What H313 means
H313 is the GHS (Globally Harmonized System) hazard statement “May be harmful in contact with skin.” It belongs to the Acute toxicity (dermal) hazard class and appears in Section 2 of a Safety Data Sheet and on the product label when a substance or mixture meets the classification criteria for that class and category.
H313 is a lower-tier statement to which GHS assigns no pictogram or signal word on its own. It still communicates a real hazard and belongs on the SDS and label where the criteria are met.
