The applicability of hazard pictograms according to the specific hazard class and hazard
category can also be found in Annex V to CLP.
The colour and presentation of your labels should allow the hazard pictogram and its
background to be clearly visible. Hazard pictograms should be in the shape of a square set
at a point (diamond shape), and should have a black symbol on a white background with a
red border (section 1.2.1 of Annex I to CLP).
Each hazard pictogram should cover at least one fifteenth of the surface area of the
harmonised label, but the minimum area shall not be less than 1 cm2.

Precautionary statements
Your labels should bear the relevant precautionary statements (CLP Article 22), giving
advice on measures to prevent or minimise adverse effects to human health or the
environment arising from the hazards of your substance or mixture. The complete set of
precautionary statements relevant for each specific classification is set out in the tables
indicating the label elements required for each hazard class in parts 2 to 5 of Annex I to
CLP.
Precautionary statements should be selected in line with Article 28 and with Part 1 of Annex
IV to CLP. Any selection should also take into account the hazard statements used and the
intended or identified use or uses of the substance or mixture. Normally, not more than six
precautionary statements should appear on the label, unless necessary to reflect the nature
and the severity of the hazards.

harmonised and included in Part 3 of Annex VI to CLP, the corresponding hazard statement
relevant for this classification should be used on the label, together with any other hazard
statement for a non-harmonised classification.
