P411 — Store at temperatures not exceeding the specified temperature.
Storage statements describe the conditions the container must be kept in. No substance with a harmonised EU classification carries this code.

What P411 says
Store at temperatures not exceeding … °C/… °F. The wording is incomplete on purpose. The temperature limit, in °C and °F.
Store at temperatures not exceeding the specified temperature. How it usually reads on a label. We show it separately rather than presenting a filled-in blank as the regulation's own text.
Storage · GHS revision 9
Reading the official wording. … is a blank the supplier fills in — not a truncated sentence.· [square brackets] mark a part printed only when it applies. · A slash offers a choice, as in POISON CENTER/doctor.
Does your label need P411? 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 →

P411 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 P411 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.
| Jurisdiction | Basis | Status of P411 |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| US HazCom 2012 | legacy · GHS Rev.3 UN GHS Rev.3, Annex 3 | Current |

Substances carrying P411
No substance with a harmonised classification in CLP Annex VI carries this code. That does not mean it is unused — suppliers apply it to their own mixtures.
