Structure of hazard information
The following two examples show how hazard information is structured in principle. A tri-
angle is used to warn you about danger to living things. If there is no triangle, the hazard
information refers exclusively to damage to property.
The text next to the icons is structured as follows:

The color of the border shows how severe the hazard is: the darker the color, the more severe
the hazard is.
The icon in the rectangle represents the hazard.

advisory).
