Product information "Giese-GEF Hazard Label Class 5.1 (Oxidising Substances), 100 x 100 mm, Self-Adhesive Film, Roll of 1,000, 510-10-1"
Class 5.1 hazard label, yellow background, black flame above a circle: this design stands for substances with a fire-promoting (oxidising) effect. The roll from Giese-GEF (Offenbach am Main) contains 1,000 labels measuring 100 x 100 mm on self-adhesive film in accordance with BS 5609.
Applications
According to the manufacturer, the label warns of violent reactions, ignition and explosion upon contact with flammable substances. It is affixed to packages and overpacks containing oxidising substances. Two examples from the list of dangerous goods: ammonium nitrate, solid, containing no more than 0.2 % flammable substances (UN 1942, label 5.1 only) and hydrogen peroxide, aqueous solution (UN 2014, labels 5.1 and 8). In the second case, hazard label 8 applies.
Containers and vehicles must be labelled with large labels measuring at least 250 x 250 mm. The consignor is responsible for labelling a consignment.
Design of the hazard label
The background is yellow; the flame, circle and number are black. The full designation 5.1 (ADR 5.2.2.2.1.3 a) appears at the bottom; for classes 4.1 to 4.3 and 6.1 and 6.2, however, only the number 4 or 6 appears. For 5.1, the ADR table specifies that the symbol and number must be in black only.
Material and finish
Giese prints on self-adhesive film, seawater-resistant in accordance with BS 5609, with a permanent adhesive. According to the manufacturer, the roll is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use; the film is UV-resistant. The ADR requires hazard labels to be weather-resistant, but does not specify a test method. BS 5609 is a voluntary standard and is used within the industry as proof of suitability for maritime transport. One roll contains 1,000 labels.

Frequently asked questions
What does it mean when ‘5.1’ is printed at the bottom? For classes 4.1 to 4.3, as well as 6.1 and 6.2, the label only shows the number 4 or 6 at the bottom. For classes 5.1 and 5.2, the full class number is printed at the bottom of the label.
What applies to maritime transport? The IMDG Code requires that labels remain legible after at least three months in seawater. Giese specifies that the film is seawater-resistant in accordance with BS 5609. The manufacturer does not specify which edition of the standard is meant.
How does 5.1 differ from 5.2? Hazard label 5.2 for organic peroxides is red at the top and yellow at the bottom. Label 5.1 is yellow throughout and also features a circle beneath the flame.
