What H320 means
H320 is the GHS (Globally Harmonized System) hazard statement “Causes eye irritation.” It belongs to the Serious eye damage/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.
H320 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.
