RE: ANSI warning symbols
Nick, check out ANSI Z535.3-1998, Criteria for Safety Symbols Also check out this web site http://www.hazcomsys.com/ Richard Woods Sensormatic Electronics Tyco International -Original Message- From: Nick Williams [mailto:nick.willi...@conformance.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 4:16 AM To: emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org Subject: ANSI warning symbols I'm trying to track down the number of the ANSI standard which defines mechanical (and other) hazard warning symbols (e.g. guards must be in place, trap point etc).

Re: ANSI warning symbols
Nick: ANSI Z535 is a series of five standards dealing with safety signs and colors. Three of these five are the ones most applicable to us in the compliance world. ANSI Z535.3 is the standard covering various hazard alerting symbols and is the one, I believe, you're needing. ANSI Z535.1 covers specifications for the color coding such as Safety Red and Safety Orange, etc. ANSI Z535.4 covers format for hazard markings/labels, etc. In our product line of commercial food equipment (saws, choppers, mixers, etc.), we use Z535.4 for the basic design for cautionary product markings, Z535.3 to select the closest-fitting symbol for the pictogram and Z535.1 for the background color of the signal word panel (Caution, Warning, etc.). These standards were last revised in 1997, I believe. Richard I.

RE: ANSI warning symbols
Nick Try this link, all the US safety signs you could ever ask for. http://www.hazcomsys.com/ ANSI Z535.4 is the correct standard for US Safety Signs.
