Greetings All, To meet UL60950:2000 Third Edition and CSA C22.2 No 60950:2000 Third Edition, is it a mandatory requirement that the electric shock symbol and cautionary symbol markings be black lettering on a yellow background? Or is the intent is to have the markings with a high contrast, by using alternate colors, such as black lettering on a white background.
Specifically these are the symbols from the ISO Publication ISO 3864, No. B.3.6 for the electric shock symbol and No. B.3.1 for the cautionary symbol. Since at this time we don't have the ISO publication, does the publication allow for alternate colors of contrast? Does UL60950 and CSA C22.2 No 60950 allow the use of IEC 60417 for such symbols with contrasting colors for lettering and background? A more general question to keep this thread on more general terms - For safety requirements, are there specific color codes that one must adhere to for specific symbols? Or is it enough to show a high contrast between lettering and background for such symbols? Thanks in-advance.
