from chemical to chemical, and will be dependent upon, for example, likely routes of exposure based on its physical state (i.e. whether it is a gas, liquid or solid), its packaging and its intended use.

Examples of the most significant hazard
    * The information relating to a hazardous chemical's inhalation hazard properties may be considered most significant for a paint that is intended for application using a spray gun,
       but not where it is intended for application using a brush.
    * The information relating to dermal toxicity may be considered most significant for a chemical that is packaged in an ampoule (i.e. where spillage could occur during opening), but not where the chemical is packaged in a ready-to-use syringe.
For hazardous chemicals with multiple hazard categories, the most stringent set of precautionary statements should be selected. This is appropriate for situations where rapid action or response may be crucial following accidental exposure, and therefore, information relating to these actions should be included in preference to non-critical information.

Example of the most stringent set of precautionary statements
    * If a chemical can cause long term systemic effects, and is also acutely toxic, then the first aid measures for acute toxicity will normally take precedence over those for longer term effects. However, medical attention for the delayed health effects may be required in some cases
      of incidental exposure, even if it is not associated with immediate symptoms of exposure. Therefore, the information relevant to medical attention that is required due to delayed health effects may be applicable.
Where certain hazard or other information has been omitted from the label, then it is recommended that alternative means for communicating the information should be used. The complete set of hazard and other information may be included on an outer box (for example for a box containing several very small ampoules), a swing tag or insert, or a leaflet inside a box.
Examples of acceptable labels for small containers are provided in Appendix H.

3.2 Research chemicals or samples for analysis
A research chemical is a substance or mixture that has been manufactured in a laboratory for the purposes of genuine research and which is not for use or supply to others for a purpose other than genuine analysis or research. A chemical that is supplied commercially to another workplace is not included under the meaning of research chemical or samples for analysis under any circumstances.

Regulation 335, Part 3 of Schedule 9: If a hazardous chemical is used for research purposes only or is a sample for analysis, the label must, at a minimum, be written in English and include the product identifier and a hazard pictogram or hazard statement that is consistent with
