Australia uses a system of classification and labelling for hazardous goods based on the United Nations system used in other countries. This system is designed to help people to quickly recognize dangerous goods, their properties and dangers.

Dangerous goods are divided into nine classes according based on their hazardous properties.

All packages and containers, shipping containers, unit loads, tankers, etc. which hold dangerous goods for transport must carry the correct Class Label. This label (or diamond sign) shows the nature of the hazard by the colour and symbol, and the Class of the goods by numeral.

The responsibility for classification of products lies with the manufacturer or person packaging the products.

We offer a full range of adhesive paper labels, vinyl stickers and signs to help identify the class of goods.
