The following pictograms are associated with these hazard classes and categories. Flame The **flame** pictogram is used for the following classes and categories: - Flammable gases (Category 1A and 1B Flammable gas; Category 1A and 1B Chemically unstable gas; Category 1A Pyrophoric gas) ) - Aerosols (Category 1 and 2) - Flammable liquids (Category 1, 2 and 3) - Flammable solids (Category 1 and 2) - Pyrophoric liquids (Category 1) - Pyrophoric solids (Category 1) - Self-heating substances and mixtures (Category 1 and 2) - Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases (Category 1, 2 and 3) - Self-reactive substances and mixtures (Types B\*, C, D, E and F) - Organic peroxides (Types B\*, C, D, E and F) - Chemicals under pressure (Category 1\*\* and 2\*\*)  ![Flame Over Circle](media/image2.gif) The **flame over circle** pictogram is used for the following classes and categories: - Oxidizing gases (Category 1) - Oxidizing liquids (Category 1, 2 and 3) - Oxidizing solids (Category 1, 2 and 3) Gas Cylinder The **gas cylinder** pictogram is used for the following classes and categories: - Gases under pressure (Compressed gas, Liquefied gas, Refrigerated liquefied gas, and Dissolved gas) - Chemicals under pressure (Category 1\*\*, 2\*\* and 3)  ![Corrosion](media/image4.gif) The **corrosion** pictogram is used for the following classes and categories: - Corrosive to metals (Category 1) - Skin corrosion/irritation -- Skin corrosion (Category 1, 1A, 1B and 1C) - Serious eye damage/eye irritation -- Serious eye damage (Category 1) Exploding Bomb The **exploding bomb **pictogram is used for the following classes and categories: - Self-reactive substances and mixtures (Types A and B\*) - Organic peroxides (Types A and B\*) ![Skull and Crossbones](media/image6.gif) The **skull and crossbones **pictogram is used for the following classes and categories: - Acute toxicity -- - Oral (Category 1, 2 and 3) - Dermal (Category 1, 2 and 3) - Inhalation (Category 1, 2 and 3) Health Hazard The **health hazard** pictogram is used for the following classes and categories: - Respiratory or skin sensitization -- Respiratory sensitizer (Category 1, 1A and 1B) - Germ cell mutagenicity (Category 1, 1A, 1B and 2) - Carcinogenicity (Category 1, 1A, 1B, and 2) - Reproductive toxicity (Category 1, 1A, 1B and 2) - Specific Target Organ Toxicity -- Single exposure (Category 1 and 2) - Specific Target Organ Toxicity -- Repeated exposure (Category 1 and 2) - Aspiration hazard (Category 1) ![Exclamation Mark](media/image8.gif) The **exclamation mark **pictogram is used for the following classes and categories: - Acute toxicity -- Oral, Dermal, Inhalation (Category 4) - Skin corrosion/irritation -- Skin irritation (Category 2) - Serious eye damage/eye irritation -- Eye irritation (Category 2 and 2A) - Respiratory or skin sensitization -- Skin sensitizer (Category 1, 1A and 1B) - Specific target organ toxicity -- Single exposure (Category 3) Biohazardous Infectious Materials The **biohazardous infectious materials** pictogram is used for the following classes and categories: - Biohazardous Infectious Materials (Category 1) \* Both the Flame and Explosive pictograms are used for Self-reactive substances and mixtures (Type B) and Organic peroxides (Type B). \*\* Both the Flame and Cylinder pictograms are used for Chemicals under pressure, categories 1 and 2.   **NOTE:** Physical Hazards Not Otherwise Classified and Health Hazards Not Otherwise Classified classes are required to have a GHS pictogram that is appropriate to the hazard identified.
