Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2903Lower: 15.5% vs 38.7%

If pure heptafluoropropane without additives

Single halogenated hydrocarbons are Chapter 29; formulation for fire suppression makes it a 3827 mixture.

3824.82Lower: 13.7% vs 38.7%

If mixed with polychlorinated biphenyls

Legal notes place PCB-containing mixtures in 3824.81-3824.89.

3813.00Lower: 13.7% vs 38.7%

If when prepared as fire-extinguishing composition in cylinders

Complete fire extinguishers with HFC charges are under 3813, not bulk mixtures.
