Hello Joe,
I have seen some products marked with a CE mark and red and white
labels. I believe the red and white is a carry over from the US OHSA
type labels. However, my research has uncovered only 2 options for
Europe: Black on Yellow or molding.
Here is how the standard for Measurement and Laboratory Equipment,
EN61010-1, reads. Background colour - yellow; symbol and outline -
black. There is also a note under Table 1 of A2 amendment, that
states:
Note - Colour requirements for symbols 12, 13, and 14 (Caution symbol)
do not apply to markings on equipment provided that the symbol is
molded or engraved to a depth or raised to a height of 0.5 mm, or that
the symbol and outline are contrasting with the background.
I wish you luck, as I have spent much effort to change our labels from
red and white to yellow and black.
Regards,
Ray

Hello Everyone!
Question:
What does IEC 27 say about the color of the caution symbol?
I have a product that will need to have CE Mark (EMC and LVD).
The product label is two colors (red on white). I need to have a
caution symbol on a "probe" jack with "10 V max".
I've been told IEC says black on yellow for the symbol when it means
caution/hazard/avoid or black on white when it means see the manual.
I can only have red on white.
Is this an issue for the low voltage directive? Can it be red on
white?
