What H341 means
H341 is the GHS (Globally Harmonized System) hazard statement “Suspected of causing genetic defects (mutagen).” It belongs to the Germ cell mutagenicity 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 H341 applies, GHS assigns the signal word Warning and the GHS08 (Health hazard) 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.
