The recommendations provided in this guide will aid sponsors in the organization of (a) information required by the regulations, and (b) other complementary information important to the proper identification, selection, and use of the product. The information is presented to support the design and development of labels and packages that are clear, effective, and minimize the risk of errors causing harm.
