MCA PRECAUTIONARY LABELING ACTIVIT
A Review
Accidental experience and willful experiment led man early to recognize the hazards which typify some substances. In 1450, Scotland enacted one of the first statutes governing product hazard. The Court Apothecary then ruled "that all persons are forbidden under the pain of treason to bring home poisons for any use by which Christian man or woman can take harm." From such beginnings came today's laws and regulations covering the identification of hazardous substances.
One of the earliest United States statutes in the chemical field was the Federal Caustic Poison Act (1927 I. It covered twelve caustic or corrosive substances in certain concentrations, in containers "suitable for household use." Interpretation and enforcement was by the Food and F>rug Administration. In its simplest terms, packages of the speci fied materials were required by law to carry labels containing the word "POISON" in particular type size along with an "antidote" statement.
The year 1932 saw the introduction into Congress of a Volatile Poisons Bill. A first draft contained a general definition of hazardous materials. A subsequent one followed the carlirr plan of listing specific chemicals. The second draft authorized the Surgeon General to enlarge the list after investigation. While these hills did not become Jaw, they marked a sharp acceleration in the evolution of precautionary labeling and its recognition by statutory requirement in the United States. With this came renewed awareness of responsibility by producers and by industry groups such as the Manufacturing Chemists' Association, Ine.
From such group activity came the Chemical Products Agreement Committee appointed by the Surgeon General. The wrork of this group evolved the voluntary "Surgeon General's Agreements" entered into by the U.S. chemical industry in 1934-35. The texts of the precautionary labels to he used on specific products were agreed upon and made a part of executed agreements. These continued in effect and were honored by industry until 1952. The Surgeon General then agreed to their replace ment l>y broader and more widely applicable practices formulated through the continued work of MCA and its Labels and Precautionary' Information Committee. Q
The Manufacturing Chemists Asso< iation. Ine.., and its members, had early recognized the place of precautionary labeling in relations both with its customers and with slate and federal governments. There were
5

numerous strong reasons for taking the initiative in this phase of chemical marketing. The industry had an outstanding safety record in its manufacturing units. The Association believed this safety record could be projected to the plants and homes of its customers to their mutual benefit. There was always the shadow of litigation that faces any producer as the result of real or fancied injury by a product. Chemical manufacturers had already seen the possible alternative of federal and state legislation which might or might not be wisely framed. MCA chose the path of self-correction. In 1944 it convened a confer ence on a chemical precautionary labeling code. Attended by over ninety member representatives, it resulted in the formation of the Labels and Precautionary Information Committee of the Association. This committee continues as the group longest active in this endeavor. One of its earliest concerns was the compilation of a manual on precau tionary labeling practices for chemicals. First issued in March 1945, Manual L-l of the MCA LAPI Committee has become a widely recognized text on this subject.

PRECAUTIONARY LABELING
OF
HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS
Introduction
Many products present no hazard in normal handling and storage. For these products, no precautionary statements are necessary on the label. The development of new chemical products, and the introduction of chemical processes into ever-widening fields, have accentuated the need for furnishing appropriate information in those cases where there are hazards requiring special precautions. Precautionary information should, so far as is practicable, reach every person using, handling, or storing hazardous substances.
The most practical means of disseminating this information appears to be by precautionary labels, affixed to containers of hazardous sub stances, bearing appropriate precautionary statements expressed as simply and briefly as possible. Such label information, however, cannot take the place of the education of personnel regarding product hazards and the use of safety clothing and equipment. This education is, and must remain, the direct responsibility of their employers. The wording on precautionary labels cannot he expected to cover complete information as to the properties of a material nor the complete details of its proper handling under all conditions. Such information may he found in the producers' technical bulletins or in the Manufacturing Chemists' Association's Chemical Safely Data Sheets.
To achieve uniform and adequate labeling of hazardous substances, the Labels and Precautionary Information (LAPIj Committee of the Manufacturing Chemists' Association. Inc. (MCA I offers Manual L-l
7
CMA 0 4 5 5 1 4
as a guide in preparing precautionary label texts. Part I sets forth general principles. Part II presents precautionary texts selected to illustrate the application of these principles to the major types of hazards encountered. Part III presents precautionary texts illustrating the labeling of a group of substances used in the pesticide (economic poison) field.
The labeling of radio-active materials is a complex problem outside the scope of this Guide. In preparing precantionary labels for such materials, it is suggested that reference be made to the series of hand books published by the United States Department of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards, covering the safe handling of radio active materials.
The Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service has discontinued the labeling agreements entered into some years ago with the manufacturers of a few specific chemicals. This was done be cause today adequate precautionary labels are in general use by the producers. The United States Public Health Service has approved the principles of precautionary labeling developed by MCA and continues its interest in this field in cooperation with the Association. It is felt that cooperation on the present broad basis will best serve the purpose intended when the earlier more specific agreements were made.
This Guide wilt be found extremely useful in the preporati n f precautionary text for any hazardous chemical even though the General Principles and illustrative texts were designed originally f r hazardous chemicals intended for industrial users. The precautionary texts as presented in this Guide should be used in addition to, or in combination with any specific wording re quired by law. Since individual statutes, regulations, or ordi nances may require that particular information be included in a label, that certain information be displayed in a particular man ner, or that a specific label be affixed to a container, the use of the General Principles or the illustrative texts in this Guide will not necessarily insure compliance with such laws. The specific re quirements of each such law and regulations issued thereunder must be observed in order to insure compliance. Such taws include the Federal Hazardous Substances Labeling Act and similar state and municipal legislation; the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Ac! and similar state legislation; Interstate Commerce Commissi n Regulations for Transportation of Explosives and Other Dangerous Articles; and others.

DEFINITIONS
Laws making precautionary labeling mandatory mark the evolution of labeling from its earliest beginnings. Complementary to the develop ment of such codes has been the definition of terms used in specifying such labeling. This part of the development has received extensive study by the MCA Labels and Precautionary Information Committee. This has resulted in the fid lowing definitions encompassing the modes in which substances are hazardous and the types of materials which exhibit such behavior.
Combustible liquid--Any liquid which gives off flammable vapors, above E1QF. to and including 150F., as determined by flash point with Tagliabue's Open-Cup Method as used for testing of burning oils.
Corrosive (Physiological)--A substance which in contact with living tissue causes destruction of the tissue by chemical action. This term shall not refer to action on inanimate surfaces.
Dust--Solid particles generated by handling, crushing, grinding, rapid impact, detonation, or decrepitation of organic or inorganic materials such as rock, ore, metal, coal, wood, grain, etc. Dusts do not diffuse in air but settle under the influence of gravity.
Economic Poison (Pesticide)--11) Any substance or mixture of sub stances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any insects, rodents, nematodes, fungi, weeds, or other forms of plant or animal life or viruses, except viruses on or in living man or other animals, and (2) any substance or mixture of substances intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant or desiccant.
Extremely Flammable Liquid--Any liquid which gives off flammable vapors, at or below a temperature of 2(>"F.. as determined by flash point with Tagliabue's Open-Cup Method as used for testing of burning oils.
Flammable Liquid--Any liquid which gives off flammable vapors, above 20F. to arid including f,0F.. as determined by flash point with Tagliabue's Open-Cup Method as used fin testing of burning oils.
Fume--Solid panicles generated by condensation from the gaseous state, generally after volatilization from molten metals, etc., and often accompanied by a chemical reaction such as oxidation. Fumes floccu late and sometimes coalesce.
9
CMA 0 4 5 5 1 5
Gas--A normally formless fluid which occupies the space of enclosure and which can be changed to the liquid or solid state by the effect of increased pressure or decreased temperature or both. A gas diffuses.
Hazardous Substance--Any substance or mixture of substances which is (1) toxic; (2) corrosive; (3) an irritant; (4) a strong sensitizer; (5) flammable, or which 161 generates pressure through decomposition, heat, or other means, if such substance or mixture of substances may cause substantial personal injury or substantial illness during or as a direct result of any customary or reasonably anticipated handling or use.
Irritant (Physiological)--Any substance which on immediate, prolonged, or repeated contact with normal living tissue will induce a local inflam matory reaction.
Mist--Suspended liquid droplets generated by condensation from the gaseous to the liquid slate or by breaking up a liquid into a dispersed state, such as by splashing, foaming, or atomizing.
Mixture--A physical commingling of two or more substances which may or may not bear a fixed proportion to one another and which have not reacted chemically with one another.
Oxidizing Material--A substance that yields oxygen readilv to stimu late the combustion of organic matter.
