What is the main display panel on a consumer product

?

Under the CCCR the "main display panel" means the part of the display surface that is displayed or visible under normal conditions of sale to the consumer. This is taken to imply the front of the label as the product would sit on the shelf in a retail setting.

The CCCR has very specific requirements for the main display panel. Exact hazard text and symbols must be present on the label based on the chemical hazard classification, and there are minimum size requirements for the text and symbols.

The main display panel must contain, as applicable, the associated hazard symbol(s), the signal word, and the primary hazard statement(s), all of which correspond with the classification assigned to the chemical under the CCCR regulations. The Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act also requires that the main display panel state the product identity declaration, and the net quantity declaration. The product's identity declaration is essentially the product's use. If the product's name explains what the product is used for then this can count as the identity declaration. All of this required information has minimum size requirements that must be met, of which the sizes are based on the area of the main display panel.

To determine the area of the main display panel the side of the product container that faces the consumer is usually taken, however sometime this is not as straight forward as it seems. Generally in the case of a rectangular container, the largest side of the display surface is the main display panel. In the case of a cylindrical container, the largest of either the area of the top, or 40% of the area obtained by multiplying the circumference of the container by the height. When the product comes in a bag, the largest side of the bag is used. For any other container, the largest surface of the container that is not less than 40% of the display surface is used as the main display panel.

There are specific location requirements for the main display panel information. The hazard symbol, signal word and primary hazard statement must be below the product name, centered and near the base of the product on the main display panel. Additionally all required information must be stated in both English and French languages.
