I. Chemical Identification
Chinese and English Names: Prominently placed at the top of the label, with Chinese characters above and English characters below. The name must be consistent with the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Key Component Information: For mixtures, the names and concentrations or concentration ranges of the key components contributing to their hazard classification must be indicated, typically not exceeding five key components.
Hazardous Goods Number: Marked with the United Nations Number (UNNO) and the China Dangerous Goods Number (CNNO) for global transport identification.
II. Pictograms: Standardized graphic symbols with a red frame, white background, and black image. There are nine categories, such as flame (flammable), skull (highly toxic), corrosive, and explosive.
Graphics must be clearly legible, even in smoke, at a distance, or under partially obscured conditions.
When multiple hazards coexist, they should be ordered according to their primary and secondary hazards. Conflicting symbols must not be reused (e.g., if a skull is already used, an exclamation mark should not be used to indicate toxicity). III. Signal Words
"Danger": Used for high-risk categories (e.g., explosives, highly toxic substances, flammable gases).
"Warning": Used for lower hazard levels (e.g., skin irritation, low acute toxicity).
When multiple hazards exist, only the most severe signal word, "Danger," should be used.
IV. Hazard Statements
Use standardized phrases to describe specific risks, such as "highly flammable liquids and vapors," "fatal upon inhalation," "toxic to aquatic life with long-term effects."
List all hazards in the order of Physical Hazards → Health Hazards → Environmental Hazards.
V. Precautionary Statements
Include four aspects of action:
Precautionary Measures: such as "Wear protective gloves/goggles," "Keep container tightly closed."
Incident Response: such as "In case of skin contact: immediately remove contaminated clothing and rinse with plenty of water."
Safe Storage: such as "Store in a well-ventilated place away from heat sources." **Disposal Requirements:** For example, "Dispose of waste liquid in accordance with national regulations."
Content should be concise and highlight key points.
VI. Emergency Contact Number
A 24-hour emergency contact number for chemical accidents must be provided by the manufacturer or their authorized representative.
Imported chemicals must include at least one 24-hour emergency contact number within China to ensure timely response in case of an incident.
VII. Supplier Identification
Clearly indicate the supplier's name, address, postal code, and contact number.
Suppliers include manufacturers, distributors, or other responsible parties; ensure traceability.
VIII. Reference Information Notice
The following notice must be included: "Please refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for more detailed information."
Guide users to obtain complete safe handling, first aid, fire fighting, and ecological data.
