705 Hazard Communication Program

Small Container Labeling

This paragraph applies where the chemical manufacturer, importer, or distributor can demonstrate that it is not feasible to use pull-out labels, fold-back labels, or tags containing the full label information required by the Standard.

For a container less than or equal to 100 ml capacity, the chemical manufacturer, importer, or distributor must include, at a minimum, the following information on the label of the container:

• Product identifier;
• Pictogram(s);
• Signal word;
• Chemical manufacturer’s name and phone number; and
• A statement that the full label information for the hazardous chemical is provided on the immediate outer package.

Containers less than or equal to 3 ml capacity, where the chemical manufacturer, importer, or distributor can demonstrate that the label interferes with the normal use of the container, no label is required, but the containers must bear, at a minimum, the product identifier.

For all small containers, the immediate outer package must include:

• The full label information required on a shipped container for each hazardous chemical in the immediate outer package. The label must not be removed or defaced.
• A statement that the small container(s) inside must be stored in the immediate outer package bearing the complete label when not in use.
