English

Subject field(s)
  • Security Posters and Signs
  • Smallwares
  • Law of Security
CONT

A seal is to show that an instrument was executed in a formal manner. At early common law sealing legal documents was of great legal significance. A promise under seal was binding by virtue of the seal. Today under most statutes any stamp, wafer, mark, scroll, or impression made, adopted, and affixed, is adequate. The printed word "seal", or "l. s. ", is sufficient.

CONT

A WHMIS label has different forms. It may be a mark, sign, stamp, sticker, seal, ticket, tag or wrapper. It is attached to, imprinted, stencilled or embossed on the controlled product or its container.

CONT

L'étiquetage du SIMDUT peut prendre diverses formes. Il peut s'agir d'une marque, d'un signe, d'une étampe, d'un autocollant, d'un sceau, d'un ticket, d'une étiquette ou d'un emballage, qui peut être attaché au produit ou à son contenant, ou imprimé, marqué au pochoir ou imprimé en relief.

OBS

Au début de la période du droit coutumier, l'apposition du sceau sur les actes revêtait une grande importance au point de vue juridique. Une promesse ainsi scellée était irrévocable. De nos jours, d'après la plupart des lois, il suffit d'adopter ou d'apposer un timbre, un cachet, une empreinte, ou de faire une marque ou une impression. L'inscription du mot «sceau» ou de «l.s.» («locus sigilli», place du sceau) suffit également.

A symbol of authenticity. An impression made by means of an instrument or device, such as an engraved metallic plate, on wax or wafer affixed to an instrument, or directly upon the instrument itself.

An essential of a deed at common law and under some statutes, but disappearing from the requirement of the law with the expansion of literacy and the corresponding ability of a grantor to affix his own signature with legibility sufficient to authenticate the instrument as one representing his own act and deed.(Ballentine, 3rd ed., 1969, p. 1147)
