GHS Labels for Hazardous Substances
GHS labels are based on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). This internationally standardized system classifies chemicals and provides guidelines for labeling containers. These hazard labels are easily recognized by their red-and-white pictograms, which indicate the specific risks associated with the substance.
Hazards are categorized by type, such as explosive materials, gases, or flammable liquids.
Required Information on Hazardous Substance Labels
To ensure users and consumers can quickly identify potential risks, GHS-compliant labels must include the following mandatory details:
- Substance name
- Signal word (e.g., “Danger” or “Warning”)
- Hazard statements
- Precautionary statements and pictograms
- Supplier’s name, address, and telephone number
- Net quantity
- Additional information, if applicable
Label size requirements vary based on container capacity.
Important: We do not assume responsibility for the accuracy of your GHS labels. Before printing, verify that your labels meet all requirements under GHS or CLP regulations.
