APPENDIX C – ALLOCATION OF LABEL ELEMENTS (MANDATORY)
C.1
The label for each hazardous chemical shall include the product identifier used on
the safety data sheet
C.1.1
The labels on shipped containers shall also include the name, address, and
telephone number of the manufacturer, importer, or responsible party.
C.2
The label for each hazardous chemical that is classified shall include the signal
word, hazard statement(s), pictogram(s), and precautionary statement(s) specified in C.4 for each
hazard class and associated hazard category, except as provided for in C.2.1 through C.2.4. For
unclassified hazards, the label shall include a description of the hazards and appropriate
precautions for safe handling and use under supplementary information.
C.2.1

appear;

If the signal word “Danger” is included, the signal word “Warning” shall not

C.2.1.2
If the skull and crossbones pictogram is included, the exclamation mark
pictogram shall not appear where it is used for acute toxicity;
C.2.1.3
If the corrosive pictogram is included, the exclamation mark pictogram shall not
appear where it is used for skin or eye irritation;
C.2.1.4
If the health hazard pictogram is included for respiratory sensitization, the
exclamation mark pictogram shall not appear where it is used for skin sensitization or for skin or
eye irritation.
C.2.2

Hazard statement text

C.2.2.1
The text of all applicable hazard statements shall appear on the label, except as
otherwise specified. The information in italics shall be included as part of the hazard statement
as provided. For example: “causes damage to organs (state all organs affected) through
prolonged or repeated exposure (state route of exposure if no other routes of exposure cause the
hazard)”. Hazard statements may be combined where appropriate to reduce the information on
the label and improve readability, as long as all of the hazards are conveyed as required.
C.2.3

Pictograms

C.2.3.1
Pictograms shall be in the shape of a square set at a point and shall include a black
hazard symbol on a white background with a red frame sufficiently wide to be clearly visible.
C.2.3.2
One of eight standard hazard symbols shall be used in each pictogram. The eight
hazard symbols are depicted in Figure C.1. A pictogram using the exclamation mark symbol is
presented in Figure C.2, for the purpose of illustration.

C.2.3.3
Where a label required by the Department of Transportation under Title 49 of the
Code of Federal Regulations appears on a container, the pictogram specified in C.4 for the same
hazard shall not appear.
C.2.4

Precautionary statement text

C.2.4.1
There are four types of precautionary statements presented, “prevention,”
“response,” “storage,” and “disposal.” The core part of the precautionary statement is presented
in bold print. This is the text, except as otherwise specified, that shall appear on the label. Where
additional information is required, it is indicated in plain text.
C.2.4.2
When a backslash or diagonal mark [/] appears in the precautionary statement
text, it indicates that a choice has to be made between the separated phrases. In such cases, the
manufacturer, importer, or responsible party can choose the most appropriate phrase(s). For
example, “Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection” could read
“wear eye protection”.
C.2.4.3
When three full stops […] appear in the precautionary statement text, they
indicate that all applicable conditions are not listed. For example, in “Use explosion-proof
electrical/ventilating/lighting/.../equipment”, the use of “...” indicates that other equipment may
need to be specified. In such cases, the manufacturer, importer, or responsible party can choose
the other conditions to be specified.
C.2.4.4
When text in italics is used in a precautionary statement, this indicates specific
conditions applying to the use or allocation of the precautionary statement. For example, “Use
explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/.../equipment” is only required for flammable
solids “if dust clouds can occur”. Text in italics is intended to be an explanatory, conditional note
and is not intended to appear on the label.
C.2.4.5
Precautionary statements may be combined or consolidated to save label space
and improve readability. For example, “Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame,” “Store in
3

a well-ventilated place” and “Keep cool” can be combined to read “Keep away from heat, sparks
and open flame and store in a cool, well-ventilated place”.
C.2.4.6
In most cases, the precautionary statements are independent (e.g., the phrases for
explosive hazards do not modify those related to certain health hazards and products that are
classified for both hazard classes shall bear appropriate precautionary statements for both).
Where a chemical is classified for a number of hazards, and the precautionary statements are
similar, the most stringent shall be included on the label (this will be applicable mainly to
preventive measures). An order of precedence may be imposed by the manufacturer, importer or
responsible party in situations where phrases concern “Response.” Rapid action may be crucial.
For example, if a chemical is carcinogenic and acutely toxic, rapid action may be crucial, and
first aid measures for acute toxicity will take precedence over those for long term effects. In
addition, medical attention to delayed health effects may be required in cases of incidental
exposure, even if not associated with immediate symptoms of intoxication.
C.3

Supplementary hazard information

C.3.1
To ensure that non-standardized information does not lead to unnecessarily wide
variation or undermine the required information, supplementary information on the label is
limited to when it provides further detail and does not contradict or cast doubt on the validity of
the standardized hazard information, or when it provides information about unclassified hazards.
C.3.2
Where the manufacturer, importer, or distributor chooses to add supplementary
information on the label, the placement of supplemental information shall not impede
identification of information required by this section.
C.3.3
Where an ingredient with unknown acute toxicity is used in a mixture at a
concentration ≥ 1%, a statement that × percent of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of
unknown toxicity is required on the label.
