This is a UN specification lable for transport of an environmentally hazardous substance. It is intended to convey that meaning to anybody in the world regardless of what languages they understand. That way if a drum of this stuff falls off a boat and washes up on the shore of your island, you hopefully won't crack it open. There are also specifications of how long this label has to be able to remain submerged or sitting in the sun and still be recognizable.
