I In case the concentration exceeds the limit
When the concentration exceeds the limit, change original plan or take one of the countermeasures
shown below:
• Countermeasure 1
Provide opening for ventilation.
Provide 0.15% or more opening to floor space both above and below door, or provide opening without
door.
• Countermeasure 2
Provide gas leak alarm linked with mechanical ventilator.

(kg/m 3 )
same calculations by shifting to the
