The scope of this technical report is to address the procedures for safe and environmental
compatible handling of SF6 during installation, commissioning, normal and abnormal
operations, disposal at the end-of-life of high-voltage switchgear and controlgear. Storage and
transportation of SF6 are also covered.
These procedures should be regarded as minimum requirements to ensure the safety of
personnel working with SF6 and to minimize the SF6 emission to the environment.
This technical report generally applies also to gas mixtures containing SF6.
