Introduction
This International Standard establishes a method of allocating a four-digit code number (FTSC) to any
gas, liquids that are transported under pressure or mixture of gases contained in cylinders. This code
number categorizes the gas, liquids that are transported under pressure or gas mixture in terms of its
physical-chemical properties and/or flammability, toxicity, state of the gas, and corrosiveness (see 4.1).
FTSC is the abbreviation of these properties.
The FTSC code enables a gas, liquids that are transported under pressure or gas mixture to be assigned
to one of the 15 “compatible” gas groups.
The FTSC codes and the method for their determination are currently given in ISO 5145:2014, Annex
A for use in the selection of valve outlets. This annex from ISO 5145 will be removed when the present
standard is published.
The properties and the selection criteria are aligned as appropriate with the Globally Harmonized
System for the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).

[SOURCE: ISO 10298:2010, definition 2.1]
4 Gas properties
4.1 Numerical gas code (FTSC)
4.1.1 General
The code number assigned to a gas or liquid is based on the following four physical-chemical properties:
a) Category I (F): fire potential, defining the gas behaviour with respect to combustion;
b) Category II (T): acute toxicity;
c) Category III (S): gas state, defining the physical state of the fluid in the cylinder at 15 °C within a
given pressure range;
d) Category IV (C): corrosiveness (ability to damage or destroy living tissues: eyes, skin, and
mucous membranes).
Each category is subdivided into different characteristics (subdivisions), each identified by a different
digit. In this way, a gas in a given state is characterized by a series of four digits (one digit per category)
as illustrated below.
4.1.2 Fire potential, category I
Subdivision 0: inert (any gas not classified under subdivisions 1 to 5 below);
Subdivision 1: supports combustion (gas having an oxidizing power equal to or less than a mixture
containing 23,5 % of oxygen in nitrogen);
Subdivision 2: flammable (gas having flammability limits in air);
NOTE 1 See ISO 10156 for more information.
Subdivision 3: pyrophoric (spontaneously flammable);
Subdivision 4: oxidizing (gas having an oxidizing power greater than a mixture containing 23,5 % O in
2
N );
2
NOTE 2 See ISO 10156 for more information.
Subdivision 5: chemically unstable (flammable and subject to rapid decomposition or polymerization).
NOTE 3 When considering the properties of gases from subdivisions 1 and 4, the following applies:
a) Subdivision 4 considers the risk of accelerating combustion more than air does;
b) For gas material compatibility with gases under pressure of subdivisions 1 and 4, it is considered that the
risk of ignition exists when the oxygen partial pressure is more than 30 bar;
c) For valves outlet selection (for example, see ISO 5145), the risk is to mix a flammable gas (subdivision 2
and/or 3) with a gas of subdivision 1 and/or 4.

