Similarly, it is asked, what is the difference between marking and labeling?
Marks are essentially identifiers used to describe package contents in more detail than just the labels. They include the proper shipping name, identification number, limited and excepted quantities, and environmentally hazardous substances to name a few.
Besides, what does a dangerous goods label indicate?
The ADR (European agreement concerning the international carriage of dangerous goods by road) regulations, state that all packages containing dangerous goods should have a warning label. The labels shall be in the form of a square at an angle of 45° (diamond shaped).
Labels must appear in their entirety and should not be placed near any other markings on the surface. They should always be visible, so never place them on the bottom of a container. If the waste has multiple hazards associated with it multiple labels should be displayed next to each other.
