CLP hazard pictograms
Annex V assigns GHS01 to GHS09. The symbol names are exploding bomb through environment
Direct answer. In the consolidated text of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, CELEX 02008R1272-20260701 (EN, 01.07.2026; reference line 02008R1272 — EN — 01.07.2026 — 031.001), Annex V is titled “HAZARD PICTOGRAMS.” It assigns GHS01 to the symbol exploding bomb, GHS02 to flame, GHS03 to flame over circle, GHS04 to gas cylinder, GHS05 to corrosion, GHS06 to skull and crossbones, GHS07 to exclamation mark, GHS08 to health hazard, and GHS09 to environment. GHS05 and GHS07 each appear in more than one part of the annex. The hazard classes printed beside each code are in the table below. The consolidation shows pictogram specimens. This page does not reproduce them. This page is not legal advice.
