First-aid measures
1. Preamble
1.1. Indications on Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for the professional user about guidance on safe use of petroleum products, in all its aspects, should take into account that applicable legislation and general accepted practices for the management of industrial routine activities or emergencies, as well as company operating procedures, already compose a background which indicates which general actions are necessary/mandatory, advisable or unadvisable in such cases. An extensive recapitulation of all this background information will not necessarily add information value to a SDS, and may actually decrease the readability of the document, especially in an emergency. Therefore the indications meant for actual inclusion in SDSs can be focused (although not necessarily limited) to:
- Product specific issues (i.e. special hazards or characteristics)
- Key Actions (or group of actions) that are applicable in the specific case
1.2. The actual level of detail of information and its phrasing in individual SDSs may reflect local or national conventions or requirements, or company policies, but without infringing on the consistency with the information submitted hereunder. Also, more stringent national or local legal requirements or conventions will take precedence over the guidance provided in this document
2. Warning before intervention
2.1. Before attempting to rescue casualties, isolate area from all potential sources of ignition including disconnecting electrical supply.
2.2. Ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable atmosphere is present before entry into confined spaces.
2.3. Drench contaminated clothing with water before removing to avoid risk of sparks from static electricity;
2.4. (Subject to applicability) Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) can accumulate in the headspace of storage tanks and reach potentially hazardous concentrations.
3. Inhalation
3.1. Symptoms: inhalation of vapours may cause headache, nausea, vomiting and an altered state of consciousness.
3.2. If breathing is difficult, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
3.3. If the casualty is unconscious and:
* Not breathing – ensure that there is no obstruction to breathing and give artificial respiration by trained personnel. If necessary, give external cardiac massage and obtain medical assistance.
* Breathing - place in the recovery position and keep the head below the level of the torso. Administer oxygen if necessary;
3.4. Obtain medical attention if casualty has an altered state of consciousness or if symptoms do not resolve.
3.5. (Subject to applicability) If there is any suspicion of inhalation of H2S:
* Rescuers must wear breathing apparatus, belt and safety rope, and follow rescue procedures.
* Remove casualty to fresh air as quickly as possible.
* Immediately begin artificial respiration if breathing has ceased.
* Provision of oxygen may help.
* Obtain medical advice for further treatment.
4. Skin Contact
4.1. Symptoms: reddening, irritation.
4.2. Remove contaminated clothing and footwear, and dispose of safely
4.3. Wash affected area with soap and water.
4.4. Seek medical attention if skin irritation, swelling or redness develops and persists.
4.5. When using high-pressure equipment, injection of product can occur. If high-pressure injuries occur, immediately seek professional medical attention. Do not wait for symptoms to develop
4.6. For minor thermal burns: Cool the burn. Hold the burned area under cold running water for at least five minutes, or until the pain subsides. However, body hypothermia must be avoided.
5. Eye Contact
5.1. Symptoms: slight irritation (unspecific).
5.2. Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do so. Continue rinsing.
5.3. If irritation, blurred vision or swelling occurs and persists, obtain medical advice from a specialist.
6. Ingestion/aspiration
6.1. Symptoms: few or no symptoms expected. If any, nausea and diarrhoea might occur.
6.2. Ingestion (swallowing) of this material may result in an altered state of consciousness and loss of coordination
6.3. In case of ingestion, always assume that aspiration has occurred .The casualty should be sent immediately to a hospital. Do not wait for symptoms to develop.
6.4. Do not induce vomiting as there is high risk of aspiration.
6.5. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Fire-fighting measures
1. Product specific hazards and other issues
1.1. This substance will float and can be reignited on surface water.
2. Extinguishing Media
- Foam (Specifically trained personnel only)
- Water fog (t Specifically rained personnel only)
- Dry chemical powder
- Carbon dioxide
- Other inert gases (subject to regulations)
- Sand or earth
3. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
3.1. Do not use direct water jets on the burning product; they could cause splattering and spread the fire.
3.2. Simultaneous use of foam and water on the same surface is to be avoided as water destroys the foam.
4. Combustion Products
4.1. Incomplete combustion is likely to give rise to a complex mixture of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases, including carbon monoxide and unidentified organic and inorganic compounds.
4.2. If sulphur compounds are present in appreciable amounts, combustion products may include also H2S and SOx (sulfur oxides) or sulfuric acid.
5. Protective Equipment for Fire-fighters
5.1. In case of a large fire or in confined or poorly ventilated spaces wear full fire resistant protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Accidental release measures
1. General information
1.1. Stop or contain leak at the source if safe to do so. Avoid direct contact with released material. Stay upwind. In case of large spillages, alert occupants in downwind areas.
1.2. Keep non-involved personnel away from the area of spillage. Alert emergency personnel.
Except in case of small spillages, the feasibility of any actions should always be assessed and advised, if possible, by a trained, competent person in charge of managing the emergency.
