What H314 means
H314 is the GHS (Globally Harmonized System) hazard statement “Causes severe skin burns and eye damage (corrosive).” It belongs to the Skin corrosion/irritation 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.
Where H314 applies, GHS assigns the signal word Danger and the GHS05 (Corrosion) pictogram. The exact signal word and pictogram set on a finished label come from the whole classification — the most severe endpoint drives the signal word, so a milder statement can be present without changing an already-Danger label.
