Graphical symbols - Safety colours and safety signs - Part 2 : design principles for product safety labels

ISO 3864-2:2016 establishes additional principles to ISO 3864‑1 for the design of safety labels for products, i.e. any items manufactured and offered for sale in the normal course of commerce, including but not limited to consumer products and industrial equipment. The purpose of a product safety label is to alert persons to a specific hazard and to identify how the hazard can be avoided. ISO 3864-2:2016 is applicable to all products in all industries where safety-related questions can be posed. However, it is not applicable to safety labels used - for chemicals, - for the transport of dangerous substances and preparations and - in those sectors subject to legal regulations which differ from certain provisions of this document. The design principles incorporated in this document are intended to be used by all ISO Technical Committees and anyone designing product safety labels in the development of product safety label standards for their industries or services.

Graphical symbols - Safety colours and safety signs - Part 2 : design principles for product safety labels

Le présent document établit des principes qui s'ajoutent à ceux de la NF X 08-003 pour la conception des étiquetages de sécurité pour les produits, c'est-à-dire tous les articles fabriqués et mis en vente dans le circuit normal, ce qui inclut les produits de consommation et les équipements industriels, sans toutefois s'y limiter. L'objet d'un étiquetage de sécurité du produit est d'alerter sur un danger spécifique et d'indiquer comment il peut être évité.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
