1 Scope This document specifies methods for determining whether or not a gas or gas mixture is flammable in air and whether a gas or gas mixture is more or less oxidizing than air under atmospheric conditions. This document is intended to be used for the classification of gases and gas mixtures including the selection of gas cylinder valve outlets.