Pesticide--Same as Economic Poison
Poison--Any substance or mixture of substances which falls within an\ of the following categories;
(1) Produces death within 14 days in half or more than half of a group of 10 or more laboratory while rats each weighing between 200 and 300 grams, at a single dose of SO milligrams or less per kilogram of body weight, when orally administered; or (2 I produces death within 14 days in half or more than half of a group of 10 or more laboratory white rats each weighing between 200 and 300 grams, when inhaled continuously for a period of one hour or less at an atmospheric con centration of 2(X) parts per million or less by volume of gas or vapor or 2 milligrams or less per liter of mist, fume or dust, provided such con centration is likely to be encountered by man when the substances are used in any reasonably foreseeable manner; or (31 produces death within 14 days in half or more than half of a group of 10 or more
10
rabbits tested in a dosage of 200 milligrams or less per kilogram of body weight, when administei ed by continuous contact with the hare skin for 24 hours or less.
If available data on human experience with any substance in the above-named concentrations indicate results different fr m those obtained on animals, the human data shall take precedence in any classification of a substance as poisonous. Sensitizer--A substance which will cause on normal living tissue through an allergic or photodynamic process a hyper-sensitivity which becomes evident on reapplication of the same substance. Toxic Substance--A substance which has the inherent capacity to pro duce personal injury or illness to man through ingestion, inhalation, or absorption through any body surface. Vapor--The gaseous form of a substance which is normally in the solid or liquid state. A vapor diffuses.

PART I
Preparation of Precautionary Labels
General Principles
The following General Principles serve as a guide in the prepara tion of precautionary labels for hazardous substances.
(1) Each hazardous substance presents a distinct problem and must be treated individually in the light of its own characteristics. Conclu sions regarding the hazards of a product cannot safely be drawn either from the properties of the materials from which it is formed or by analogies based upon chemical structure. Mixtures of two or more chemicals may have properties that vary in kind or degree from those of the individual components. Any precautionary label for mixtures should be based on the prop erties of the finished product. Impurities may contribute hazardous properties and should not be overlooked.
(2) All statements on precautionary labels should be brief, accurate, and expressed in simple, easily understood terms.
(31 Precautionary labeling should be used only when and to the extent necessary. The language should be practical, not based alone upon the inherent properties of a product, but directed toward the avoid ance of hazards resulting from such use, handling, and storage as inay reasonably be anticipated. The use of precautionary labels for relatively harmless products, or the use of unnecessary words, will develop a disregard for labels and defeat their purpose as surely as will failure to give adequate notice of hazards.
(4) On labels for different products, uniformity in language to indicate the same hazards and same degree of hazard is most desirable in order to gain greater understanding through standardization.
(5) The following subject matter should be considered for inclusion on a precautionary label:
A. Name of Product.
B. Signal Word designating degree of hazard--DANGER!, WARNING!, or CAUTION!
12
C. Affirmative Stat ment of Hazards.
D. Precautionary Measures covering actions to be followed or avoided.
E. Instructions in Case of Contact or Exposure, where ad visable. (Note: Under some laws antidotes or first aid procedures are required when the word "POISON" is used.)
Instructions for the handling and storage of containers should also be considered for inclusion on the label. This is information relating to characteristics of the container as well as those of its contents, and is discussed separately under Container Handling and Storage on Page
24. (6) The inclusion of the word "POISON" and the skull and crossbones
on a label should be limited to those cases where the product is a poison according to the definition appearing on Page 10, or where such use is prescribed by law. When used, this legend should be in addition to the other label warnings and should not take the place of the Signal Words DANGER!, WARNING!, and CAUTION! which are designed to show the relative degree of hazard.
(7) A non-descriptive code designation or trade name should not be used as the only identification of a hazardous substance. If the complete chemical name is not shown, the label should clearly state the type of chemical, e.g., "corrosive acid", "lead compound".
(8) Precautionary statements should be grouped together in a prominent location on the label and should be printed in easily legible type which is in contrast by typography, layout, or color with other printed matter on the label. The label should be affixed firmly to and in a conspicuous place on the container.
Preparation of Labels
In the preparation of a precautionary label, the compilation of all available relevant information on the product is a necessary first step. An adequate knowledge of the toxicity of the material (obtained from the literature or through laboratory tests) and data on physical and chemical properties, packaging, and methods of handling and use of the product are needed to make possible a description of the hazards. In the case of an established product, advantage should be taken of the experience of people involved in manufacturing, shipping, and using
13
thr^BTterial. All the General Principles should he kept in mind and the following information considered for inclusion on the label:
A. Name of Product This is important information for the safely of handlers and users. It is preferable that the chemical name of the product he used. The recommendations of the American Chemical Society for nomenclature should tie followed. Trade names may he used in addition to chemical names. A non-dcs rijilivc code designa tion or trade name should not he used as the only identification of a hazardous chemical. If the complete chemical name is not shown, the label should at least clearly state the type of chemical, e.g., "corro sive acid", "lead compound".
