Comprehensibility of hazard communication elements
Guiding principles: ? Information should be conveyed in more than one way ? Comprehensibility should take account of existing information
(literature, studies and data) ? Phrases indicating degree of hazard should be consistent across
different hazard types ? Words and phrases should retain comprehensibility when
translated into other languages ? Format and colour of the label elements, and SDS format should
be standardized

Updating information
Labels and Safety Data Sheets should be updated when new and significant information is available for a chemical "New and significant information" means any information that changes GHS classification and leads to a change in the information to be provided in the label or in the SDS