1.3. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so (e.g. electricity, sparks, fires, flares).
1.4. (Subject to applicability): In those cases when the presence of dangerous amounts of H2S around the spilled product is suspected or proved, additional or special actions may be warranted, including access restrictions, use of special protection equipment, procedures and personnel training
1.5. If required, notify relevant authorities according to all applicable regulations.
2. Personal protection equipment for emergency responders
2.1. Small spillages: normal antistatic working clothes are usually adequate. Large spillages: full body suit of chemically resistant and antistatic material
2.2. Work gloves providing adequate chemical resistance, specifically to aromatic hydrocarbons. Note: gloves made of PVA are not water-resistant, and are not suitable for emergency use.
2.3. Work helmet. Antistatic non-skid safety shoes or boots
2.4. Goggles or face shield, if splashes or contact with eyes is possible or anticipated.
2.5. Respiratory protection: A half or full-face respirator with filter(s) for organic vapours (and when applicable for H2S) or a Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) can be used according to the extent of spill and predictable amount of exposure. If the situation cannot be completely assessed, or if an oxygen deficiency is possible, only SCBA’s should be used.
3. Spillages onto land
3.1. Prevent product from entering sewers, rivers, waterways or other bodies of water
3.2. If necessary dike the product with dry earth, sand or similar non-combustible materials.
3.3. Large spillages may be cautiously covered with foam, if available, to limit vapour cloud formation. Do not use direct jets
3.4. When inside buildings or confined spaces, ensure adequate ventilation.
3.5. Absorb spilled product with suitable non-combustible materials.
3.6. Collect free product with suitable means. Transfer collected product and other contaminated materials to suitable containers for recovery or safe disposal.
3.7. In case of soil contamination, remove contaminated soil and treat in accordance with local regulations.
4. Spillages on water or at sea
4.1. In case of small spillages in closed waters (i.e. ports), contain product with floating barriers or other equipment. Collect spilled product by absorbing with specific floating absorbents
4.2. Large spillages in open waters should be contained with floating barriers or other mechanical means and recovered, only if this is strictly necessary and if fire/explosion risks can be adequately prevented. Otherwise control the spreading of the spillage, and let the substance evaporate naturally.
4.3. The use of dispersants should be advised by an expert, and, if required, approved by local authorities.
4.4. Collect all waste materials in suitable tanks or containers for recovery or safe disposal.
5. Additional information
5.1. Note: recommended measures are based on the most likely spillage scenarios for this material; however, local conditions (wind, air temperature, wave/current direction and speed) may significantly influence the choice of appropriate actions. For this reason, local experts should be consulted when necessary. Local regulations may also prescribe or limit actions to be taken.
5.2. (Subject to applicability): Concentration of H2S in tank headspaces may reach hazardous values, especially in case of prolonged storage. This situation is especially relevant for those operations which involve direct exposure to the vapours in the tank.
5.3. (Subject to applicability): Spillages of limited amounts of products, especially in the open air when vapours will be usually quickly dispersed, are dynamic situations, which are unlikely to entail exposure to dangerous concentrations. As H2S has a density greater than ambient air, a possible exception may regard the build-up of dangerous concentrations in specific spots, like trenches, depressions or confined spaces. In all these circumstances, however, the correct actions should be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Handling and storage

- Preamble
0.1 The transportation of dangerous goods (by land, water or air) is a specialized professional field. Dangerous goods transport is regulated by an extensive body of recommendations, regulations, rules and agreements to ensure an adequate and harmonised level of safety for man and environment. Whereas some of these requirements have been adopted as European Union legislation, others are legally binding international treaties or sector agreements. They cover all the relevant technical aspects involved in the transport of dangerous goods (e.g. choice of equipment, labelling, documentation, packaging design, testing procedures, operating procedures etc.).
0.2 In addition to legal obligations discussed in the previous paragraph, Member states will also have in place detailed binding regulations governing the general conduct of transport activities, including licensing and inspection of vehicles, the authorization of drivers and other personnel, and issues relating to the rules of the road. There may also be specific national exceptions and requirements.
0.3 The legal framework and its accompanying detailed provisions will specify which actions are necessary/mandatory, advisable or forbidden. Extensive repetition of this background information is not practicable in a safety data sheet, and could make the document too long and difficult to read and understand, especially in an emergency when clear, brief information is needed.
0.4 The consideration of this background information enables the content of the safety data sheet to be concentrated on the identification of a product's proper shipping name and its hazard classification. Where it is relevant, other information may be added. This information will act as key for the professional for retrieving the necessary specific information in the relevant body of transport codes, rules and regulations.
0.5 Substances in this category may be classified differently. Factors affecting classification include composition, closed flash point, initial boiling point and aquatic toxicity. The differences are explained in additional transport information paragraphs that have been numbered.