4.1.3 Acute toxicity, category II
Subdivision 0: supporting human life;
Subdivision 1: non-toxic LC > 0,5 % by volume (5 000 ppm);
50 rat 1h
Subdivision 2: toxic; 0,02 % by volume (200 ppm) < LC ≤ 0,5 % by volume (5 000 ppm);
50 rat 1h
Subdivision 3: very toxic LC < 0,02 % by volume (200 ppm).
50 rat 1h
NOTE See ISO 10298 for more information.
4.1.4 State of the gas (in the cylinder at 15 °C), category III
All pressures for compressed gases are working pressures according to the definition given in ISO 10286.
For liquefied gases, this is the developed pressure at 65 °C (normally equal to the cylinder test pressure).
Subdivision 0: liquefied gas of 35 bar or less;
Subdivision 1: liquefied gas at a pressure greater than 35 bar;
Subdivision 2: liquid withdrawal – liquefied gas (optional);
Subdivision 3: dissolved gas;
Subdivision 4: gas phase withdrawal at 35 bar or less;
Subdivision 5: compressed gas between 35 bar and 250 bar (Europe);
Subdivision 6: compressed gas between 35 bar and 207 bar (North America);
Subdivision 7: compressed gas above 207 bar (North America) or 250 bar (Europe).
NOTE 1 Subdivisions 5 and 6 have been adopted as a result of a compromise between the European and the
North American approach. The European preference for a limit of 250 bar reflects the current tendency towards
higher pressure applications. The current North American practice requires a limit of 207 bar for which their
pressure reducing valves are designed. This is the working pressure at the referenced temperature of 15 °C.
Therefore, three pressure classes have been retained. Other jurisdictions might use different values.
Either subdivision 5 or subdivision 6 shall be used, never both. The selection of either subdivision will
determine the applicable pressure for subdivision 7.
Subdivision 5 or 6: medium pressure range, each user being required to select one subdivision
exclusively to determine the upper limit of the medium pressure range (i.e. 182 bar or 250 bar).
Subdivision 7: high pressure range, the lower limit (182 bar or 250 bar) of which depends on the
subdivision selected for the medium pressure range.
After the introduction of subdivisions 5, 6, and 7, a number of pressure ranges have been (or are being)
established to make the selection of the proper cylinder valve outlet connection (e.g. 500 bar, 800 bar,
sub atmospheric pressure. These ranges have been chosen to protect downstream regulators and other
ancillary equipment from over-pressurized conditions. Consequently, for the tables in 5.3, the third
digit (S) used for all compressed gases is “5” to indicate that this is a compressed gas.
NOTE 2 Subdivisions 8 and 9 have been allocated for liquid withdrawal cylinders of cryogenic gases in the USA.
4.1.5 Corrosiveness, category IV
Subdivision 0: non-corrosive;
Subdivision 1: non-halogen acid forming;
Subdivision 2: basic;

Subdivision 3: halogen acid forming.
NOTE See ISO 13338 for more information.
5 List of gases and liquids with the corresponding FTSC codes
5.1 Basic principles and single gases
The FTSC code enables the assignment of any gas (including gas mixtures) or any liquid to be packaged
under pressure one of the 15 “compatible” gas groups listed in the table below.
NOTE Attention is drawn to the fact that the only purpose of the numerical code is to group compatible
gases together in order that particular valve outlets might be assigned to each group. Use of the code is limited
only to the assignment of valve outlets.

a
In ISO 5145, characteristics of group 10 is “oxygen and high pressure oxidant”. Terms and “high pressure oxidant” will
be removed during the next revision of ISO 5145.
b
Groups 2, 5, 10, 11, and 14 only contain one single gas and are assigned to individual named gases from which mixtures
and other gases are excluded.
5.2 Assignment of a gas mixture to a group
For the purposes of this International Standard, a gas mixture is defined as an intentional combination
of two or more gases, which might be either in the gaseous phase or liquefied under pressure when in a
gas cylinder.
NOTE This International Standard does not attempt to identify gas mixtures which can be safely and
satisfactorily prepared; this is the responsibility of the gas manufacturer. It does not describe any methods or
techniques for preparing gas mixtures.
The principle of allocation of a four-digit numerical code (FTSC) to gas mixtures is the same as that for
single gases. The allocation of the FTSC code to a gas mixture, which allows the assignment of this mixture
to one of the group of gases and gas mixtures (see Table 1), depends on the flammability, oxidizing ability,

---------------------- Page: 16 ----------------------

SIST EN ISO 14456:2017
ISO 14456:2015(E)

toxicity, and corrosiveness of the final mixture. The determination of flammability and oxidizing ability
is given in ISO 10156, that of toxicity in ISO 10298, and that for corrosiveness in ISO 13338.
Mixtures containing spontaneously flammable gases (i.e. pyrophoric gases such as silane in Table 10)
shall be considered as spontaneously flammable gas mixtures if the content of the pyrophoric gas(es) is
more than 1 % (by volume).
NOTE Tables 2 to 15 are based on, but have been expanded, from ISO 5145. These tables will be removed
when this International Standard has been published and ISO 5145 will be revised.
Table 16 gives the complete list of gases in alphabetical order.

