Yes, full names should be used when labeling hazardous waste. If abbreviations are used and they are mistaken for another substance, improper disposal and possibly a safety hazard may result. The full name does not need to be the systematic name, but rather an unambiguous name.

For example, when disposing 'DBU', one does not need to use the name 2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10-octahydropyrimido[1,2-a]azepine, but the abbreviation DBU should not be used due to its ambiguity. Thus, 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene or Diazabicycloundecene is preferred.

What is a text value also known as in Excel?

There is no single answer. Often it can be a label, which may be the answer you are looking for, but text values used in Excel are not always labels. If you have a list of names in a spreadsheet, the names are not labels. There may be a label at the top like "Names", but the names themselves are not labels.
