PART 82--PROTECTION OF STRATOSPHERIC OZONE--Table of Contents
 
  Subpart E--The Labeling of Products Using Ozone-Depleting Substances
 
Sec. 82.110  Form of label bearing warning statement.

    (a) Conspicuousness and contrast. The warning statement shall appear 
in conspicuous and legible type by typography, layout, and color with 
other printed matter on the label. The warning statement shall appear in 
sharp contrast to any background upon which it appears. Examples of 
combinations of colors which may not satisfy the proposed requirement 
for sharp contrast are: black letters on a dark blue or dark green 
background, dark red letters on a light red background, light red 
letters on a reflective silver background, and white letters on a light 
gray or tan background.
    (b) Name of substance. The name of the class I or class II substance 
to be inserted into the warning statement shall be the standard chemical 
name of the substance as listed in 40 CFR part 82, appendix A to subpart 
A, except that:
    (1) The acronym ``CFC'' may be substituted for 
``chlorofluorocarbon.''
    (2) The acronym ``HCFC'' may be substituted for 
``hydrochlorofluorocarbon.''
    (3) The term ``1,1,1-trichloroethane'' may be substituted for 
``methyl chloroform.''
    (c) Combined statement for multiple class I substances. If a 
container containing or a product contains or is manufactured with, more 
than one class I or class II substance, the warning statement may 
include the names of all of the substances in a single warning 
statement, provided that the combined statement clearly distinguishes 
which substances the container or product contains and which were used 
in the manufacturing process.
    (d) Format. (1) The warning statement shall be blocked within a 
square or rectangular area, with or without a border. (2) The warning 
statement shall appear in lines that are parallel to the surrounding 
text on the product's PDP, display panel, supplemental printed material 
or promotional printed material.
    (e) Type style. The ratio of the height of a capital letter to its 
width shall be such that the height of the letter is no more than 3 
times its width; the signal word ``WARNING'' shall appear in all capital 
letters.
    (f) Type size. The warning statement shall appear at least as large 
as the type sizes prescribed by this paragraph. The type size refers to 
the height of the capital letters. A larger type size materially 
enhances the legibility of the statement and is desirable.
    (1) Display panel or outer packaging. Minimum type size requirements 
for the warning statement are given in Table 1 to this paragraph and are 
based upon the area of the display panel of the product or container. 
Where the statement is on outer packaging, as well as the display panel 
area, the statement shall appear in the same

minimum type size as on the display panel.

                                                              Table 1 to Sec.  82.110(f)(1)
