What is required for chemical labels under GHS?
GHS chemical labels need to include the following 6 elements.
- Signal word: “Danger” for the most serious hazard level or “Warning” for lower risks
- Product identification: chemical name, code number or batch number
- Manufacturer details: name and contact information including address and phone number
- Hazard pictograms representing the type of health, physical and environmental risks
- Hazard statements describing the nature of the hazards of a chemical, including, where appropriate, the degree of hazard.
- Precautionary statements recommending measures that should be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposure to the hazardous chemical or improper storage or handling.
How to print GHS labels?
Our GHS Label Wizard walks you through the process for creating compliant GHS chemical labels step-by-step. Signal words, hazard and precautionary statements and pictograms are automatically filled in when you enter the chemical name or CAS number.
Review and edit your chemical label design with our user-friendly design tools. You can then download a PDF to print on our ultra resistant labels or ask us to print it for you.
What do hazard pictograms mean on chemical labels?
Hazard pictograms signal the presence of hazardous chemicals that might cause harm to people or the environment. They appear in the shape of a diamond with a distinctive red border and white background. You can have several pictograms on the same chemical labels.
Here are commonly used pictograms for you to use as a template.
