correctly labelled. Store it in isolation until it is appropriately labelled.
If the product identifier of an unlabelled chemical is not known, this should be clearly marked
on the container, for example by attaching a label to the container with the statement:

Caution - Do Not Use - Unknown Substance.
You should take steps to either identify and correctly label the unknown chemical or dispose
of the contents in accordance with relevant environmental regulations and, where necessary,
in consultation with the relevant waste management authority.

5.2 Reviewing and updating information on labels
From time to time, the hazard classification of a hazardous chemical may change, for example where new information becomes available. Where the hazard classification of a hazardous chemical changes, the label must be reviewed and, if necessary, revised to reflect any required changes.
Importers, manufacturers and suppliers should review any new or significant information in relation to any hazardous chemicals they import, manufacture or supply. A review of the literature and other relevant sources of information should be undertaken on a regular basis.
It is good practice to review the label information of a hazardous chemical at the same time as the safety data sheet (SDS) is updated. SDSs are updated:
    * when any new information about the hazardous chemical is known or received to ensure the SDS contains correct, current information
    * at least once every five years.
If you have duty to label a workplace hazardous chemical, then you must ensure that the label contains correct information at the time it is affixed to the container of the hazardous chemical.
