Written by Jaap Lubbersen | Laste update: 23-10-2020
Hazard symbols or CLP pictograms are clear and recognizable signs added to the packaging of products containing dangerous substances, such as fertilizers and chemical plant protection products. All hazardous symbols or CLP pictograms ensure that transporters and users are aware of the risks brought by the products. This is very important for the safe transport and use of the products. It is therefore essential to be aware of the meaning of all hazard symbols. For this, meanings of the icons are listed below.
Overview of all hazard symbols / CLP icons
Tip: Print the overview of the hazard symbols to be able to hang it next to the chemical cabinet (make sure to regularly check if the overview is still up to date)
Old and new hazard symbols / CLP icons
June 1st, 2015, the EU-GHS introduced new hazard symbols / pictograms, which are used internationally. Various old hazard symbols have expired or have been given a different meaning.
Please note that products produced after June 1st must be marked with the new CLP icons. Products produced before June 1st, 2015 with the old CLP pictograms on the label could be sold until the 1st of June 2017. Products with the old CLP icons can still be used as usual; no re-labelling is required.