Introduction
This International Standard establishes a method of allocating a four-digit code number (FTSC) to any
gas, liquids that are transported under pressure or mixture of gases contained in cylinders. This code
number categorizes the gas, liquids that are transported under pressure or gas mixture in terms of its
physical-chemical properties and/or flammability, toxicity, state of the gas, and corrosiveness (see 4.1).
FTSC is the abbreviation of these properties.
The FTSC code enables a gas, liquids that are transported under pressure or gas mixture to be assigned
to one of the 15 “compatible” gas groups.
The FTSC codes and the method for their determination are currently given in ISO 5145:2014, Annex
A for use in the selection of valve outlets. This annex from ISO 5145 will be removed when the present
standard is published.
The properties and the selection criteria are aligned as appropriate with the Globally Harmonized
System for the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).

[SOURCE: ISO 10298:2010, definition 2.1]
4 Gas properties
4.1 Numerical gas code (FTSC)
4.1.1 General
The code number assigned to a gas or liquid is based on the following four physical-chemical properties:
a) Category I (F): fire potential, defining the gas behaviour with respect to combustion;
b) Category II (T): acute toxicity;
c) Category III (S): gas state, defining the physical state of the fluid in the cylinder at 15 °C within a
given pressure range;
d) Category IV (C): corrosiveness (ability to damage or destroy living tissues: eyes, skin, and
mucous membranes).
Each category is subdivided into different characteristics (subdivisions), each identified by a different
digit. In this way, a gas in a given state is characterized by a series of four digits (one digit per category)
as illustrated below.
4.1.2 Fire potential, category I
Subdivision 0: inert (any gas not classified under subdivisions 1 to 5 below);
Subdivision 1: supports combustion (gas having an oxidizing power equal to or less than a mixture
containing 23,5 % of oxygen in nitrogen);
Subdivision 2: flammable (gas having flammability limits in air);
NOTE 1 See ISO 10156 for more information.
Subdivision 3: pyrophoric (spontaneously flammable);
Subdivision 4: oxidizing (gas having an oxidizing power greater than a mixture containing 23,5 % O in
2
N );
2
NOTE 2 See ISO 10156 for more information.
Subdivision 5: chemically unstable (flammable and subject to rapid decomposition or polymerization).
NOTE 3 When considering the properties of gases from subdivisions 1 and 4, the following applies:
a) Subdivision 4 considers the risk of accelerating combustion more than air does;
b) For gas material compatibility with gases under pressure of subdivisions 1 and 4, it is considered that the
risk of ignition exists when the oxygen partial pressure is more than 30 bar;
c) For valves outlet selection (for example, see ISO 5145), the risk is to mix a flammable gas (subdivision 2
and/or 3) with a gas of subdivision 1 and/or 4.

ISO 14456:2015(E)

