It is best to store gas cylinders in a storage area specifically designated for gas cylinders. The regulations describe such storage areas as open storage areas.
An alternative is a closed storage area, but this usually involves structural constructions that must adhere to stricter requirements. Closed storage areas are less common.
Compressed, liquefied, or solution-based gases are classified into 4 groups based on their main characteristics. The VLAREM II regulations always refer to these groups. It is important to inventory them by type and the group to which they belong.
