Full text of Notas referred to under section 3

Nota B Some substances (acids, bases, etc.) are placed on the market in
aqueous solutions at various concentrations and, therefore, these solu-
tions require different labelling since the hazards vary at different con-
centrations. In Annex I entries with Note B have a general designation
of the following type: nitric acid ....%. In this case the manufacturer or
any other person who markets such a substance in aqueous solution
must state the percentage concentration of the solution on the label.
Example: nitric acid 45 %. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that
the percentage concentration is calculated on a weight/weight basis.
The use of additional data (e.g. specific gravity, degrees Baumé) or
descriptive phrases (e.g. fuming or glacial) is permissible.
