5.2.4 combustible material — a material that, in the
form in which it is used and under the conditions
anticipated, may ignite, burn, or release flammable
vapors when subjected to fire or heat.
5.2.5 corrosive — a chemical that causes visible
destruction of, or irreversible alterations in, living tissue
by chemical action at the site of contact. A chemical is
considered to be corrosive if, when tested on the intact
skin of albino rabbits by the method described in the U.
S. Department of Transportation in Appendix A to 49
CFR 173, it destroys or changes irreversibly the
structure of the tissue at the site of contact following an
exposure period of four hours. This term shall not refer
to action on inanimate surfaces.
5.2.6 cylinder — a pressure vessel designed for
containing chemicals at positive gauge pressure and
having a circular cross section. The definition of
“cylinder” does not include a portable tank, multiunit
tank car tank, cargo tank, or tank car.
5.2.7 flammable gas — any gas that forms an ignitable
mixture with air at 20 ° C (68 ° F) and 101.3 kPa (14.7
psia). [SEMI S2, S18]
5.2.8 gas — the fluid form of a substance in which it
can expand indefinitely and completely fill its
container; form that is neither liquid or solid. [SEMI
F78]
5.2.9 gas cabinet — a metal enclosure which is
intended to provide local exhaust ventilation, protection
for the gas cylinder from fire from outside the cabinet,
and protection for the surroundings from fire from
inside the cabinet.
5.2.10 hazardous production material (HPM) — a
solid, liquid, or gas that has a degree of hazard rating in
health, flammability, or reactivity of Class 3 or 4 as
ranked by NFPA 704 and which is used directly in
research, laboratory, or production processes which
have as their end product materials which are not
hazardous. [SEMI S2]
5.2.11 highly toxic chemical — a chemical that has a
median lethal concentration (LC
50
) in air of 200 parts
per million by volume or less of gas or vapor, or 2
milligrams per liter or less of mist, fume, or dust, when
administered by continuous inhalation for one hour (or
less if death occurs within one hour) to albino rats
weighing between 200 and 300 grams each.
5.2.12 inert gas — a gas which at ambient conditions
does not react chemically with other chemicals.
5.2.13 irritant — A chemical is considered to be an
irritant if:
a) It is classified as a “primary skin irritant” per 16 CFR
1500, or

SEMI S4-0304 © SEMI 1992, 2004 3
b) It is designated as an irritant according to European
Directive 67/548/EEC, on the approximation of the
laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating
to the classification, packaging and labeling of
dangerous substances including its amendments and
adaptations to technical progress.
5.2.14 liquid — having its molecules moving freely
with respect to each other so as to flow readily, unlike a
solid, but because of cohesive forces not expanding
infinitely like a gas. [SEMI F78]
5.2.15 other health hazard —A chemical for which
there is statistically significant evidence based on at
least one study conducted in accordance with
established scientific principles that acute or chronic
health effects may occur in exposed employees, other
than those for which a separate classification is defined.
The term “other health hazard” includes chemicals
which are carcinogens, reproductive toxins, sensitizers,
hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, neurotoxins, mutagens,
agents which act on the hematopoietic system, and
agents which damage the lungs, skin, eyes, or mucous
membranes.
5.2.16 oxidizer chemical — a chemical which will
support combustion or increase the burning rate of a
combustible or flammable material with which it may
come in contact.
5.2.17 pyrophoric chemical — a chemical which upon
contact with air will ignite spontaneously at or below a
temperature of 54°C (130°F).
5.2.18 separation — the condition of having the risks
of mixing of chemicals and of exposure of cylinders to
chemicals other than those they contain managed by the
cylinders being in different gas cabinets.
5.2.19 toxic chemical — A chemical is considered to
be toxic if:
a) It that has a median lethal concentration (LC
50
) in air
of more than 200 parts per million but not more than
2,000 parts per million by volume of gas or vapor, or
more than 20 milligrams per liter of mist, fume, or dust,
when administered by continuous inhalation for one
hour (or less if death occurs within one hour) to albino
rats weighing between 200 and 300 grams each, or
b) It is designated as “Toxic” according to European
Directive 67/548/EEC on the approximation of the
laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating
to the classification, packaging and labeling of
dangerous substances including its amendments and
adaptations to technical progress.
5.2.20 unstable (reactive) — a chemical which in the
pure state, or as produced or transported, will
vigorously polymerize, decompose, condense, or will
become self-reactive under conditions of shock,
pressure, or temperature.
5.2.21 water reactive — a chemical that reacts with
water to release a chemical that is either flammable or
presents a health hazard.
6 Classification
6.1 Chemicals should be classified according to the
categories and associated symbols as shown in Table 1.
6.2 Information on the properties of chemicals (other
than mixtures) should be obtained through
measurement or from literature, such as MSDSs.

Flammable F
Pyrophoric P
Corrosive Acid CA
Corrosive Base CB
Toxic T
Highly Toxic HT
Oxidizer O
Inert I
Irritant IRR
Water Reactive WR
Unstable (Reactive) UR
Other Health Hazard OHH
6.3 A chemical should be assigned more than one
classification if it possesses more than one of the
characteristics listed in the table.
6.4 The properties of mixtures of two or more
chemicals should be determined experimentally or
estimated using accepted principles, such as those in
ISO 10156, CGA P20 and P23.
NOTE 3: The experimentation or estimation may be
performed by the user, or the user may rely on experimental
results or estimations by accepted principles performed by
others and reported in a document, such as an MSDS.
NOTE 4: A list of some chemicals used in the semiconductor
industry and their classification symbols appears in Related
Information 1.
7 Separation
7.1 Where practical, each chemical (except for inert
gases) should be contained in a separate cabinet.

SEMI S4-0304 © 1992, 2004 4
7.2 Containing Different Chemicals in a Cabinet
7.2.1 Except as described below, chemicals should be
contained in different gas cabinets if they do not
possess exactly the same classification symbols.
7.2.2 An inert (I) gas does not have to be separated
from any other chemical.
7.2.3 An irritant (IRR) chemical may be contained in a
gas cabinet with a chemical that is not an irritant, if the
remaining classification symbols are exactly the same.
7.2.4 A toxic (T) chemical may be contained in a gas
cabinet with a highly toxic (HT) chemical, if the
remaining classification symbols are exactly the same.
NOTE 5: Related Information 2 contains additional
information and references on the separation of chemicals, as
practiced or regulated in specific geographical regions.
