Don, IEC 73 should be the one you're looking for and is currently in the 4th edition retitled as "Coding of indicating devices and actuators by colours and supplementary means". EN60073 is the harmonized version.
I don't believe this is a required standard in its own right, but one that I've found in the past needing to be complied with when a couple of products that I was involved with were being evaluated for the international market. Just my 1-1/2 cents worth.

Is there a harmonized European standard or regulation or a specific national regulation that requires the restriction of the color red for warning, danger, etc. It seems it may have been a German ergonomic requirement before various standards were harmonized. Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Don Umbdenstock Sensormatic
