Danger symbols are used for the labeling hazardous substances after the Ordinance on
Hazardous Substances.
The Ordinance on Hazardous Substances is a regulation to safeguard versus hazardous
substances and comprises primarily the field of occupational safety. The directions of the
Ordinance on Hazardous Substances for the classification, packing, and labeling of chemicals
are valid for all fields and areas and apply, therefore, also for environmental and consumer
protection and human health.
