 4.2.9.1 Precedence of the pictograms  
 The pictogram precedence of the physical hazard shall be determined in accordance with the 
primary/secondary hazard natures spe cified in GB  12268. For chemicals which are not listed in GB  
12268, the following hazard natures of the hazard categories shall always be the primary hazards: 
explosives, flammable gases, flammable aerosols, oxidi sing gases, gases under pressure, self -
reactive substances and mixtures, combustible substances and organic peroxides. The determination 
of other primary hazards shall be conducted in accordance with the precedence determination 
methods of the hazardous natures specified in the “ UN Recommendations on the Transport of 
Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations”.  
 Health hazards  shall be in  accordance with the following precedence : if the skull or crossbones 
applies, the exclamation mark should not appear; if the corrosive symbol applies, the exclamation 
mark  should not appear where it is used for skin or eye irritation; if the health hazard symbol 
appears for respiratory sensitis ation, the exclamation mark should not appear where it is used for 
skin sensiti sation or for skin or eye irritation.  
 4.2.9.2 Precedence of t he signal words  
When multiple ha zards exist, if the signal word  “Danger” is selected, then the signal word 
“Warning” should not appear.  
 4.2.9.3 Precedence of the hazard statement  
 All hazard statements shall appear on the precautionary label  and shall be listed in  order of physical 
hazard s, health hazard s and environment hazard s. 
 4.3 Simplified label  
 For chemical packag es of 100ml  or less , for the conve nience of the application of the label  the 
elements of the precautionary label can b e simplified  and shall contain o nly the chemical 
identification, pictogram, signal word, hazard statement, emergency phone number, supplier's name 
and contact phone number, and reference consulting guiding words.  - 8 -  4.4 Precautionary label examples
