—

^a) Gases: gases, liquefied gases, gases dissolved under pressure, vapors and also those liquids whose vapor pressure at the maximum allowable temperature is greater than 0,5 bar above normal atmospheric  pressure (1013 mbar)

^b) Piping intended for unstable gases and falling within categories I or II on the basis of Table 6 must be classified in category III. (Unstable gas is gas or vapor with a risk of sudden decomposition. If this decomposition takes place within an enclosed volume solely by slightly changing a single operating parameter, there is a pressure  fluctuation.)

^c) All piping containing fluids at a temperature greater than 350 ºC and falling within category II on the basis of Table 7 must be classified in category III.

^d) Liquids: liquids whose vapor pressure at the maximum allowable temperature is greater than 0,5 bar above normal atmospheric  pressure,  (1 013  mbar)