4.1.3 Acute toxicity, category II
Subdivision 0: supporting human life;
Subdivision 1: non-toxic LC > 0,5 % by volume (5 000 ppm);
50 rat 1h
Subdivision 2: toxic; 0,02 % by volume (200 ppm) < LC ≤ 0,5 % by volume (5 000 ppm);
50 rat 1h
Subdivision 3: very toxic LC < 0,02 % by volume (200 ppm).
50 rat 1h
NOTE See ISO 10298 for more information.
4.1.4 State of the gas (in the cylinder at 15 °C), category III
All pressures for compressed gases are working pressures according to the definition given in ISO 10286.
For liquefied gases, this is the developed pressure at 65 °C (normally equal to the cylinder test pressure).
Subdivision 0: liquefied gas of 35 bar or less;
Subdivision 1: liquefied gas at a pressure greater than 35 bar;
Subdivision 2: liquid withdrawal – liquefied gas (optional);
Subdivision 3: dissolved gas;
Subdivision 4: gas phase withdrawal at 35 bar or less;
Subdivision 5: compressed gas between 35 bar and 250 bar (Europe);
Subdivision 6: compressed gas between 35 bar and 207 bar (North America);
Subdivision 7: compressed gas above 207 bar (North America) or 250 bar (Europe).
NOTE 1 Subdivisions 5 and 6 have been adopted as a result of a compromise between the European and the
North American approach. The European preference for a limit of 250 bar reflects the current tendency towards
higher pressure applications. The current North American practice requires a limit of 207 bar for which their
pressure reducing valves are designed. This is the working pressure at the referenced temperature of 15 °C.
Therefore, three pressure classes have been retained. Other jurisdictions might use different values.
Either subdivision 5 or subdivision 6 shall be used, never both. The selection of either subdivision will
determine the applicable pressure for subdivision 7.
Subdivision 5 or 6: medium pressure range, each user being required to select one subdivision
exclusively to determine the upper limit of the medium pressure range (i.e. 182 bar or 250 bar).
Subdivision 7: high pressure range, the lower limit (182 bar or 250 bar) of which depends on the
subdivision selected for the medium pressure range.
After the introduction of subdivisions 5, 6, and 7, a number of pressure ranges have been (or are being)
established to make the selection of the proper cylinder valve outlet connection (e.g. 500 bar, 800 bar,
sub atmospheric pressure. These ranges have been chosen to protect downstream regulators and other
ancillary equipment from over-pressurized conditions. Consequently, for the tables in 5.3, the third
digit (S) used for all compressed gases is “5” to indicate that this is a compressed gas.
NOTE 2 Subdivisions 8 and 9 have been allocated for liquid withdrawal cylinders of cryogenic gases in the USA.
4.1.5 Corrosiveness, category IV
Subdivision 0: non-corrosive;
Subdivision 1: non-halogen acid forming;
Subdivision 2: basic;

5 List of gases and liquids with the corresponding FTSC codes
5.1 Basic principles and single gases
The FTSC code enables the assignment of any gas (including gas mixtures) or any liquid to be packaged
under pressure one of the 15 “compatible” gas groups listed in the table below.
NOTE Attention is drawn to the fact that the only purpose of the numerical code is to group compatible
gases together in order that particular valve outlets might be assigned to each group. Use of the code is limited
only to the assignment of valve outlets.

a
In ISO 5145, characteristics of group 10 is “oxygen and high pressure oxidant”. Terms and “high pressure oxidant” will
be removed during the next revision of ISO 5145.
b
Groups 2, 5, 10, 11, and 14 only contain one single gas and are assigned to individual named gases from which mixtures
and other gases are excluded.
5.2 Assignment of a gas mixture to a group
For the purposes of this International Standard, a gas mixture is defined as an intentional combination
of two or more gases, which might be either in the gaseous phase or liquefied under pressure when in a
gas cylinder.
NOTE This International Standard does not attempt to identify gas mixtures which can be safely and
satisfactorily prepared; this is the responsibility of the gas manufacturer. It does not describe any methods or
techniques for preparing gas mixtures.
The principle of allocation of a four-digit numerical code (FTSC) to gas mixtures is the same as that for
single gases. The allocation of the FTSC code to a gas mixture, which allows the assignment of this mixture
to one of the group of gases and gas mixtures (see Table 1), depends on the flammability, oxidizing ability,

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 14456:2016
ISO 14456:2015(E)

toxicity, and corrosiveness of the final mixture. The determination of flammability and oxidizing ability
is given in ISO 10156, that of toxicity in ISO 10298, and that for corrosiveness in ISO 13338.
Mixtures containing spontaneously flammable gases (i.e. pyrophoric gases such as silane in Table 10)
shall be considered as spontaneously flammable gas mixtures if the content of the pyrophoric gas(es) is
more than 1 % (by volume).
NOTE Tables 2 to 15 are based on, but have been expanded, from ISO 5145. These tables will be removed
when this International Standard has been published and ISO 5145 will be revised.

The FTSC codes in brackets are from the first version of ISO 5145 (1990). This explains why the corresponding
gases are in this table.
a
Some products, being liquid at normal ambient conditions, are included since they might be supplied in
non-pressurized containers. They are included in this grouping because valve outlets are necessary when these
products are supplied together with a propellant in a pressurized container.
b
To be consistent with ISO 10298, the former FTSC code is completed by the new one in bold figures cor-
responding to the new toxicity level.