B. Signal Word This word is intended to draw attention to the pres ence of hazard, and to indicate (he degree of severity. The .Signal Words recommended are, in the order of diminishing severity of hazard:
(1) DANGER! (2) WARNING' (3) CAUTION! Degree of severity can lie expressed only in relative terms. "DANGER!" is the strongest of the three words and should he used for those products presenting the most serious hazards. "CAUTION!" is reconi mended for those compounds piesenting the least serious hazards. "WARNING!" is intermediate between "DANGER!" and "CAUTION!" Hefcrencc to the illustrative labels in Dart II of this Huide will help iu the selection of the proper Signal Word.
C. Statement of Hazards This statement should give notice of the hazards that are present in connection with the customary or reasonably anticipated handling or use of the product. Examples are:
CAUSES BURNS VAPOR EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS Many chemical products wilt present more than one type of hazard, in which ease, appropriate statements for each significant t>pe should he included on the label. In general, the most serious hazard should he slated first. While any compound may he hazardous if improperly used, it is impractical to covet met v possible contingency tin a label. Efforts should he diiecled toward giving notice of the significant hazards. A minor hazard may frequently he covered clearly and briefly by an appropriate precautionary statement alone. In some eases, the total hazard of a product, while justifying one or more Precautionary Meas
14
ures, nia be of such order as to require no Statement of llazan the label.
LX Precautionary Measures These instructions are intended to sup plement the Statement of Hazatds by setting forth briefly measures to he taken to avoid injury or damage from stated hazard*.
Examples are: Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Avoid breathing dust.
Pieeautlonary Measures may he included for hazards not considered of sufficient importance to require mention in the Statement of Hazards.
Statements similar to, "Do not take internally," deserve special attention. They are seldom necessary where the Precautionary Measure to he followed is obvious as, for example, when the product is labeled "POISON" or the Statement of Hazards contains the words, "MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED". On the other hand, the instruction may he desirable if the name, appeal anre. use, or other attributes of the chemical are likely to result in its being taken orally through accident or mistaken identity.
E. Instructions in Case of Contact or Exposure The primary pur pose of precautionary labeling is <o prevent injury or damage. How ever, Instructions in Case of Conla< 1 or Exposure may he included in those instances where the results of eon tact or exposure are seveic and immediate treatment is highly desirable, and where simple remedial measures may he taken safely by non-professional persons before medical assistance is available.
Instructions should he limited to re< ognized first aid procedures based on simple methods and commonly available materials. Instruc tions for strictly medical treatment should ho omitted except when specifically required by law or indicated b\ special circumstances.
Because of the serious and lasting effects that may result from eye injuries, a recommendation to get medical attention should accompany any specific instructions directed to treatment of the eyes.
In certain instances, simple remedial measures such as washing, or removal of clothing, may he included where they will serve to avoid serious injury following conlarl or exposure.
All precautionary information should appear on the label as a unit and should he printed in the older given above. The labels in Parts H and III illustrate suitable arrangements and indicate the relative promi-
15
CMA 0 4 5 5 1 8
nence that should he given to the individual statements. Such relative prominence may be achieved in a number of ways such as hy variation in type size, color, or layout of the printed material.
Note: Some state laws and regulations require, on labels, the use of special or strictly defined antidotes or prescribe special ways in which these must be shown for certain hazardous substances. The requiremerits for any given poison may, therefore, vary greatly, amt the impossi bility of showing, in the illustrative labels, antidotes which might be nationally acceptable has led to the practice of indicating only the need
for an appropriate first aid or antidote statement where the "POISON-
skull and crossbones" legend is used.
Table 1, on Pages 20 and 21, is intended as a guide in the seleetion of precautionary' statements for labels. Listed are classifications of mate rials according to the hazardous properties most frequently encountered. Opposite ear h classification are given Statements of Hazard, Precaution ary Measures and, in most cases. Instructions in Case of Contact or Exposure. It is important to recognize that hazardous substances can have inherent in them more than one of such hazardous properties, and that the label wording for such products should include an appropriate combination of the pertinent statements.
As each hazardous substance must he treated individually in the light of its own characteristics and customary or reasonably anticipated handling or use, there w'ill he many instances in which the illustrative statements in Table 1 will not he applicable, either because they do not accurately express the degree of hazard or because they fail to cover the particular characteristics. In such cases, suitable statements should be chosen to fit the situation. The illustrative labels in Part 11 of this Guide mayr he helpful in the choice of appropriate wording.
