The Indian standardized system of toxicity labels for pesticides uses a 4-color system (red, yellow, blue, green) to plainly label containers with the toxicity class of the contents.
Label | Name | Level of toxicity | Oral lethal dose mg per kg body weight of test animal | Listed chemicals |
| Red label | Extremely toxic | 1-50 | Monocrotophos, zinc phosphide, ethyl mercury acetate, and others. |
| Yellow label | Highly toxic | 51-500 | Endosulfan, carbaryl, quinalphos, and others. |
| Blue label | Moderately toxic | 501-5000 | Malathion, thiram, glyphosate and others. |
| Green label | Slightly toxic | More than 5000 | Mancozeb, oxyfluorfen, mosquito repellant oils and liquids, and most other household insecticides. |
