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
