Examples of Arrangement of the GHS Label Elements are given in Annex 7 of the Second Revised Edition of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals - GHS (also known as 'The Purple Book'). The following siz graphical examples are given:
1. Combination packaging for a Category 2 flammable liquid
2. Combination packaging for a Category 1 specific target organ toxicant and Category 2 flammable liquid
3. Combination packaging for a Category 2 skin irritant and Category 2A eye irritant
4. Single packaging (200 l drum) for a Category 2 flammable liquid
5. Single packaging for a Category 1 specific target organ toxicant and Category 2 flammable liquid
6. Single packaging for a Category 2 skin irritant and Category 2A eye irritant.
The common label elements to each of these examples are: Product identifier, Signal Word, Hazard Statements, Precautionary Statements and Supplier Identification. When GHS is adopted at the country level, each particular country made require additional elements that must appear on the label or may not use all of the GHS elements. Label authors need to be familiar with both the purple book version of GHS as well as the regulations specific to the country they are authoring the label for.
