Safety and Quality > Our Work > Medication Safety > Safer naming, labelling and packaging of medicines > National Standard for User-applied Labelling of Injectable Medicines Fluids and Lines > Labelling Standard labels

These labels are for user-applied labelling of injectable medicine containers and conduits where the contents can no longer be identified by the original packaging.

Full descriptions of what should be labelled, label inclusions and label placement are in the Labelling Standard.

All labels are available as PDF (for viewing) and EPS (for professional printing).
