CLP Hazard Pictograms Guide

Hazard pictograms alert us to the presence of hazardous chemicals and help identify the type of harm they may cause. They appear as symbols within a diamond shape with a red border and white background. Multiple pictograms may be present to indicate different hazards of a single chemical. The pictograms under the new CLP system are similar to the old system but with some changes, such as replacing the harmful/irritant symbol with an exclamation mark and adding symbols for serious health hazards and gases under pressure.

Hazard pictograms

Hazard pictograms alert us to the presence of a hazardous chemical. The pictograms help us to know
that the chemicals we are using might cause harm to people or the environment. The CLP hazard
pictograms are very similar to those used in the old labelling system and appear in the shape of a
diamond with a distinctive red border and white background. One or more pictograms might appear on
the labelling of a single chemical.

CLP hazard pictograms

Explosive (Symbol: exploding bomb)

Flammable (Symbol: flame)

Oxidising (Symbol: flame over circle)

Corrosive (Symbol: Corrosion)

Acute toxicity (Symbol: Skull and crossbones)


Hazardous to the environment (Symbol: Dead tree and fish)

Youll see that the old 'harmful/irritant' symbol is missing. This has been replaced
by the exclamation mark pictogram:

Health hazard/Hazardous to the ozone layer (Symbol: Exclamation mark)

A couple of new pictograms have also been introduced:

Serious health hazard (Symbol: health hazard)

Gas under pressure (Symbol: Gas cylinder)
