What are some common safety labeling errors?

Apr 22, 2026 Leave a message

1. Non-standard product name: Using codes, numbers, or commercial names instead of standard Chinese names, such as labeling "Cleaning Agent A" instead of "Chlorine-containing Disinfectant," will lead to regulatory disapproval.

2. Missing or incorrect pictograms: Failing to match the corresponding hazard category according to the GB 30000 series standards, such as not using a "flame" icon for flammable liquids, or using a "skull" icon for corrosive substances.

3. Inappropriate use of signal words: High-risk substances (such as strong acids) should use "Danger," and low-risk substances should use "Warning." Confusing use will be considered non-compliant.

4. Incomplete or incorrect hazard statements: Failure to cite standard H-statements, such as "causes severe skin burns" should be H314. Omissions or self-made descriptions are all violations.

5. Missing or Mismatched Precautionary Statements: Missing Precautionary Statements (P280), "Avoid Skin Contact" (P391), or statements that do not reflect the actual risks.

6. Label Content Inconsistent with SDS: Information on ingredients, hazard levels, and emergency response measures listed on the safety label must be completely consistent with the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Failure to do so will be considered "document falsification."

7. Invalid or Missing Emergency Contact Numbers: Failure to provide a 24-hour emergency contact number for chemical accidents, or having the number unreachable or answered by unauthorized organizations, all violate regulations.

8. Loose or Improperly Placed Labels: Using transparent tape for temporary application, labels peeling off, or being placed in concealed locations such as seals or bottoms, affecting readability.

9. Use of Outdated Regulations or Standards: Continuing to use GHS Version 2 labels without transitioning to Version 11 will pose future compliance risks.

10. Simplified Labeling for Small Packages: While simplified labeling is permissible for packages with a volume ≤100mL, it must still include at least the following: chemical name, pictogram, signal words, hazard statement, emergency contact number, and supplier information. Missing any one of these items will result in disqualification.
