R-phrases (short for Risk Phrases ) are defined in Annex III of European Union Directive 67/548/EEC : Nature of special risks attributed to dangerous substances and preparations .

One in every five pounds in the UK economy is dependent on developments in chemistry research, according to a new report commissioned by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Industries reliant on chemistry contributed an astonishing £258 billion to the UK economy in 2007 - equivalent to 21% of UK GDP and supported six million jobs, accounting for at least 15% of the UK's exported goods and attracting significant inward investment.

NFPA 704 is a standard maintained by the U.S.-based National Fire Protection Association.
