ISO 3864 - Safety Colours and Safety Signs Information

The International Standards Organization (ISO) is responsible for publishing the international standard ISO 3864 - Safety Colours and Safety Signs. The standard defines the design criteria for international safety signs. Contained in the standard are three sign formats pertaining to equipment manufacturers:

	Warning Signs - Identify the Hazard Electric Shock Hazard Mandatory Action Signs - Communicates an action to be taken to avoid the hazard. Wear Protective Gloves Prohibition Symbols - Define Prohibitive Actions No Pacemakers

	Predominately used internationally, the graphic-only approach communicates the safety label’s message quickly and without the use of words.  This is the preferred format in the European community due to the concentration of diverse languages.
