Compared to the current EU system the most noticeable change are the pictograms (formerly: hazard symbols).

The GHS System is built on 16 physical, 10 health and 3 environmental hazard classes and comprises the following communication elements:
Note: While the most of the GHS pictograms have an equivalent in the old system, the pictograms GHS 04, GHS 07 and GHS 08 are completely new.
