What P412 says
Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50 °C/122 °F.
Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50 °C / 122 °F. 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
Does your label need P412? 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 →

P412 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 P412 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 P412 |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| UN GHS | Rev.11 (2025) UN GHS Rev.11, Annex 3 | Current |

04 · On a label
P412 usually appears combined
CLP Annex IV defines combined statements as single label elements. P412 is a component of one of them — this is how you will actually see it printed.
| Code | Combined statement |
|---|---|
| P410+P412 | Protect from sunlight. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50 °C / 122 °F. CLP verbatim: Protect from sunlight. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50 °C/122 °F. |
05 · Substances
Substances carrying P412
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.
