I omitted product-specific standards which may reference, modify or complement these. May not be up to date, please email me [directly] with any corrections if you wish and I can repost. Almost certainly not complete! -Glyn Please read the titles carefully: You will note that some of these standards are safety-related, others are for operational and other markings and signs. Also some are for equipment, and some for the facility. A. SYMBOLS/SIGNS/MARKING/SIGNALS, SAFETY: IEC, EU & SEMI (stds w/SYMBOLS) These standards contain symbols: 92/58/EEC (EU Directive) MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROVISION OF SAFETY AND/OR HEALTH SIGNS AT WORK EN 61310-1 SAFETY OF MACHINERY - INDICATION, MARKING AND ACTUATION - REQUIREMENTS FOR VISUAL, AUDITORY AND TACTILE SIGNALS Specifies requirements for visual, auditory and tactile methods of indicating safety-related information, at the man-machine interface and to exposed persons. Specifies a system of safety signs, colours, markings and other warnings, meant for use for the indication of hazardous situations, and health hazards and for meeting certain emergencies. [symbols for operation, prohibition, warning, mandatory, escape, fire fighting] EN 61310-2 -REQUIREMENTS FOR MARKING Gives general rules on marking for identification of machinery, for the avoidance of hazards arising from incorrect connections, and for safe use related to mechanical and electrical hazards. [symbols for: Ground(earth), ac, dc, +, -, class II, III, !, dangerous voltage] ISO 3864 (1984) SAFETY COLOUR AND SAFETY SIGNS ISO 7000 (1/11/1989) GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS FOR USE ON EQUIPMENT - INDEX AND SYNOPSIS Gives a summary of graphical symbols put on equipment and intended to instruct the user of the equipment in its use and operation. IEC 60417-1 EN 60417-1 GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS FOR USE ON EQUIPMENT - PART 1 - OVERVIEW AND APPLICATION Covers graphical symbols and their meaning (title and application). Mainly intended for identifying equipment or part of the equipment, designating connections, indicating functional states, providing instruction for operation of equipment and packaging information. Reference information is provided to assist the user in finding suitable graphic symbols. It is not intended for the purpose of reproduction and symbols defined are not intended primarily for public information, safety signs, and for use for drawings and in technical documentation of products. When using graphic symbols as safety signs the rules in ISO 3864 apply. IEC 60417-2 EN 60417-2 PART 2 - SYMBOL ORIGINALS Covers graphic symbols included in IEC 60417-1 for the purpose of reproduction. For application and modification rules for graphic symbols, and information which includes references, IEC 60416 should be referred to. B. SYMBOLS/SIGNS/MARKING/SIGNALS, SAFETY: IEC & EU (no SYMBOLS) EN 842 SAFETY OF MACHINERY - VISUAL DANGER SIGNALS - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS, DESIGN AND TESTING Gives criteria for perception of visual danger signals in the area that perople are intended to perceive and react to such a signal. Gives the safety and ergonomic requirements and corresponding physical measurements. Not applicable to danger indications presented in either written or pictorial form or those transmitted by data display units. EN 981 (= ISO 11429) SAFETY OF MACHINERY - SYSTEM OF AUDITORY AND VISUAL DANGER AND INFORMATION SIGNALS | ISO 11429 ERGONOMICS - SYSTEM OF AUDITORY AND VISUAL DANGER AND INFORMATION SIGNALS Defines a system of danger and information signals, allowing for different degrees of urgency. Applies to all danger and information signals which have to be clearly perceived and differentiated as specified in ISO/TR 12100-2 [EN 292-2]. Does not apply to certain fields which are covered by specific standards or other conventions in force. EN 61310-3 -- REQUIREMENTS FOR THE LOCATION AND OPERATION OF ACTUATORS This part describes safety-related requirements for actuators, at the man-machine interface and is also applicable to non-electrotechnical technologies and also gives general requirements for actuators. It covers single actuators as well as groups of actuators forming part of an assembly. IEC 60416 2nd ED 1988 Superseded [= ISO 3461-1] ISO 3461-1 GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR THE CREATION OF GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS - GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS FOR USE ON EQUIPMENT Specifies the basis for the creation of graphical symbols used on equipment. Gives rules for designing symbols, to include their shape and size, and instructions for their application. IEC 80416-1 (2001) BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS FOR USE ON EQUIPMENT - PART 1: CREATION OF SYMBOL ORIGINALS Defines the key principles for the creation of symbol originals for use on equipment. Also contains rules for design such as shape and size, and also for preparation of the accompanying texts. EN 80416 Basic principles for graphical symbols for use on equipment EN 80416-1:200X -- Part 1: Creation of symbol originals EN 80416-2:200X -- Part 2: Form and use of arrows prEN 80416-3:2001 -- Part 3: Guidelines for the application of graphical symbols IEC 60073 BASIC AND SAFETY PRINCIPLES FOR MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE, MARKING AND IDENTIFICATION - CODING PRINCIPLES FOR INDICATION DEVICES AND ACTUATORS Establishes general rules for assigning particular meanings to certain colours and supplementary means for indicating devices and actuators. Meant to: help the with the rapid recognition of operating conditions and actuator positions; help with the proper monitoring, operation and maintenance of the equipment; increase the safety of persons, property and/or the environment through the operation and monitoring of the equipment. Coverage includes definitions, indicating devices and actuators. C. SYMBOLS/SIGNS, SAFETY: USA ANSI Z535.1 SAFETY COLOR CODE Gives the technical definitions, color standards and color tolerances for Safety Colors, and the applications of these Safety Colors to specific purposes in connection with accident prevention. ANSI Z535.2 ENVIRONMENTAL AND FACILITY SAFETY SIGNS Gives guidance for those people who wish to alert persons to potential personnel injury hazards or property damage hazards inherent in the environment or facility under their control - these include industries, commerical establishments, property owners and employers. ANSI Z535.3 CRITERIA FOR SAFETY SYMBOLS Outlines general requirements for design ,evaluation and use of safety symbols for identification and warning against specific hazards, and to provide information to avoid personal injury. To promote the adoption and use of uniform and effective safety symbols for safety communications is the purpose of this Standard. A procedure for evaluating image effectiveness in communicating the intended message, as well as considerations for graphic design of symbols is provided. ANSI Z535.4 PRODUCT SAFETY SIGNS AND LABELS Gives performance requirements for the application, use and design of safety signs and labels used in identifying potential hazards in operating, servicing and using a wide range of products. ANSI Z535.5 ACCIDENT PREVENTION TAGS Specifies criteria for the design and use of accident prevention tags to identify temporary hazards. Not to be used in place of a permanent sign intended for hazards in normal use, maintenance or operation. OSHA Regulations (Standards - 29 CFR) PART 1910 - OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARDS, Subpart J - General Environmental Controls 1910.144 Safety color code for marking physical hazards. 1910.145 Specifications for accident prevention signs and tags.
