The six elements

The list

Product identifier. Signal word. Hazard statements. Pictograms. Precautionary statements. And the name, address and telephone number of the chemical manufacturer, importer, or other responsible party.

Why five of them are not choices

The signal word, the hazard statements, the pictograms and the precautionary statements all follow from the hazard class and category through Appendix C. Classify correctly and the label content is determined; classify wrongly and every element is wrong together.

The product identifier ties the label to the sheet

It is how a user matches the container in front of them to the safety data sheet in the file. An identifier that differs between the two is a small inconsistency that defeats the whole system at the moment someone needs it.

And the responsible party has to be reachable

Name, address and telephone number. Not a web form and not a general inquiry line, a telephone number, because the circumstance in which somebody reads this label is usually an urgent one.

Hazards not otherwise classified

The paragraph says hazards not otherwise classified do not have to be addressed on the container. They do appear on the safety data sheet, so the label and the sheet carry deliberately different scopes.

Prominently displayed

Which is a requirement rather than a preference, and it sits awkwardly with a 100 mL bottle carrying several hazard statements. The label needs laying out against the actual container early.

And in English

With other languages permitted in addition where appropriate. So a bilingual label is fine and an English-free one is not.

A telephone number, specifically

Not a web address and not a general inquiry form. The regulation names a telephone number because the person reading this label is often reading it in a hurry, and that is worth remembering when the artwork is being tidied.
