Hazardous substance labeling
Hazardous substances must be clearly labeled in accordance with the CLP Regulation to ensure that risks to people and the environment are clearly identified. By using the appropriate GHS hazard labels, companies comply with the legal labeling requirements for chemicals, hazardous substances, and hazardous mixtures.
Our product range includes all nine official GHS hazard pictograms, including Flammable (GHS02), Corrosive (GHS05), Acute Toxicity (GHS06), and Hazardous to the Environment (GHS09). These self-adhesive labels are suitable for canisters, drums, containers, packaging, as well as laboratory and industrial environments.
Available in sizes 25 × 25 mm and 50 × 50 mm.
Correct hazardous substance labeling is essential for the safe handling of hazardous substances and mixtures. Internationally standardized GHS hazard symbols make it possible to identify potential risks at a glance and implement the necessary protective measures at an early stage.
Whether in industry, manufacturing, laboratories, logistics, or storage facilities, clear labeling plays a key role in occupational safety and environmental protection.
In this category, you will find high-quality hazardous substance labels in accordance with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for identifying various hazard classes. These include symbols for explosive substances, flammable materials, oxidizing substances, gases under pressure, corrosive substances, acute toxicity, as well as health and environmental hazards. The pictograms comply with the applicable requirements of the CLP Regulation and help companies meet their legal obligations for labeling products and containers.
The durable hazardous substance labels are suitable for use on drums, canisters, containers, packaging, and other units that require labeling.

Which hazardous substance label is required?
The selection of the correct hazardous substance label depends on the properties of the respective substance. While GHS02 indicates flammable substances, GHS05 identifies corrosive substances and GHS08 warns of serious health hazards. Correct labeling helps prevent workplace accidents and supports compliance with occupational health and safety regulations.
Hazardous substance labels for industry, laboratories, and storage facilities
Our hazardous substance labels are designed for professional use. They offer high visibility, strong adhesion, and help companies comply with legal requirements for labeling hazardous substances in manufacturing, warehousing, laboratories, and logistics environments.
What is hazardous substance labeling?
Hazardous substance labeling is used to make the hazards of chemicals and dangerous substances immediately recognizable. It provides information about risks to people, animals, and the environment and contributes to safe storage, handling, and disposal.
Which GHS symbols are available?
The GHS system includes nine hazard symbols:
- GHS01: Explosive
- GHS02: Flammable
- GHS03: Oxidizing
- GHS04: Gas Under Pressure
- GHS05: Corrosive
- GHS06: Acute Toxicity
- GHS07: Harmful/Irritant
- GHS08: Health Hazard
- GHS09: Hazardous to the Environment
The symbol that must be used depends on the properties of the respective substance.
When must hazardous substances be labeled?
Hazardous substances must be labeled as soon as they are classified as hazardous and are supplied, stored, or transported in containers, packaging, or other vessels. The labeling requirement is defined by the CLP Regulation.
What is the difference between hazardous substance labeling and dangerous goods labeling?
Hazardous substance labeling describes the properties of a substance according to the GHS system. Dangerous goods labeling, on the other hand, is used for the transport of dangerous goods in accordance with ADR, IMDG, IATA, or RID regulations. Depending on the application, both types of labeling may be required.
What size must hazardous substance labels be?
The size of hazardous substance labels depends on the size of the container or packaging. The pictograms must always be clearly visible and easily identifiable. Different requirements may apply to small containers.
Where should hazardous substance labels be applied?
Hazardous substance labels should be placed in a clearly visible location on the front or another easily identifiable surface of the container. The label must not be obscured or damaged.
Are hazardous substance labels weather-resistant?
Our hazardous substance labels are manufactured from durable PE film or similar materials and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They are often resistant to water, oil, and weather conditions.
Which industries require hazardous substance labeling?
Hazardous substance labeling is required in the following sectors, among others:
- Chemical Industry
- Laboratories
- Pharmaceutical Industry
- Logistics and Transportation
- Manufacturing Facilities
- Trades and Craft Industries
- Waste Management Companies
- Warehousing and Storage
What happens if hazardous substance labeling is missing?
Missing or incorrect labeling can lead to increased safety risks, violations of legal regulations, and potential fines. Proper labeling helps protect employees, emergency responders, and the environment.
