TS EN ISO 7010/A1

TS EN ISO 7010/A1 is an amendment to the TS EN ISO 7010 family of registered safety signs, updating part of the common visual language used for safety colours and graphical symbols. It relates to signs used for accident prevention, fire protection, health hazard information and emergency evacuation, but as an amendment it should be understood together with the base standard rather than as a complete stand-alone specification.

How registered safety signs work

Safety signs are a visual communication system designed to convey meaning quickly and consistently, even where language barriers exist. In this field, the safety colour contributes the warning or semantic layer, while the graphical symbol carries the specific message. The ISO 7010 approach aims at recognisable and standardised symbols, with the shape and colour arrangement aligned to ISO 3864-1 and the graphical design principles aligned to ISO 3864-3.

Where the standard applies, and where it does not

The standard family is intended for locations where safety-related communication with people is needed in everyday facilities and workplaces. It is not generally intended for signalling used to guide rail, road, river, maritime or air traffic, which may be covered by separate regulations and different signalling rules. As an A1 amendment, this document updates the registered-sign set of the parent standard and is best read in combination with that base text when identifying the applicable symbols.
