Hi List

Can anyone help with the following regarding warnings to users and
signal words

User warnings normally use one of three signal words CAUTION, WARNING,
DANGER. I believe that each of these increases the severity of the
warning. Can anyone define any specific criteria for when a "caution"
becomes a "warning" and ideally point to an IEC or other specification
that provides guidelines on the use of these words? Or is my belief
incorrect and the words are inter-changeable?

thanks in advance for any answers
