That is correct... The Exemption - small container is based on the size of the main display panel. "Generally", 60 mL bottles and below will qualify for the exemption, BUT 60 mL bottles are right at the cusp of the 35 cm2. ALL bottles should be measured to make that determination. MDP for Round bottles: 40% of the display surface (bottle circumference x bottle display surface height) MDP for Square bottles/boxes: The largest side of the display surface (height x width)

I should have clarified “round” bottle. Display surface on a rectangular bottle is calculated differently.

The display surface on any bottle is the flat circumferential surface, so the flat face from the edge of the top curve of the bottle to the edge of the bottom curve of the bottle – multiplied by the circumference of the bottle.

Just to contribute, according to my reading of CCCR, the small bottle exemption applies to “the main display panel of the container”, not the full size of the container. (If I’m reading this wrong, please correct me!)

Taken from text:

Exemption — small container
(2) Despite subsection (1) and subject to Part 4, if the main display panel of a container has an area of
(a) less than 35 cm2, only the hazard symbol and the signal word need be displayed
