SCHEDULE 2 Descriptions of dangerous fluids

1.  A fluid which—

(a) is flammable in air;

(b) has a boiling point below 5°C, at 1 bar absolute; and

(c) is, or is to be, conveyed in the pipeline as a liquid.

2.  A fluid which is flammable in air and is, or is to be, conveyed in the pipeline as a gas at above 8 bar absolute.

3.  A liquid which has a vapour pressure greater than 1.5 bar absolute when in equilibrium with its vapour at either the actual temperature of the liquid or at 20°C.

4.  A toxic or very toxic fluid which—

(a) is a gas at 20°C and 1 bar absolute; and

(b) is, or is to be, conveyed as a liquid or a gas.

5.  A toxic fluid which—

(a) at 20°C has a saturated vapour pressure greater than 0.4 bar; and

(b) is, or is to be, conveyed in the pipeline as a liquid.

6.  Acrylonitrile.

7.  A very toxic fluid which—

(a) at 20°C has a saturated vapour pressure greater than 0.001 bar; or

(b) is, or is to be, conveyed in the pipeline as a liquid at a pressure greater than 4.5 bar absolute.

8.  An oxidising fluid which is, or is to be, conveyed as a liquid.

9.  A fluid which reacts violently with water.

10.  For the purposes of this Schedule—

(a) a liquid is oxidising; and

(b) a fluid is toxic or very toxic, or reacts violently with water,

if it has been, or is liable to be classified, pursuant to regulation 5 of the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995(1), as the case may be, oxidising, toxic, very toxic or as reacting violently with water.
