Reed diffuser and room spray label examples

Published 27 September 2026; rules last checked 25 September 2026. A labelling reference, not legal advice.

Three labels built in the home-fragrance tool: a reed diffuser for the EU, the same diffuser for Great Britain, and a pump room spray. Each starts from a classification entered the way a supplier's CLP data would give it, made up here for illustration. Building and previewing a label is free; you pay only to export it.

A diffuser or spray is labelled under the same rules as a candle, but its liquid base often brings classes a candle does not, such as flammability. The examples show two pictograms on one label and a single signal word.

Reed diffuser

Two pictograms side by side, one signal word: Warning. Six precautionary statements is the most Article 28(3) expects on a label, unless more are needed for the nature and severity of the hazards. The UFI shown is the worked example from ECHA's UFI developers manual.

The same diffuser for Great Britain

The same classification gives the same pictograms, signal word and statements under GB CLP. Two things differ: the supplier is the one placing it on the GB market, and there is no UFI, because GB CLP has no UFI duty since 31 December 2023.

Room spray (pump)

A spray with enough alcohol to classify as a Category 3 flammable liquid carries the flame pictogram (GHS02) and H226, and P210 keeps it away from heat and flames. Category 3 does not need the tactile warning or the child-resistant closure that some other classes bring. This is a pump spray; a pressurised aerosol is classified under a different class.

If your diffuser is classified as an aspiration hazard

A diffuser classified Aspiration Hazard 1 (H304) carries the GHS08 health hazard pictogram and the signal word Danger, and the substances responsible are named as part of the product identifier (Article 18(3)(b)). Supplied to the general public, it also needs a child-resistant fastening (Annex II, 3.1.1.2, which excepts aerosols and containers with a sealed spray attachment) and a tactile warning of danger (Annex II, 3.2.1.1).

Size, statements and the rest

• For a package of up to 3 litres, Table 1.3 of Annex I asks for a label of at least 52 × 74 mm where possible and each pictogram at least 10 × 10 mm; the examples use 60 × 100 mm bottle labels.
• Precautionary statements come from the supplier's document, six at most unless more are needed for the nature and severity of the hazards (Article 28(3)). Where Annex I lists P501, as it does for the aquatic classes, the supplier completes its wording ("Dispose of contents/container to ...").
• A flammable liquid of category 1 or 2 supplied to the general public needs a tactile warning of danger on its packaging (Annex II, 3.2.1.1); category 3, as in the room spray example, does not.
• From 1 January 2028, a label placed on the EU market or in Northern Ireland must also be printed in black on white in a single sans-serif font, with a minimum x-height and line spacing (Regulation (EU) 2024/2865, date set by Regulation (EU) 2025/2439). Great Britain has adopted none of this. The examples follow today's rules.

The reed diffuser and room spray page covers the classes a liquid base brings, and the CLP hazard statement pages give every statement and pictogram the tools use.
