| Precautionary Statements (P-Statments) |
The GHS also has Hazard Statements which provide standardized hazard wordings. You will usually find both P- and H-statements on a label or MSDS.
In the European Union, P-statements will replace Safety phrases (S-phrases), as the GHS is phased in per Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
The codes have the form Pnxx where P stands for "Precautionary Statement". xx is a sequential numbering scheme, and the value of n refers to:
Thus, an MSDS or label might bear a statement such as "Pressurized container; Do not pierce or burn, even after use (P251)". P indicates a Precautionary Statement, the 2 indicates it is a prevention precautionary statement, and 51 is part of the numbering scheme.
