According to EN 61010-1 (test equipment), which uses it,  <exclamation
point in a triangle>  is symbol B.3.1, "Caution (refer to accompanying
documents)", from ISO 3864: SAFETY COLOUR AND SAFETY SIGNS.

FYI, same source (EN61010) also lists, among others:
   "Caution, risk of electric shock" (lightning bolt in triangle), symbol
B.3.6, also from ISO 3864.
   "Caution, hot surface" (3 vertical wavy lines above a horizontal line),
symbol 5041, from IEC [60]417.

Note that IEC 417 was renumbered to IEC 60417, then superseded by:
   IEC 60417-1 GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS FOR USE ON EQUIPMENT - PART 1: OVERVIEW
AND APPLICATION
   and IEC 60417-2 GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS FOR USE ON EQUIPMENT - SYMBOL
ORIGINALS


Another source of symbols _may_ be IEC 60617-2, "GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS FOR
DIAGRAMS - SYMBOL ELEMENTS, QUALIFYING SYMBOLS AND OTHER SYMBOLS HAVING
GENERAL APPLICATION". (Despite the title, EN 61010-1 suggests that the "3~"
symbol [# 02-02-06] may be useful on rating label of 3-phase equipment.)
