Cylinder colour coding – new European standard
A new standard governing the colour coding of
transportable gas cylinders is coming into force across Europe.
The new standard, EN1089-3, will ensure consistency of colour
coding, helping to improve safety standards across the industry.
Air Products has many hundreds of thousands of cylinders. The repainting exercise will take a number of years
to complete and customers may have cylinders delivered which
bear both the old and new colours. The cylinder label will
therefore be vital in understanding the product contained within
the cylinder.
