Definition
Hazard Statements (H-Statments) are part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). Hazard statements provide standardized wording to indicate the hazards of a product including, when appropriate, the degree of the hazard.
The GHS also has Precaution Statements which provide standardized precaution wordings. You will usually find both P- and H-statements on a label or Safety Data Sheet.
In the European Union, H-statements have replaced Risk phrases (R-phrases) with the adoption of the GHS under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (20 MB PDF file). Conversions of R-phrases to H-statements are listed in Annex 7 of that document.
Additional Info
Hazard statements are assigned a unique numerical code which can be used as a handy reference when translating labels and Safety Data Sheets written in other languages. The codes are not a substitute for writing out the entire text of the statement.
The codes have the form Hnxx where H stands for "hazard statement"; n=2 for physical hazards, n=3 for health hazards, and n=4 for environmental hazards; and xx is a sequential numbering scheme.
Thus, an SDS or label might bear a statement such as "May be corrosive to metals (H290)". H indicates a Hazard, the 2 indicates a physical hazard, and 90 is part of the numbering scheme.
