3.5 Valid standards and directives

The following standards and directives refer to the handling of SF₆ gas.
However, they can still include validity for the correct handling of electrical
equipment and are therefore to be used as guidelines.

Insulating gas is a colourless and odourless, chemically neutral, inert, not
toxic and not harmful to the ozone layer. Detailed information is given in IEC
60376 and IEC 61634.