EXAMPLE OF LABEL PREPARATION
To give as complete an illustration as possible of the procedure to be used in writing a precautionary label. Ethylene Chiorohydrin has been selected. A study of available physical, chemical, and toxicological data shows that this chemical presents several hazards for consideration. It is a poison, as defined in this Cuide, by skin absorption and is dangerously toxic by oral ingestion and by vapor inhalation. On con tact it can cause serious damage to the eyes. There is a hazard of combustibility since the flashpoint of the liquid is 1U) 'F.. which is within the range of combustibility in Glass of Hazard I-C in Table 1. A special hazard of Ethylene Chiorohydrin is its nbilitv to penetrate ordinary rubber.
16
The selection of the Signal Word depends on the seriousness of the hazards and to a lesser extent on the number of hazards, fn the case of Ethylene Chiorohydrin. both major hazards--its toxicity and its ac tion on the eyes--are serious and acute. Therefore, the Signal Word "DANGER!" is indicated.
Since ethylene chiorohydrin is dangerous hy any type of contact with the body, strong Statements of Hazard should be used. As far as possible, hazards should be listed in the order of decreasing importance. Thus, from Table 1, Classes of Hazard 111, IX, and X. appropriate State ments of Hazard are selected to describe the various hazards.
From III: VAPOR EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS VAPOR MAY BE FATAL IF INHALED
From IX: EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS LIQUID ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN
From X: MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED
For brevity and better emphasis, the above statements arc combined ami rearranged:
EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS LIQUID AND VAPOR MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED, INHALED, OR
ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN
For the major hazard of eye damage, the appropriate Statement of Hazard as selected from Table 1, Class of Hazard VII, is modified to:
CAUSES BURNS TO EYES
The Statement of Hazard "COMBUSTIBLE" is not necessary I ex cept as required by law I. since the Precautionary Measure. "Keep away from heat and open flame." is considered adequate.
Since ordinary ruIdler protective clothing, including gloves, will not eliminate the hazard of skin absorption, a special Precautionary Statement to this effect should be prepared and included.

Labels for Small Commercial Packages
The General Principles governing the preparation of precautionary labels discussed in Part I and the illustrative labels in Part II of this Guide have been developed primarily for bulk packages of chemicals intended for industrial use. The General Principles may be applied, however, to chemicals packaged in small containers. These may include, among others, hazardous substances in retail packages intended for the ultimate consumer; highly purified chemicals intended for research, testing, or control; and chemicals intended for professional use such as in pharmacy.
As stated in the General Principles on Page 12, each hazardous substance presents a distinct problem and must be treated individually in the light of its own characteristics. This same principle will apply to small containers. Small containers may present a problem of less available space for labeling purposes. Careful and selective shortening of precautionary statements for such containers may be in order if necessary to permit legibility, or if the wording on labels for the chemical in industrial packages is not applicable. Consideration should always be given to (1) the intended or reasonably anticipated handling or use of the particular product, (2 V the training and experience of the expected user, and (3) the extent to which the hazard is modified by the size or type of container.
The following principles are recommended for condensation of suggested label wording where necessary or advisable:
(1) Retain the Signal Word;
(2) Retain the Statement of Hazards, shortened if necessary to a practical equivalent;
(3) Consider omission of Precautionary Measures if they are clearly indicated or implied from the Statement of Hazards or can be clearly indicated or implied by revising the Statement of Hazards;
(4) Consider omission of wording relating to hazards that may be less serious because of the particular characteristics of the package, the nature of the use, and the training and experience of the user. Care must be taken to include Precautionary Measures for any additional hazard which may be present as a result of such characteristics, use, or training and experience.
Care should be taken that labels prepared in accordance with the ab ve principles include all information required by law.
22
Labels for Samples and for New Products for Investigational Use
Samples: In general, the label for samples of a product should bear the same
precautionary information that is on the commercial label, with the exception of possible differences in container instructions. If the prod uct is not in commercial production, the label for samples should be prepared in accordance with the General Principles stated on Page 12 in this Guide.
New Products for Investigational Use: Chemical, physical, and toxicological data should be obtained on any
product before it is distributed, so that hazardous properties can be described on the label. However, it may occasionally be necessary to make delivery of a new product for investigational use before all of these data are obtained. For instance, the quantity available may be too small for necessary tests, or the product may have to be delivered to investigators for the purpose of obtaining the desired information. These deliveries should be made to qualified investigators only, and should be labeled as adequately as possible with the information avail able. To cover such cases (and such cases only) the following illustra tion is suggested for preparing labels to be used during the period of investigation.
