Danger pictograms

GHS hazard pictograms are signs used to indicate the type of hazard during operation, storage or transportation of chemicals and materials. Pictograms are part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). This pictogram system is being developed by the UN.

Physical hazards

pictogram-img
Danger to physical condition
Explosives, mixtures and objects, including those produced to create a practical explosive or pyrotechnic effect. Explosives are substances capable of a chemical reaction with the release of gases at such a temperature and pressure and at such a speed that it causes damage to surrounding objects
Application:
  • Unstable explosives
  • Explosives, subclasses 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4
  • Self-decomposing chemicals and mixtures, types A, B
  • Organic peroxides, types A, B

Fire
Flammable gases are considered to have a certain range of flammability with air at 20 ° C and 101.3 kPa. Flammable liquids have an ignition temperature no higher than 93 °C. Solids that can easily catch fire or cause gorenje or maintain gorenje as a result of friction are also flammable.
Application:
  • Flammable gases (Class 1), liquids (Classes 1, 2, 3) and solids (Classes 1, 2)
  • Aerosols, classes 1, 2
  • Self-decomposing chemicals and mixtures, types B, C, D, E, F
  • Pyrophoric liquids and solids (Class 1)
  • Self-heating chemicals and mixtures, classes 1, 2)
  • Chemicals and mixtures that emit flammable gases in contact with water, classes 1, 2, 3
  • Organic peroxides, types B, C, D, E, F

Flame above the circle
Oxidizing substances are those that are not necessarily combustible in themselves, but support gorenje other substances, usually due to the release of oxygen.
Application:
  • Oxidizing gases, Class 1
  • Oxidizing liquids, classes 1, 2, 3
  • Oxidizing solids, Classes 1, 2, 3

Gas cylinder
Compressed, liquefied, dissolved and cooled liquefied gases belong to this category.
Application:
  • Gases under pressure
Examples:

Corrosion
Chemical products that cause corrosion of metals
Application:
  • Gases under pressure
Examples:

Hazards to human health

Skull and Crossbones
Chemicals that cause death if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
Application:
  • Acute toxicity (oral action, skin contact, inhalation exposure), classes 1, 2, 3
Examples:
pictogram-img
Corrosion
Substances causing the specified harm to health
Application:
  • Chemical products that cause skin corrosion/irritation, classes 1A, 1B, 1C
  • Chemical products causing serious eye damage/irritation, Class 1
pictogram-img
Exclamation mark
SSubstances that cause the specified harm to health, but are less harmful to health.
Application:
  • Acute toxicity (oral, skin contact, inhalation exposure), Class 4
  • Chemical products that cause skin corrosion/irritation, class 2
  • Chemical products causing serious eye damage/irritation, Class 2A
  • Skin sensitization, classes 1, 1A, 1B
  • Toxic substances that have a damaging effect on target organs (with a single exposure), class 3
pictogram-img
Health hazards
Substances and mixtures with various toxic effects on specific organs or chronic harmful effects.
Application:
  • Respiratory sensitization, class 1
  • Chemical products capable of causing germ cell mutagenicity, Classes 1A, 1B, 2С
  • Carcinogenic chemicals, Classes 1A, 1B, 2С
  • Chemicals with reproductive toxicity, classes 1A, 1B, 2С
  • Toxic substances that have a damaging effect on target organs (with a single exposure), class 1, 2
  • Toxic substances that have a damaging effect on target organs (with repeated exposure), class 1, 2
  • Substances dangerous during aspiration,
classes 1, 2

Environmental hazards

pictogram-img
Environment
Substances that have an acute or long-term negative effect on aquatic organisms.
Application:
  • Hazard (acute) for the aquatic environment, class 1
  • Hazard (long-term) for the aquatic environment, classes 1, 2
Examples:
