I think reference of ISO 3864 would be pertinent – I don’t have an anywhere near current copy to-hand, but this Wikipedia page outlines the subparts of that standard and give the basic requirements for defining the meaning of a symbol by its colour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3864
Thus a Blue sign indicates a “Mandatory” requirement. John E Allen West London, UK From: Matthew D. Varas <[email protected]> Sent: 05 February 2021 15:57 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PSES] Instruction for use symbol... We went through this recently with one of our products and our NRTL was explicit that the having the blue color “was critical.” Matthew Varas Electrical Engineer WR Medical Electronics Co 1700 Gervais Avenue | Maplewood, MN 55109 | U.S.A. Cell: 763.222.6900 Office: 651.604.8473 <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] From: Matthew Wilson | GBE <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, February 5, 2021 9:24 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [PSES] Instruction for use symbol... I was asked what symbol should be used on a piece of equipment, where the EN 61010-1 safety standard applies, to denote 'read the instructions for use'? Prior just some English wording was used but a symbol would be better as the equipment may be used within the EU. It is not clear to me which symbol it should be. I thought the experts here might have an opinion. Should it be ISO 7000-1641, the 'book' with a 'i' in it. https://www.iso.org/obp/ui#iso:grs:7000:1641 Or ISO 7010-M002, a person holding a book within in a circle https://www.iso.org/obp/ui#iso:grs:7010:M002 For the latter, this is a blue colour circle. Can that be black rather than blue? The reason for asking that is that on the equipment all the graphics (manufacturer logo, AC input etc) would be screen printed on to the metalwork, and they are black.
