Rich, As you say, this web site provides a discussion on the exclamation symbol. However, the discussion is slanted in one direction that not everyone in the safety fraternity would necessarily subscribe to. For instance, I have seen the 'high voltage flash' sign used as a symbol in an internet cafe' - among other misuses. I'm sure that others have examples of symbols defined in IEC 60417 being misused: does this mean that they are no longer usable for safety purposes? For international products, the alternative to using safety symbols as defined in IEC standards is text in multiple languages, and that in turn means big labels or lots of country-specific variants. Perhaps you were not intending to endorse the viewpoint expressed? Please confirm. Richard Hughes Safety Answers Limited.
