Product information "Giese-GEF Hazard Label Class 4.2 (Spontaneously Combustible Substances), 100 x 100 mm, Self-Adhesive Film, Roll of 1,000, 420-10-1"
The Class 4.2 hazard label goes on packages containing spontaneously combustible substances. The upper half is white, the lower half red, and it features a black flame. The roll from Giese-GEF in Offenbach am Main contains 1,000 labels, measuring 100 x 100 mm, on self-adhesive film in accordance with BS 5609.
Applications
- Titanium powder, dry (UN 2546, Code S4): Label 4.2
- Phosphorus, white, dry (UN 1381, Code ST4): Labels 4.2 and 6.1
These are two examples from the list of dangerous goods. Anyone shipping phosphorus requires label 6.1 in addition to this label. A 100 x 100 mm label does not replace a large label (at least 250 x 250 mm) on containers and vehicles. The choice of labels is made by the consignor.
Design of the hazard label
Two coloured areas divide the label horizontally: white at the top, red at the bottom. The flame is black, as is the number. At the bottom is a ‘4’, not ‘4.2’ (ADR 5.2.2.2.1.3 b). This two-part design distinguishes the label from the white label with red stripes for Class 4.1 and from the solid blue label for 4.3.
Material and finish
The backing material is self-adhesive film, which, according to the manufacturer’s specifications, is seawater-resistant in accordance with BS 5609. The IMDG Code requires that markings on packages remain legible after at least three months in seawater. It does not specify a standard; BS 5609 is used as evidence, but is voluntary. The adhesive is permanent; the film is designed for both indoor and outdoor use and is UV-resistant. The roll contains 1,000 labels.

Frequently asked questions
How do I tell the difference between 4.2, 4.1 and 4.3? By the background: 4.1 is white with seven red stripes (see hazard label 4.1), 4.2 is white at the top and red at the bottom, and 4.3 is blue (see hazard label 4.3). The symbol is a flame in all cases.
How weather-resistant must a hazard label be? The ADR requires that hazard labels withstand the weather without any significant impairment to their effectiveness, and that symbols, text and numbers are clearly legible and indelible (5.2.2.2.1.6, 5.2.2.2.1.7). It does not specify a test method or a minimum duration.
Is the label also suitable for maritime transport? The manufacturer states that the film is seawater-resistant in accordance with BS 5609. Whether a package meets the requirements of the IMDG Code as a whole depends on the packaging and labelling and is the responsibility of the consignor.
