What H373 means
H373 is the GHS (Globally Harmonized System) hazard statement “May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure.” It belongs to the Specific target organ toxicity — repeated exposure 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 H373 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.
