Labelling requirements for research chemicals — the long version

Posting this under the heading it deserves: Labelling requirements for research chemicals — the long version Everything below is what sits behind that.

A narrow question about Labelling requirements for research chemicals, deliberately narrow, because the broad version has been asked here four times and produced four long threads and no answer.

One question, stated units, stated method, and what I have already ruled out.

A label change is a regulatory event with a date and a document. Citing the document is what makes a claim about labelling checkable.

Labelling and intended use: a compound sold as "research-use-only" does not change its pharmacology if ingested. It changes the legal status of the sale. The labelling tells you the intended use, not the actual use people make of it.
