See IEC/EN60073 for the major colour assignments - and any sector-specific
standards (e.g. for medical see IEC/EN60601, or for industrial equipment see
EN60204 - but no special requirements for IEC/EN60950).

60073 requirements are very similar to what you quote for the Telecordia
spec.

Subject: LED Color Assignments




        Would anyone know of an equivalent (ETSI) requirement for the EU,
and possibly rest of world, for the Telcordia requirements in GR-474 for LED
color assignments?  The EU requirements are most important although any
additional information would be helpful.  I would appreciate it if your
answers could be accompanied by a document number, section, etc.

The following is from GR-474:

2.2.3.2 NE Display - Visual Assignments and Meanings

R2-36 [36] The colors red, yellow or amber, green, and white, indicating the
severity of the trouble, shall be used on the NE's physical control/status
display panel to visually represent various alarm levels and status
conditions at the NE's equipment location and the OC. (See Section 2.7,
Maintenance Person - NE Interface.)

R2-37 [37] Color assignments for physical panels shall be as follows:
.... a. Red shall indicate a critical or major failure, error, or danger.
.... b. Yellow or amber shall indicate a minor failure, caution, warning, or
temporary malfunction, or state for which the craftsperson should use
caution.
.... c. Green shall indicate satisfactory operation, active condition, or
completion of a process or procedure.
.... d. White shall indicate a neutral condition that implies nothing about
the success or failure of system operations.

Thx,


Joe