(NAME OR DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT;
FOR INVESTIGATIONAL USE ONLY
SIGNAL WORD! STATEMENT(S) OF KNOWN HAZARD(S)
Appropriate precautionary measures. Appropriate instructions in case of contact or exposure.
IMPORTANT! The chemical, physical, and toxicological properties of this product have not been fully investigated, and its handling or use may (be hazardous) (present additional hazards). Exercise due care.

CONTAINER HANDLING AND STORAGE
Care should always be exercised in handling and storing containers
of hazardous chemicals and in removing the contents. The Chemical Packaging Committee of the Manufacturing Chemists' Association, Inc., has recommended the general precautions given below for handling and storing certain classes of containers. Applicable phrases may be selected from these statements. These may be used either as separate labels or in combination with the precautionary labels illustrated in
Part II. Where the properties of the substance require special or addi
tional precautions, such instructions are indicated in some instances in
conjunction with the individual label in Part II.
Metal Drum Handling and Storage (tor fluids and semi-liquid*)
Keep plug up to prrvcnl leakage. Keep drum out of sun and away from heat. Relieve internal pressure when received and at least weekly thereafter by
slowly loosening plug. Retighten immediately. Drums should he grounded when being emptied. Do not drop or slide across sharp projection. Never use pressure to empty. Itnun is not a pressure vessel. Keep lights, fire, and sparks away from drums. Drum must not be washed out or used for other purposes. Replace plug after each withdrawal and relurn with empty drum. In case of spillage, Hush with plenty of water.
Glass Carboy Handling and Storage
Before moving carboy he sure closure is securely fastened. Avoid rough handling or dropping. Loosen closure carefully. Keep carboy out of suu and away from heat. Never use pressure lo empty. Carboy is not a pressure, vessel. Completely drain carboy before returning. In ra<e of spillage, finch willi plenty of water.
Wood n Barrel Handling and Storage (for liquids and semi-liquid*)
Keep barrel out of sun and away from heat. Store with bilge hung up. Never use pressure to rmply. Drain completely. Keep barrel moist shrinkage may cause leaks, fn case of spillage, flush wilh plenty of waler.
24
Cylinder Handling and Storage
Krrji cylinder out of sun and away from beat. Never drop cylinders. Keep cylinders locked vertically to prevent falling and/or dropping. Be sure connections are tight. ICC Regulations prohibit refilling cylinder without permission o 1 owner. Have airline respirator or self-contained oxygen respirator available for
emergency.
Aerosol Containers
The term "aerosol container" is generally applied to a container which holds its contents under pressure and is equipped with a dis pensing nozzle designed to release the container's contents through a very small orifice. While a true aerosol is a mist or spray of fine parti cles or droplets suspended in air, aerosol type containers are used for packaging and dispensing many products which do not form true aerosols on release. Thus, there are aerosol products dispensed as depositing sprays (paints or insecticides) or as semi-liquid froths (whipping cream or shaving lather). In all cases, aerosol containers require more care in handling and storage than similar unpressurized containers, and particularly require protection from elevated tempera tures. When the contents are released as an aerosol or fine spray, there may be greater flammability or inhalation hazard than would be pre sented by the same product in other types of packaging and use.
The Chemical Specialties Manufacturers Association suggests the following precautionary text for the pressure hazard presented by a metal aerosol container:
WARNING! Contents under pressure. Do not puncture.
Exposure to heat or prolonged exposure to sun may cause bursting. Do not throw into lire or incinerator.
NOTE: Additional requisite cautions for statements as to hazards to persons and prop erty, the safe discharge of contents, etc. will depend upon the particular product
Appropriate modification of the above text may be required for an aerosol container made of a non-metallic material. Also, additional precautionary labeling may he needed to warn against hazards presented by the contents of an aerosol container after release. Special test pro cedures developed by the Chemical Specialties Manufacturers Associa tion are used in determining the flammability hazards of products in aerosol containers.

MANUAL L-l-SIXTH EDITION 1961
In this new edition of Manual L-l, certain illustrative label texts have been added to illustrate specific new material types. Other texts which appeared in the 5th Edition have been revised in order to recog nize new information concerning the products' properties, or in con sideration of revised Container Handling and Storage precautions as set forth on Page 24. Finally, some texts have been deleted since the labeling principles which they illustrated are adequately illustrated by other texts in this Guide.
