CLP classification and labelling

Signal word

InnovaDocs SDS teamUpdated: 6 November 2026

Definition: The signal word under CLP Article 20 is either Danger, for the more severe categories, or Warning, for the less severe ones, and only one appears on a label.

If any classification requires Danger, Warning is not used. Some categories, such as Aquatic Chronic 3, have no signal word.

The signal word appears in SDS section 2.2 and on the label, translated into the label language.
