Response · GHS revision 9

Does your label need P337? That depends on the hazard classes of your product, on whether it goes to the public or to professionals, and on what else is already on the label — Annex IV column 5 lets one statement remove another. Work it out from a classification →

P337 in the 24 official EU languages

A label put on the market in an EU country must carry the wording of that country's own language version of CLP — not a translation of the English one. These 24 lines are quoted from the consolidated regulation, Annex IV, and are the text to print.

Source: CELEX:02008R1272-20260501, Annex IV. © European Union, https://eur-lex.europa.eu — only the electronic Official Journal of the European Union is authentic. Irish is one of the 24 official languages and its H and P texts are printed inside the multilingual Annex tables, but no consolidated CLP has ever been published in Irish — which is why an Irish-primary label cannot be built here.

03 · Legal status

Where P337 is current

GHS is a United Nations model text, revised every two years, and each jurisdiction adopts a revision on its own timetable. A code can be legally current in one system and deleted in another — that is normal, not an error.

JurisdictionBasisStatus of P337
EU CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 CLP Annex IV, Part 2 (consolidated) Current
US OSHA HazCom 29 CFR 1910.1200 Appendix C UN GHS Rev.7 (final rule of 20 May 2024) Current

04 · On a label

P337 usually appears combined

CLP Annex IV defines combined statements as single label elements. P337 is a component of one of them — this is how you will actually see it printed.

CodeCombined statement
P337+P313 If eye irritation persists: get medical advice or attention. CLP verbatim: If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.

05 · Substances

Substances carrying P337

Every entry whose harmonised CLP Annex VI classification includes this precautionary statement. Substances with a reference page here open on this site; the rest open on ghssymbols.com. Of these, 28 are group entries such as “beryllium compounds” or “salts of hydrazine” — Annex VI gives them no CAS number, so they are listed by Index No and have no page of their own.
