GHS Pictograms



GHS Pictograms - As of June 1, 2015, the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) will require pictograms on labels to alert users of the chemical hazards to which they may be exposed. Each pictogram consists of a symbol on a white background framed with a red border and represents a distinct hazard(s). The pictogram on the label is determined by the chemical hazard classification.
