These ISO 3864 and ISO 7010 safety labels are used to communicate hazards, mandatory actions, and prohibited behaviors through internationally standardized graphical symbols — without signal words — making them the right format for multilingual facilities and equipment exported to European, Asian, and global markets.
We stock a wide selection of W-series hazard warning, M-series mandatory action, and P-series prohibition symbols in sizes from 0.375" to 3.75". All labels are constructed with high quality 3M Polyester base w/ 3M Polyester Overlaminate, the materials are UL Recognized and CSA Approved, Rated from -40F to 300F
ISO 7010 organizes all registered safety symbols by message type using a letter prefix and four-digit number.
The full ISO 7010 registered symbol library — with previews at no cost — is browsable at the ISO Online Browsing Platform: iso.org/obp.
3M polyester base with polyester overlaminate, UL Recognized and CSA Approved, rated –40°F to 300°F. Full construction details are on the Safety Labels page.
Yes. The EU Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) requires that safety markings on CE-marked machinery use pictograms understood without language dependency, and ISO 7010 symbols are the accepted means of satisfying that requirement. Consult your notified body or CE marking consultant to confirm which specific symbols are required for your products and applications.
The ISO Online Browsing Platform at iso.org/obp provides a free, searchable preview of all registered ISO 7010 symbols. Search by keyword (for example, "electric shock," "gloves," "no smoking") to find the corresponding symbol number.
Yes, and it is common OEM practice for equipment sold into both North American and international markets. A typical approach is to apply an ANSI Z535.4 label with the full signal-word message for US/Canada compliance, and place ISO 7010 symbols at the specific hazard point for graphic reinforcement recognized internationally without translation. Both ANSI Z535.4 (webstore.ansi.org) and ISO 3864-2 (iso.org/store) address combined use; consult both standards and your product safety team to confirm any layout interaction requirements.
ISO 3864 defines the design rules — safety colors, geometric shapes, contrast ratios, and layout principles — that govern how a safety sign or product safety label must be constructed. ISO 7010 is the companion symbol library: a catalog of pre-designed, registered graphical symbols (W-, M-, and P-series) reviewed and standardized for consistent international use. ISO 3864 answers "how do I build the label?"; ISO 7010 answers "which symbol do I use?" Both are published by ISO and available at iso.org/store.
