Product information "Giese-GEF Hazard Label Class 1.6 (Extremely Insensitive Articles), 100 x 100 mm, Self-Adhesive Film, Roll of 1,000"
This Class 1.6 hazard label goes on packages containing extremely insensitive articles that are not capable of mass explosion. Giese-GEF, based in Offenbach am Main, supplies it on a roll of 1,000 labels, measuring 100 x 100 mm, on self-adhesive film in accordance with BS 5609.
Applications
Subclass 1.6 covers articles containing explosives where the risk is limited to the explosion of a single article. This distinguishes them from subclass 1.5, which covers very insensitive substances capable of mass explosion. One example is UN 0486, articles containing explosives, extremely insensitive, classification code 1.6N.
The label is intended for packages. For containers and vehicles, large labels measuring at least 250 x 250 mm are required; these do not replace a 100 x 100 mm label. The choice of marking is at the discretion of the consignor.
Design of the hazard label
Orange background, the numerals 1.6 in black, without a pictogram. The characters are approximately 30 mm high at 100 x 100 mm, with lines around 5 mm thick. The class number 1 appears in the lower half; above this, the ADR template provides space for the letter of the compatibility group. Hazard labels must be affixed to a background of contrasting colour or have an outer border.
Material and finish
The roll contains 1,000 labels on self-adhesive film. The manufacturer describes the film as seawater-resistant in accordance with BS 5609. This is relevant for maritime transport, where the IMDG Code requires that labels remain legible after three months in seawater. BS 5609 is a common standard used to demonstrate this, but it is not a mandatory standard.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 1.5 and 1.6? Both labels look almost identical; only the numerals at the top differ. Class 1.5 refers to very insensitive substances capable of mass explosion, whilst Class 1.6 refers to extremely insensitive articles not capable of mass explosion.
Can the label be reduced in size? If the size of the package requires it, the dimensions may be reduced proportionally, provided that the symbols and other elements remain clearly visible (ADR 5.2.2.2.1.1.3). The roll itself has the minimum size of 100 x 100 mm.
Are there any other Class 1 labels? Yes, the shop lists subclass 1.4 as hazard label 1.4 and template No. 1 for 1.1 to 1.3 as Class 1 hazard labels.
