New from HazChem Systems

We are pleased to announce that we are now able to provide Hazchem and Kemler panels.

All our panels are made to order and produced on high quality reflective vinyl. Contact us now to discuss your requirements - 0161 339 0821.

HazChem Panel

It is most common accepted practice  for vehicles running under UK regulations to carry all the necessary details on a combined panel, usually referred to as the Hazchem Panel.This example shows a Hazchem Panel with Hazchem Emergency Action Code The four-digit UN Substance Identification Number identifies the substance in transit and the panel contains the specialist advice telephone number.

Kemler Panel

Vehicles running under International (ADR) regulations display an orange board with a 3-digit ADR Kemler Code instead of an Emergency Action Code.  The UN number is beneath, as with UK transport. Vehicles running under ADR tend not to have integrated Hazchem boards, with the class diamonds (referred to as 'placards' in the ADR regulations) being displayed separately.  There is no requirement under ADR for an emergency telephone number. This example shows a Kemler Panel

Important Changes to Hazard Labels

2009 saw the introduction of new IATA Cargo Aircaft Only, and Excepted Quantity Labels.There are also new labels for Lithium Batteries and the Marine Pollutant triangle was replaced with a diamond.

We stock a full range of these as well as the more familiar labels.

Package labels are used on cartons or pallets and require 100mm diamonds. These are supplied in Rolls of 1000 or 500 Self Adhesive Vinyl labels with backing paper for easier handling. We will provide smaller quantities if required - please ask.

Transport labels are 250mm diamonds for use on containers or trailers and are supplied individually on heavy duty self adhesive vinyl. Minimum quantity is usually 25 labels but we are flexible.

Recently there has been a marked increase in the number of companies shipping under Limited Quantity restrictions and we have a full range of LQ Labels to cater for their needs.

CHIP labels are the Supply Labels which appear on individual products and provide safety information for the end user of the sustance as specified by the Safety data Sheet.

We can supply Blanks with the correctly positioned Orange Background blocks for overprinting by software packages such as Athena Advantage. These labels are produced on A4 synthetic sheets and are available in a variety of layouts from 2 - 16 labels per sheet.


If you need any advice in selecting your labels or you are unsure of the requirements we would be happy to help.

We look forward to hearing from you!
