Safety Signage Regulations
Introduction
ISO 3864 specifies an international standard for safety and warning signs in workplaces and public facilities. These labels are graphic, to overcome linguistic barriers. The standard is divided into four parts:
Colors
These are the colors specified in the ISO 3864-4 standard in the RAL color standard.[1].
In addition, the ISO 3864-2:2016 standard assigns the following colors the corresponding risk level.[3] The standard adds "Orange" as an incremental color to the palette above.
Related standards
The corresponding American standard is ANSI Z535"). ANSI Z535.1 also uses multiple hazard levels, including yellow (Pantone 109) for 'caution' messages, and orange (Pantone 151) for stronger 'warning' messages.[4][5][6] Like ISO 3864, ANSI Z535 includes multiple sections: ANSI Z535.6-2006 defines accompanying text optional in one or more languages.
ISO 3864 is extended by ISO 7010, which defines a set of symbols based on the principles and properties specified in ISO 3864.