The fact that a label text formerly used in Manual L-l is deleted from this edition does not imply that the material no longer requires precautionary labeling. Furthermore, the omission of a label text for a particular product does not indicate that the product does not require precautionary labeling.
Individual statues, regulations, or ordinances may require that
particular information be included in a label or that a specific label be
affixed to a container. In each case, the requirements of such laws should
be studied.

PART II
Illustrative Labels for Hazardous Chemicals
The precautionary labels in this section have been prepared to demonstrate the practical application of the General Principles in Part I to a number of chemical products intended for industrial use. The user should familiarize himself with Part I before adapting any of the label statements contained in Part II to his products. The chemicals were selected to illustrate labeling for the major types of hazards com monly encountered. Consequently, the listing covers only relatively few of the hazardous chemicals for which precautionary labels are necessary. In many cases, these labels would be applicable to other products having the same hazards, and examples of this are listed by appropriate cross references.
The labels are based on the properties of the named chemicals; the presence of other substances, including impurities, may alter these prop erties and necessitate additional or different precautionary information.
General information regarding the handling and storage of con tainers is not included on these labels. This subject is discussed under the heading, "Container Handling and Storage", beginning on Page 24.
First aid treatment is given for a few products only. Such informa tion may he desirable on other products. Where "clothing is men tioned in first aid instructions, it should be understood to mean all articles of clothing, including shoes, garters, and other accessories. Shoes are specifically named in some instructions because of special hazards arising from absorption of the chemical by leather.
The notation, "MCA Chemical Safely Data Sheet available", appear ing with certain labels in this section, refers to Data Sheets published by the Manufacturing Chemists' Association, Inc. These publications con tain detailed information on the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties of the product, as well as information on shipping containers, labeling, storage, handling, and protective equipment. Prices and a complete list of available Chemical Safety Data Sheets may be obtained directly from the Manufacturing Chemists' Association, Inc. (See Pages 95 and 96 for complete listing of Chemical Safety Data Sheets now available.)
The. labeling of radio-active materials is a complex problem outside the scope of this Guide. In preparing precautionary labels for such
29
045525
materials, it is suggested that references be made to the series of hand books published by the U. S. Department of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards, covering the safe handling of radio-active materials.
The illustrative precautionary labels suggested in Manual L-l sh uld be used in addition to, or in combination with, any label required by law.

PART III
Illustrative Labels for Pesticides
This section contains suggested precautionary texts for a group of hazardous chemicals commonly used as, or in the formulation of, in secticides, fungicides, rodenticides, herbicides, nematocides, plant regu lators, defoliants, and desiccants. The term "Pesticide" is used in this Guide to indicate these products hut the term "Ec n mic P is n" is synonymous. Wording is based on the Genera/ Printiples set forth in Part I. Careful study should be given to Part I and the special con siderations discussed below before any suggested wording is used for a pesticide. These labels have been selected for illustrative purposes only, and the listings do not purport to cover all pesticides for which precautionary labeling is necessary. Omission of a label for ony par ticular product should not be interpreted to mean that such pr duct requires no precautionary label.
The principles in Part I apply primarily to the labeling of hazardous chemicals intended for industrial consumption, some of which are also used as, or for processing into forms of, pesticides intended for home, farm, or other ultimate consumer use. Labels for such packages of pesticides require consideration of additional factors since they will he handled, stored, and used differently from those intended for indus trial consumption. Pesticide labels should include warnings not only of hazards to man, but also of hazards to domestic animals, useful inverte brates, and desirable vegetation. The usual legally-required ingredient statement may make unnecessary a separate showing of chemical identi fication of hazardous components on labels using code or nondescriptive names.
A producer or distributor of a pesticide should be familiar with all pertinent laws, regulations, and interpretations affecting these products, including those of the federal government, slates, territories, and other political subdivisions; and with any applicable statutes, ordinances, or regulations affecting labeling in general. Statements suggested in Part III should be used in addition to, or in combinati n with, any other wording required by law.
Each suggested precautionary text in this section applies to a commercial chemical or to an indicated concentration range of a chemi cal. Many pesticides are marketed in a variety of formulations contain ing different concentrations or combinations of their ingredients. Formulations of two or more constituents may have properties that
97
vary in kind r degree fr mth se f the constituents. In all cases, the precautionary statements sh ufd be based on the pr perties
f th finished formulation.
