Sample HCS 2012 Primary Container Label
The HCS 2012 primary container label (see image) provides an immediate visual reminder of the hazards of a chemical.
It isn't necessary to list every hazard of the chemical on the label. The safety data sheet (SDS) is used for this purpose.
Manufacturers, importers, and distributors will have to assess the evidence regarding the product's hazards. They must also consider exposures under normal conditions of use or in foreseeable emergencies when evaluating what hazards are listed on the label. This is not to say that only acute hazards are to be listed on the label, or that well-substantiated hazards should be left off the label because they appear on the data sheet.
