be stored upright and be firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked-over. Containers can be stored in the open, but in such cases, should be protected against extremes of weather and from the dampness of the ground to prevent rusting. Cryogenic containers are equipped with pressure relief devices to control internal pressure. Under normal conditions, these containers will periodically vent small amounts of product. Some metals such as carbon steel may become brittle at low temperatures and will easily fracture. Prevent entrapment of liquid in closed systems or piping without pressure relief devices. Use a check valve or other protective device in the discharge line to prevent hazardous backflow. Never tamper with pressure relief valves and containers. Keep the smallest amount on-site as is necessary. Full and empty containers should be segregated. Use a first-in, first-out inventory systems to prevent full containers from being stored for long periods of time. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING CRYOGENIC CONTAINERS: Cryogenic liquids can present significant safety hazards. Never allow any unprotected part of the body to touch uninsulated pipes or vessels which contain cryogenic fluids. The extremely cold metal of the container will cause the flesh to stick fast and tear when one attempts to withdraw from it. The following rules are applicable to work situations in which cryogenic containers are being used. Before Use: Move containers a suitable hand-truck. Do not drag, slide or roll containers. Do not drop containers or permit them to strike each other. Secure containers firmly. During Use: Use designated CGA fittings and other support equipment. Do not use adapters. Do not heat container by any means to increase the discharge rate of the product from the container. Do not use oils or grease on valve fittings or equipment. Leak-check system with leak detection solution. Immediately contact the supplier if there are any difficulties associated with operating container valve. After Use: Close main container valve. Mark empty container "EMPTY". NOTE: Use only DOT or ASME code containers designed for gas storage. Close valve after each use and when empty. Containers must not be recharged except by or with the consent of owner. For welding and brazing ' operations, refer to ANSI 2-49.1 "Safety in Welding and Cutting" and OSHA safety regulations for welding, cutting, and brazing (29 CFR 191 0.252). Refer to Section 16, Other Information, for additional available literature. OTHER SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: Use piping and equipment adequately designed to withstand pressures and temperatures to be encountered. Use a check valve or other protective apparatus in any line or piping from the container to prevent reverse flow. To prevent cryogenic liquids or cold gas from being trapped in piping between valves, the piping shall be equipped with pressure relief devices. Only transfer lines designed for cryogenic liquids shall be used. It is recommended that all vents be piped to the exterior of the building.
