Regulations 18(2) and 27(3)

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 0.4bar; 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 4.5bar 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 199410, as, as the case may be, oxidising, toxic, very toxic or as reacting violently with water.
