If a term on the label is not defined, which resource should you contact?

• A. Ignore it and proceed
• B. Contact the PMRA Call Line for clarification
• C. Check the Safety Data Sheet for a definition
• D. Ask a supervisor

Answer: (B)

When a term on the label isn’t defined, the right move is to contact the PMRA Call Line for clarification. Labels are legal instructions, and PMRA is the federal authority that interprets label wording and can provide official definitions or guidance to ensure proper and compliant use. The Safety Data Sheet focuses on hazards and safety information, not on defining label terms. A supervisor may offer practical advice, but final interpretation should come from PMRA to meet regulatory requirements. Ignoring the term isn’t acceptable, and relying on informal sources can lead to improper or non-compliant use.
