GHS REFERENCE / PICTOGRAMS

The 9 GHS pictograms

The red-diamond symbols that make a chemical label readable at arm's length. Each page explains what the symbol means, which hazard classes put it on the label, and offers the official artwork as a free download — public domain, in SVG and print-quality PNG.

Pick a pictogram

On labels, a pictogram prints as a black symbol on white inside a red diamond frame. Which diamonds appear — and which are suppressed when a stronger one is present — is set by the classification; see each pictogram's page for its precedence rules.

Reference information, not legal or professional advice. Statement texts and allocations follow GHS Rev 9 / 29 CFR 1910.1200 Appendix C as implemented by our classification engine; the regulatory text and agency practice control. Claims last reviewed July 23, 2026.

The engine writes these for you.

When SDS HQ authors an SDS or a container label, it assigns the hazard statements, signal word, pictograms, and precautionary statements from these same tables — automatically, with the calculation shown.
