On defense of the use of symbols:
I haven't read every posting on this thread, but as I understand it, for the indoor use symbol, even the original poster has since stated that he was pretty sure what it meant. It seemed to me that his original question was mainly focussed on where it came from; i.e. he just wanted to confirm that it "officially" means no more and no less than what it seems to mean. Personally, IF/when a warning is required at all (separate issue!) I would much prefer a symbol than some small print in a language that I can't read. (And remember that even in developed areas including USA and EU, the functional literacy rate is significantly less than 100%.) best regards, glyn TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc.
