Significance and Use

The objective of this specification is to facilitate identification of drugs in syringes filled by the user. The use of colors is intended only as an aid in identification of drug groups and does not absolve the user from the duty to read the label to correctly identify the drug prior to use.

The user may alternatively use black and white labels rather than these colored labels.

This specification is not intended to cover labels applied by the drug manufacturer. The size and background color requirements of drug labels are presented in details. The type and color requirements of printing for drug labels are presented in details.
