Polish term or phrase: Znak: N
Jest to taki graficzny znak zamieszczany w kartach charakterystyki - "martwa ryba i martwe drzewo"
N to zapewne polskie "Niebezpieczeństwo"

( http://www.trucknetuk.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=58899&p=... scroll to "fish and tree")

Environmentally hazardous substance mark Symbol "fish and tree" (z pewnej karty w Internecie)

Ale jak to ująć po angielsku? Czy może być P jako Pollutant? Czy raczej H jako hazard?

Symbol: N
Explanation:
"The hazard symbol N, the dead fish and dead tree pictogram, the hazard warning Dangerous for the environment and the risk phrases R 50/51/52/53 are used to label substances according to environmental hazards." (http://www.edym.com/en/leather/ch05/ch12030.html)

"This legislation requires chemical products deemed toxic to aquatic organisms above specified levels to be 'N' labelled with the "dead fish, dead tree" symbol. Diversey has some products covered by this legislation and relabelling will be completed by 2008. " (http://www.jdfandbdistributors.com/index.php?option=com_cont...

Z tego wynika, że N i "dead fish/dead tree symbol" to nie to samo.

H- Hazard


Explanation:
Nie wiem czy widziałeś kiedyś takie tabliczki z toksycznymi odpadami, w każdym razie na nich właśnie jest napisane HAZARD, co zdecydowanie oznacza niebezpieczeństwo skażenia. Dlatego ja bym tłumaczyła H.
