Product details
Match the exact Class 6.2 face to the requirement
This artwork is the infectious-substance dangerous-goods diamond with the biohazard symbol, INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCE wording and class number 6. Confirm that the substance or load is classified for this face; do not substitute it for a general laboratory or room biohazard notice.
Choose the 150 mm square material
Polypropylene is the default rigid option. Self-adhesive vinyl suits a clean, smooth and prepared surface, while Colorbond steel provides a stronger mechanically fixed face. Select optional holes only on a rigid material and use fixings that do not obscure the border, symbol, wording or class number.
Keep the diamond complete and visible
Install the complete face upright at the required marking or placarding position. Keep it clear of straps, doors, fittings, dirt and other labels, and confirm that all approaches or sides specified for the package, container, vehicle or site remain visible.
Confirm the whole dangerous-goods marking requirement
A Class 6.2 face may be only one part of the required marking system. Confirm any UN number, proper shipping name, subsidiary-risk label, packaging mark, vehicle placard, transport document and emergency-information requirement for the substance, quantity and movement.
Check the sign format before ordering
This is the Australian dangerous-goods Class 6.2 infectious-substance face, not a general biohazard notice or GHS workplace pictogram. Confirm the substance classification, required dimensions, marking or placarding position and every accompanying dangerous-goods requirement for the specific application.
- Australian Dangerous Goods Code, Edition 7.9 — Division 6.2 and class-label requirements — The National Transport Commission publishes the current Australian Dangerous Goods Code, which sets the national technical requirements for land transport of dangerous goods and draws its class labels from the UN Model Regulations.

Before ordering
- Confirm that the exact infectious-substance Class 6.2 face is required rather than a generic biohazard warning.
- Confirm that 150 × 150 mm is accepted for the specific package, container, load, vehicle or site application.
- Choose polypropylene, vinyl or Colorbond for the mounting surface and fixing method.
- Confirm any UN number, proper shipping name, subsidiary-risk label, placard or document required with the face.
- Position the complete diamond upright, visible and unobstructed at every required marking point.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a generic biohazard warning sign?
No. The verified face is the infectious-substance dangerous-goods diamond, with the black biohazard symbol, the words INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCE and the class number 6. Use it only where the classification and marking requirement call for that exact face; it is not a general room or laboratory biohazard notice.
Which size and material can I order?
The verified catalogue size is 150 × 150 mm. Polypropylene is the default rigid option, self-adhesive vinyl suits a clean and prepared smooth surface, and Colorbond steel provides a stronger face for mechanical fixing.
Where is this infectious-substance sign used?
It can be used on packages, containers, storage areas, vehicles or placard panels only when the applicable dangerous-goods classification and marking rules require the Class 6.2 face. Do not choose it from the setting alone; confirm the substance, package or load requirement first.
Does this sign complete every dangerous-goods marking requirement?
No. The face does not classify the material or complete a dangerous-goods assessment. UN numbers, proper shipping names, subsidiary-risk labels, packaging marks, placards, transport documents and emergency information may also be required for the specific substance, quantity and transport or storage arrangement.
Can mounting holes be added?
Optional holes are available on rigid polypropylene and Colorbond signs. Vinyl adheres directly to a clean, smooth and dry surface. Keep the complete diamond, symbol, wording and class number unobstructed by fixings or surrounding equipment.
What volume discounts apply?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
