Product Label – “Document affixed to a container which identifies the product, responsible company, and provides appropriate precautionary warnings which describe hazards and safe handling measures. Product Labels also contain chemical component data and other information required by our businesses, plants and customers.” The Product Label has been divided into a number of “Sub Labels” which are areas reserved for a particular collection of information. Sub Labels can exist and be affixed to a container as separate documents or may be incorporated within a single Product Label.
Regulatory Sub Label•Company logo•Company name, address and emergency telephone number•Product name•Precautionary warnings and handling measures•First aid•Chemical components•Container warnings•Hazard Symbols
Business Sub Label•Directions for use or storage requirements•Patent statements•Slogans•“Quasi-regulatory” information such as
NSF or Kosher marks
Transportation Sub Label•Transport symbol•UN Number•Proper shipping name•Technical description•Flash point
Customer Sub Label•Customer codes•Bar codes•Customer name and address•Hazard Ratings (e.g., HMIS)
