Updates to Label Size Requirements
The requirements for label size, pictogram dimensions, and font size for letters have been adjusted. The revised version specifies font sizes, adding a column for “minimum font size.” It also sets specific requirements for labels, pictograms, and font sizes for containers with a capacity of ≤0.5L.
For inner packaging labels of containers with a capacity of ≤10ml, the font size may be smaller than specified in the table, provided that it is clear and legible. It is crucial to include key statements such as hazard statements or EUH statements, provided that the outer packaging complies with the corresponding requirements of CLP Article 17. Additionally, under certain conditions (e.g., for R&D purposes), the label elements required by Article 17 can be omitted from the inner packaging.

- a single font that is easily legible and without serifs shall be used; and
- the letter spacing shall be appropriate for the selected font to be easily legible.
