TS EN ISO 7010/A2

TS EN ISO 7010/A2 is an amendment document that updates the common sign language used for registered safety signs. In practical terms, safety colours and consistent sign geometry help people recognise warnings and emergency information quickly across workplaces and public environments; this document forms part of that shared system.

The underlying technical subject is safety signs for accident prevention, fire protection, health hazard information and emergency evacuation. In general technical context, safety signage brings together several meaning classes within one visual system, such as warning, prohibition, mandatory action, emergency information and fire-fighting equipment. The shape and colour of the sign follow ISO 3864-1, while the graphical symbol design follows ISO 3864-3, helping preserve legibility and meaning consistency.

How the registered-sign system is bounded

This standard family is intended for places where safety issues related to people need to be addressed. Its use is broad, but it explicitly excludes signalling for guiding rail, road, river, maritime and air traffic, as well as sectors that are generally subject to separate regulations that may differ on certain points from this standard and the ISO 3864 series. The document also specifies the master originals of safety signs that may be scaled for reproduction and application.

Because this is an A2 amendment, it should be understood as a change to the base standard rather than a standalone restatement of the whole subject. The key value lies in the updated registered sign set and the established relationship between symbol meaning, colour and shape.

• Signs for accident prevention, fire protection, health hazard information and emergency evacuation
• Shape and colour rules tied to ISO 3864-1
• Graphical symbol design tied to ISO 3864-3
• Use in places where people-related safety issues must be addressed
• Excluded: rail, road, river, maritime and air traffic signalling
