EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 10298 testing. ISO 10298 lists the best available acute toxicity data for gases from a current literature search to allow classification of gases and gas mixtures for toxicity by inhalation.
ISO 5145 specifies the sizes of different valve outlets for different groups of compatible gases. These compatible gas groups are determined according to practical criteria defined in ISO 14456. These criteria are based on certain physical, chemical, toxic and corrosive properties of gases. This standard specifically addresses tissue abrasiveness.
The purpose of this standard is to assign for each gas a classification category that takes into account the toxicity of the gas by inhalation. For gas mixtures containing toxic components, a calculation based on the method specified in the GHS is recommended.
There are some difficulties in collecting data from the open literature on acute inhalation toxicity of gases. For example, results from standardized tests cannot be expected given the early years of publication. In addition, data from reporting sources should be validated in detail in processing and summarizing information. There is also a lack of information on inhalation toxicity for various gases. Therefore, particular care should be taken to include all available facts to supplement the toxicological properties of gases.
The standard outlines methods for assessing the toxicity of gases based on their physiological effects on humans. It provides information on how to categorize gases according to different toxicity levels and specifies the required labeling and documentation for cylinder valve outlets based on toxicity classification.
ISO 10298 is an important standard for ensuring safety in the transport, storage and use of gases and gas mixtures. It helps prevent exposure to hazardous gases and helps users choose appropriate protective equipment and safety measures.
