Product information "Giese-GEF Hazard Label Class 2.1 (Flammable Gases), 100 x 100 mm, Self-Adhesive Film, Roll of 1,000, 210-10-1"
Class 2 flammable gases are indicated by hazard label 2.1, which features a flame on a red background. Giese-GEF, based in Offenbach am Main, supplies it in rolls of 1,000 labels, measuring 100 x 100 mm, on self-adhesive film in accordance with BS 5609. In the trade, this label is also known as a Class 2.1 dangerous goods label or sticker.
Applications
The label is applied to packages and overpacks containing flammable gases, for example aerosols, flammable (UN 1950), hydrogen, compressed (UN 1049) or isobutane, liquefied under pressure (UN 1969). The manufacturer describes the warning as indicating a risk of fire and explosion, as the gases are under pressure within their containers. The consignor determines the labelling requirements for a consignment in accordance with the regulations.
Design of the hazard label
The symbol is a flame in black or white, with the number 2 in the bottom corner; this may also be black or white. Visually, the label resembles that for flammable liquids (Class 3); the number distinguishes the two. On cylinders and gas cartridges for liquefied petroleum gas, the symbol, text and number may appear in the colour of the container, provided there is sufficient contrast. The ADR specifies 100 x 100 mm as the minimum size and permits a proportional reduction only if the size of the package requires it and all elements remain clearly visible.
Material and finish
Printing is carried out on self-adhesive film, which the manufacturer describes as seawater-resistant in accordance with BS 5609. This is in line with the IMDG Code’s requirement that markings remain legible after three months in seawater. BS 5609 is a voluntary standard and is not mandatory. According to the manufacturer, the film is UV-resistant and the adhesive provides a permanent bond, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The labels are supplied individually on a backing tape.

Frequently asked questions
Will the label fit on gas cylinders? For gas cylinders, the ADR specifies specific dimensions in accordance with ISO 7225:2005, tailored to the cylinder shoulder. 100 x 100 mm is the minimum size for packages in general; for cylinders, the dimensions should be checked before ordering.
Does it replace the large label on the vehicle? No. Large labels for containers and vehicles must be at least 250 x 250 mm; the roll label is intended for the package itself.
What is the difference between 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3? 2.1 refers to flammable gases. Non-flammable, non-toxic gases are marked with a green label (Class 2.2), whilst toxic gases are marked with a white label featuring a skull and crossbones (Class 2.3).
