Packaging and Package Marking5.1 General Instructions:5.1.1 Warnings, instructions, and the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor shall appear on the exterior of eachpoint of sale
21、 container in which a manufacturer packages its LVRM projectiles.5.1.2 The packaging of all LVP markers shall contain a cautionary statement. The statement shall be placed prominently on thepackage and set distinctively apart from other wording or designs.5.1.3 The label design, the use of vignettes
22、, or the proximity of other labeling or lettering shall not obscure or renderinconspicuous any labeling statement.5.1.4 All labeling statements shall appear on the principal display panel and at minimum be in the English language.5.1.5 Prominence of the statement shall be achieved by placement withi
23、n the borders of a rectangle and by use of a suitablecontrasting background.The statement shall be in uppercase bold face letters of a size bearing a reasonable relationship to the othertype on the main panel, but no less than 8-point type. The letters in the signal word shall be at least 50 % large
24、r than the lettersin the other words in the cautionary statement. The signal word shall be preceded by a safety alert symbol. It is composed of anequilateral triangle surrounding an exclamation mark. The base of the safety alert symbol shall be on the same horizontal line asthe base of the letters o
25、f the signal word. The height of the safety alert symbol shall equal or exceed the signal word height. Thesignal word shall be in black letters on an orange background. The solid triangle of the safety alert symbol shall be black and theexclamation point shall be orange. The cautionary statement sha
26、ll have either black lettering on a white background or whitelettering on a black background. When special circumstances limit the use of the warning to two colors, the colors assigned to thesignal word background may also be used for the cautionary statement letters, provided that they contrast wit
27、h the backgroundcolor of the product. When special circumstances preclude the use of safety colors on base materials such as wood, cardboard,metal, plastic, etc., the marking used should (when feasible) contrast with the background color of the base material.5.2 Warning InformationThe following warn