Additional transport information 01
Low boiling point naphtha substances are regarded as UVCB (unknown, of variable composition, or of biological origin) substances that consist of a complex combination of hydrocarbons. However, if a substance can be defined in REACH as a mono-constituent substance or as a multi-constituent substance, a specific substance name listed in the relevant dangerous goods list may be required. Transport recommendations have only been included herein for substances defined in REACH as UVCB.
Additional transport information 02
The proper shipping name UN 1268 PETROLEUM DISTILLATES N.O.S. or PETROLEUM PRODUCTS N.O.S. can be applied to low boiling point naphthas with a closed flash-point of 60°C and below. There is a separate proper shipping name for Gasoline CAS 86290-81-5, EINECS 289-220-8. See Additional transport information 03.
Additional transport information 03
The proper shipping name UN 1203 MOTOR SPIRIT or GASOLINE or PETROL can be applied to Gasoline CAS 86290-81-5, EINECS 289-220-8.
The substance gasoline, CAS 86290-81-5, can be considered to be different to other low boiling point naphtha substances. Unlike other low boiling point naphtha substances,
The substance gasoline can be mixed with oxygenates and performance additives to produce gasoline products that are marketed in the EU as fuels. Gasoline substance is the refinery hydrocarbon component of marketed gasoline fuels.
National legislation in some member states may restrict the use of UN 1203 to marketed gasoline fuels, and may prevent the application of UN 1203 to the substance gasoline. It is important to be aware of the requirements of national legislation in this respect. If the use of UN 1203 for gasoline substance, CAS 86290-81-5, is not permitted then UN 1268 classified with the correct packaging group is recommended. See Additional transport information 01.
Additional transport information 04
The proper shipping name UN 3082 ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, LIQUID, N.O.S. is required for substances with a closed flash point of greater than 60°C for transport by land (ADR/RID), marine (IMDG) and air (ICAO/IATA). UN 3082 can be used provided the substance cannot be assigned to other entries in classes 1 – 8, and provided the substance cannot be assigned to other entries in class 9.
Additional transport information 05
When it is listed, special provision 274 in the dangerous goods list requires the technical name in brackets to be added to the proper shipping name. According to the UN Model Regulations the technical name shall be a recognized chemical or other name used in scientific and technical handbooks, journals and texts. Petroleum substances are identified by the full substance name or short name. It is recommended that the appropriate short name is used. It will be one of the following short names:
Low boiling point naphtha
Low boiling point modified naphtha
Low boiling point cat-cracked naphtha
Low boiling point cat-reformed naphtha
Low boiling point thermally cracked naphtha
Low boiling point hydrogen treated naphtha
Low boiling point naphtha – unspecified
Special provision 274 applies to UN 3082. Special provision 274 does not apply to UN 1203, UN 1268, ID 9001 and ID 9003.
Additional transport information 06
The correct choice of packaging group, hazard identification number (HIN) and UK emergency action code (EAC) will depend upon the closed flash point and initial boiling point of the low boiling point naphtha being transported. The criteria are published in the transport regulations, but are summarised below.
Initial boiling point <=35°C requires packaging group I, HIN 33, UK EAC 3YE.
Flash point (closed cup) <23°C and Initial boiling point >35°C requires packaging group II, HIN 33, UK EAC 3YE.
Flash point (closed cup) >= 23 to <= 60°C and Initial boiling point >35°C requires packaging group III, HIN 30, UK EAC 3Y.
For UN 1268 substances belonging to packing group II, the special provisions in ADR, RID and ADN(R) differ depending upon whether the vapour pressure of the substance at 50°C is more than 110 kPa or not more than 110 kPa.
Additional transport information 07
Special provision 243 in the dangerous goods list applies to UN 1203. Gasoline is assigned to this entry regardless of variations in volatility.
Additional transport information 08
The substance will require a marine pollutant mark / environmentally hazardous substance mark because it is classified as Environmentally hazardous substance – Category: Chronic 2.
Additional transport information 09
When transport is by inland waterway (ADNR) the use of UN 3082 ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, LIQUID, N.O.S. will apply to substances that are being transported in packages. UN 3082 can be used provided the substance cannot be assigned to other entries in classes 1 – 8, and provided the substance cannot be assigned to other entries in class 9. For transport by inland waterway in tank vessels other UN numbers may take precedence over UN 3082.
UN 3082 belongs to Class 9 Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles and Classification code M6 applies. If the substance is classified as UN 3082, an environmentally hazardous substance mark will be required because it is classified as Environmentally hazardous substance - Category: Chronic 2.
For transport by inland waterway (ADNR) in bulk in a tank vessel UN 3082 can be used provided the substance does not meet the classification criteria of any other class or substance within Class 9.
For transport in tank vessels, other UN numbers and proper shipping names will be required if the criteria for classification as ID 9001 or ID 9003 are met.
