Please Note:
- It is important to read the cylinder label to identify cylinder content - cylinder colour acts merely as a guide and should never be used in isolation to determine cylinder content.
- A cylinder without a label should not be used but returned to the supplier.

BOC propane cylinders can be identified either by a red hazard diamond stencilled on the body of the cylinder or by a label on the shoulder of the cylinder.
