Hazard class · Division guide

Flammable Gas (Class 2.1) Storage

Flammable gases ignite easily in air and need ignition control, ventilation, and fire-rated or appropriately classified storage when quantities and codes require it.

Class, Division, and GHS meaning

Class 2.1 is the flammable-gas division under DOT Class 2. GHS phrases such as “Flammable Gas Category 1” describe relative flammability severity for the same family of materials.

Storage implications for rental buildings

Use storage designed for flammable gases: control ignition sources, support cylinder/rack workflows, and segregate from oxidizers. Pair Chemical DB specs with a fire-rated or code-compliant building from US Hazmat Rentals when quantities trigger those controls.