]t has not heen practical to propose statements for all special pack ages, extraordinary uses, or other unusual circumstances surrounding individual products. Each statement is designed for the normal and customary use of a particular product when packaged for sale as a pesticide. Each labeler of a pesticide should recognize that his product must be treated individually, in the light of its own char acteristics, including, among others, concentration and grade, pack age sizes and types, channels of distribution, normal storage and transportati n conditions, intended consumers, and intended uses.
The label statements in Part III are confined mainly to measures necessary to prevent injury to man and domestic animals arising out of the ordinary handling, storage, or use of a pesticide. Additional state ments may be indicated by the particular form or manner in which a product is sold or the circumstances surrounding its use. There also may he other hazards to man or animals which can arise only from specific uses for which directions are given in the labeling. Frequently a pesticide may also be hazardous to useful invertebrates or useful vegetation, or by reason of residues on edible vegetation. The omission of reference to any of these hazards from any text in Part III does not imply that they may be disregarded. As a rule, such statements are properly incorporated in directions for use. liy way of illustration, notes directed to the foregoing appear in connection with some of the illustrative labels. Even though they may be separated from the principal warnings, they should, nevertheless, be prominently displayed.
Examples:
Do not apply within............ ........ days ot harvest. Avoid use during flowering and pollination periods. Do not consume or market fruits or vegetables until residue is
removed. Do not use this powder on drainboards, shelves or other places
where contact with food is likely. Do not allow spray to come in contact with garden plants. For protection of fish and wildlife, avoid contamination of streams,
lakes, or ponds.
The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and most state acts require the "POISON - skull and crossbones" legend and

an antidote on all "Econ mic Pois ns" deemed "highly toxic to man". The definition of "Pois n" in Part I of this Guide is similar to the definition of "highly toxic to man" in the regulations under the fed eral act. The products in this section have been classified according to the "highly toxic to man" definition. Other states, while not following the federal act on the definition of "highly toxic to man", require the "POISON - skull and crossbones" legend and antidote on all substances which are defined as "Poisons" in their poison laws.
The term "Poison" has been commonly understood by the layman to mean toxic by oral intake only. The controlling criteria should con sider oral intake, inhalation, and skin absorption. To clarify the use of the term, labels on packages of pesticides "highly toxic to man" should specify the modes of entry into the body by which the product is poisonous. Examples:
POISONOUS IF SWALLOWED POISONOUS BY SKIN CONTACT MAY BE POISONOUS IF INHALED POISONOUS IF SWALLOWED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN
It is not intended that the word "POISON" should take the place of a signal word. One of the signal words "DANGER!" or "WARNING!" will be applicable when a product is a "Poison". The selection of the appropriate word will depend not only on the degree of toxicity of the product, but more particularly on the risk of injury presented under normal conditions of handling or use. The word "POISON" (or its derivatives) should he reserved exclusively for those products coming within the definitions of the federal act as "highly toxic to man" except where it may be required by other laws or regulations. For products that are less toxic, statements like the following are preferred:
MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED HARMFUL IF INHALED OR SWALLOWED
First aid in case of contact is given for a few products only. The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and most state acts require a statement of an antidote on all "Ec nomic P isons" deemed "highly toxic to man". The term "antidote" is defined in the federal act as "a practical immediate treatment in case of poisoning and includes first aid treatment" and the regulations state that "the antidote statement shall include direction to call a physician immedi ately". Some state laws and regulations require, on labels, the use of special or strictly defined antidotes or prescribe special ways in which these must he shown for certain chemicals. The requirements for any
99
CMA 0 4 5 5 6 0
given pesticide may, therefore, vary greatly and the impossibility of showing, in the illustrative labels, antidotes which might be nationally acceptable has led to the practice of indicating only the need for an appropriate antidote statement where the "POISON-skull and crossb nes" legend is used. Such information may be desirable on other products. Where "clothing" is mentioned in first aid instructions, it should be understood to mean all articles of clothing, including shoes, garters, and other accessories. Shoes are specifically named in some instructions because of special hazards arising from absorption of the chemical by leather.
An important principle of good labeling is to avoid the indis criminate use of precautionary statements since this tends to detract from the importance which should be given to the vital warnings. Common sense indicates certain fundamental precautions in the handling of nearly all household and farm supplies and a label statement cannot substitute for it. Phrases such as "Avoid contamination of feed and fo dstuffs." and "Do not take internally." should he necessary only where the inherently high toxicity of the product, special use of the material, size of the package, likelihood of mistaken identity, or actual use experience strongly indicates their need.
