APPENDIX H – EXAMPLE LABELS

This appendix contains example labels that have been produced in accordance with the labelling system described in this Code (in some cases they have been reduced in size for the purpose of presenting in this document). Examples 1-4 are prepared for a hypothetical hazardous mixture, Flammosol. Flammosol contains 95% aliphatic hydrocarbons and 5% toxicole and is classified as
a flammable liquid (Category 2), acute toxicity – oral (Category 3) and skin corrosion/irritation (Category 2).
Note: it is assumed that toxicole is an acceptable technical name.
Example 1: Flammosol label containing the full set of workplace labelling information

The general precautionary statements 'Read label before use' and 'Keep out of reach of children' have been included. Inclusion of these statements is not mandatory. In accordance with precedence rules described in Appendix E, the exclamation mark hazard pictogram and 'Warning' signal word have been omitted and duplicate precautionary statements have not been included.
