1 NATURAL GAS, REFRIGERATED with high methane content Page 1 of 6 SAFETY DATA SHEET NATURAL GAS, REFRIGERATED with high methane content SECTION 1: Identification of the substance/mixture and of the company/undertaking Date issued Product identifier Product name REACH Reg No NATURAL GAS, REFRIGERATED with high methane content Exempt from the registration requirements of REACH 1.2. Relevant identified uses of the substance or mixture and uses advised against Use of the substance/preparation Heating/ process heating/ fuel 1.3. Details of the supplier of the safety data sheet Company name Gasnor AS Postal address Helganesveien 41 Postcode 4299 City AVALDSNES Country Norway Tel Fax nina.fjeldheim@gasnor.no Website Emergency telephone number SECTION 2: Hazards identification 2.1. Classification of the substance or mixture Classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 [CLP/GHS] 2.2. Label elements Hazard Pictograms (CLP) Flam gas 2 Eye Irrit. 2 Skin Irrit. 2 H220 On basis of test data Signal word Hazard statements Precautionary statements 2.3. Other hazards Description of hazard Danger H220 Extremely flammable gas. P403 Store in a well-ventilated place. P210 Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. No smoking. Extremely flammable. At high concentrations, the gas can cause some

At higher concentrations, impaired consciousness and suffocation may occur because the atmospheric oxygen is displaced. SECTION 3: Composition/information on ingredients 3.2. Mixtures Component name Identification Classification Contents Methane CAS no.: EC no.: Index no.: Ethane CAS no.: EC no.: Index no.: X Propane CAS no.: EC no.: Index no.: Butane CAS no.: EC no.: Index no.: Synonyms: Butane Note : C, Carc Component comments The full text for all hazard statements is displayed in section ,5 vol% 5 vol% 1 vol% 0,5 vol% SECTION 4: First aid measures 4.1. Description of first aid measures General Get medical attention if discomfort, irritation or other symptoms occur. Inhalation Skin contact Eye contact Remove patient from exposure. Fresh air or artificial respiration/ oxygen supply. Contact a doctor. Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse with plenty of water. Frost damage is treated as burns. Rinse immediately with plenty of water while lifting the eye lids. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Contact a doctor Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Information for health personnel Symptomatic treatment 4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed SECTION 5: Firefighting measures 5.1. Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media Extinguish with foam, carbon dioxide or dry powder. Do not use water Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Fire and explosion hazards Extremely flammable. The gas is heavier than air at temperatures lower than oc. At temperatures higher than -103 oc, the gas will be lighter than air. Empty containers may represent a risk of fire and explosion Advice for firefighters Personal protective equipment Use breathing apparatus for firefighting. Fire fighting procedures Remove the product from fire area if possible without risk. Use water spray to cool containers and disperse vapors. Be aware of the danger that water in contact with the gas in the liquid phase represents. SECTION 6: Accidental release measures 6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

3 NATURAL GAS, REFRIGERATED with high methane content Page 3 of 6 Personal precautions 6.2. Environmental precautions Environmental precautions Remove all ignition sources. Avoid sparks and open flame. Handling in accordance with paragraph 7. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8. Outgassing and evaporation can be reduced by cooling of the containers (for example with CO2) or by covering the containers with foam (reduction of access heat from the environment). The liquefied gas will float on water under high gas development and icing. By adding foam, the evaporation could be reduced Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Methods for cleaning The liquid will quickly pass into gas phase Reference to other sections SECTION 7: Handling and storage 7.1. Precautions for safe handling Handling Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Smoking, open flames, sparks and welding are prohibited Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Storage Store in a cool and ventilated place in closed isolated containers Specific end use(s) SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection 8.1. Control parameters Exposure limit values Component name Identification Value Year Propane CAS no.: EC no.: Index no.: Butane CAS no.: EC no.: Index no.: Synonyms: Butane 8 h.: 600 ppm 8 h.: 1450 mg/m3 15 min.: 750 ppm 15 min.: 1810 mg/m Exposure controls Occupational exposure controls Respiratory protection Respiratory protection Hand protection Hand protection Eye / face protection Eye protection Skin protection Skin protection (other than of the hands) Ensure good ventilation. Provide access to eye washing. Use breathing apparatus when high concentrations. At the risk of skin contact, wear protective gloves made of heat insulating material. Use eye protection if contact is likely. Wear appropriate protective clothing if there is probable skin contact. SECTION 9: Physical and chemical properties 9.1. Information on basic physical and chemical properties Physical state Colorless, liquefied gas.

Spontaneous combustability Value: 540 C 9.2. Other information SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity Reactivity Chemical stability Stability Possibility of hazardous reactions Conditions to avoid Incompatible materials Materials to avoid Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents Hazardous decomposition products SECTION 11: Toxicological information Information on toxicological effects Toxicological Information: Other toxicological data No data found Potential acute effects Inhalation Skin contact Eye contact SECTION 12: Ecological information Toxicity Ecotoxicity No data found Persistence and degradability Persistence and degradability No data found Bioaccumulative potential Bioaccumulative potential No data found Mobility in soil Mobility Results of PBT and vpvb assessment Other adverse effects SECTION 13: Disposal considerations Waste treatment methods Specify the appropriate methods of disposal Stable under normal use and normal conditions. At high concentrations, the gas can cause some dizziness and seem overpowering. At higher concentrations, impaired consciousness and suffocation may occur because atmospheric oxygen is displaced. Contact with the liquid phase can cause frostbite. Contact with the liquid phase can cause eye damage. The product is a liquid that quickly turns into gas phase. Small amounts of liquid phase can evaporate under good ventilation. Larger amounts are treated as hazardous waste.
