The Detail Introduction of GHS Pictograms

Posted Date:2016/6/21

Pictogram means a graphical composition that may include a symbol plus other graphic elements, such as a border, background pattern or color that is intended to convey specific information.

This section contains the recommended code assigned to each of the pictograms prescribed by the GHS for sectors other than transport.

The pictogram code is intended to be used for references purposes. It is not part of the pictogram and should not appear on labels or in section 2 of the safety data sheet.

Codification of pictograms

GHS pictograms for sectors other than transport are assigned a unique alphanumerical code as follows:

(a) the letters “GHS”; and

(b) a sequential number “01”, “02”, “03” etc. assigned in accordance with Table A3.4.1 below.
