Refrigerant gases

Non-toxic and non-flammable gases such as : dichlorodifluoromethane (1028) dichloromonofluoromethane (1029) dichlorotetrafluoromethane (1958) monochlorodifluoroethane (1018) monochlorotetrafluoromethane (1021) monochlorotrifluoromethane (1022)

Unless otherwise specified, gas mixtures containing less than 5% total acetylenes may be transported with no further requirements than those provided for the major components. MFAG numbers are provided for information on the emergency procedures to be applied in the event of an incident involving the products covered by the IGC Code. Where any of the products listed are carried at low temperature from which frostbite may occur, MFAG no. 620 is also applicable.
