Hazard information indicates the various hazards, risks, and safety practices associated with handling a product. In Comply Plus, this information is organized into two main areas:
● Hazard Ratings: A product's ratings as shown in the following pictograms:
● NFPA (US National Fire Protection Association) "fire diamond"
● HMIS (US Hazardous Materials Identification System, before April 2002) "color bar"
● HMIS III (US Hazardous Materials Identification System, after April 2002) "color bar"
Any or all of these pictograms appear on the Lot Home page (depending on administrative settings; see Hiding/Showing Hazard Ratings), showing the lot's ratings.
● Hazard Classifications: A product's codes, pictograms, risk and safety phrases, and other hazard indicators, as selected from various regulatory standards and labeling systems. Each classification item assigned to a lot appears on its Lot Home page, including its pictogram (if available).
Note: Comply Plus includes many standard hazard classifications and items you can assign to your products, but administrators can create new classifications as necessary. For details, see Administration: Hazard Classifications and Ratings.
Each lot may either have its own hazard ratings and classifications or adopt them automatically from its component, depending on the lot's component definition:
● SDS: Hazard ratings and classifications automatically adopted from component SDS.
● Part: Hazard ratings and classifications automatically adopted from component part.
● Lot-Specific: Hazard ratings and classifications entered directly for the lot.
For details on these component definitions and their effects, see Lot Components.

Starting at the Lot Home page (How do I get there?), do the following:
1. Under Additional Details, click Hazards.
The Hazard Ratings or Hazard Classifications page opens, depending on which was viewed last.
