Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 7010 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 145, Graphical symbols, Subcommittee SC 2, Safety
identification, signs, shapes, symbols and colours.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7010:2003), as well as ISO 6309:1987. It also
incorporates the Amendments

ISO 7010:2011(E)
Introduction
There is a need to standardize a system of giving safety information that relies as little as possible on the use
of words to achieve understanding.
Continued growth in international trade, travel and mobility of labour requires a common method of
communicating safety information.
Lack of standardization may lead to confusion and the risk of accidents.
The use of standardized safety signs does not replace proper work methods, instructions and accident
prevention training or measures. Education is an essential part of any system that provides safety information.
The safety signs are intended for use only where there is a risk to people. They may appear in safety signage
in workplaces and public areas, safety manuals and notices, product labelling and escape and evacuation
plans, as appropriate.
This International Standard is intended to be used by all Technical Committees within ISO charged with
developing specific safety signing for their industry, to ensure that there is only one safety sign for each safety
meaning. It is also intended that this International Standard be revised regularly to include safety signs as they
are standardized by ISO, and which conform to the design principles given in ISO 3864.
The safety signs in this International Standard have been validated by ISO/TC 145/SC 2 according to
procedures of standardization current at the time of publication.
NOTE 1 Some countries' statutory regulations may differ in some respects from those given in this International
Standard.
NOTE 2 Information on procedures, criteria of acceptability, safety sign templates and application of safety signs are
given on the website: http://www.iso.org/tc145/sc2.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 7010:2011(E)

Graphical symbols — Safety colours and safety signs —
Registered safety signs
IMPORTANT — The colours represented in the electronic file of this International Standard can be
neither viewed on screen nor printed as true representations. Although the copies of this International
Standard printed by ISO have been produced to correspond (with an acceptable tolerance as judged
by the naked eye) to the requirements of ISO 3864-4, it is not intended that these printed copies be
used for colour matching. Instead consult ISO 3864-4 which provides colorimetric and photometric
properties together with, as a guideline, references from colour order systems.
1 Scope
This International Standard prescribes safety signs for the purposes of accident prevention, fire protection,
health hazard information and emergency evacuation.
The shape and colour of each safety sign are according to ISO 3864-1 and the design of the graphical
symbols is according to ISO 3864-3.
This International Standard is applicable to all locations where safety issues related to people need to be
addressed. However, it is not applicable to the signalling used for guiding rail, road, river, maritime and air
traffic and, in general, to those sectors subject to a regulation which may differ with regard to certain points of
this International Standard and of the ISO 3864 series.
This International Standard specifies the safety sign originals that may be scaled for reproduction and
application purposes.

4.3 Categorization of safety signs
Safety signs are categorized according to their function as follows:
 E is the category for signs indicating an evacuation route, the location of safety equipment or a safety
facility, or a safety action (safe condition signs);
 F is the category for fire equipment signs;
 M is the category for mandatory action signs;
 P is the category for prohibition signs;
 W is the category for warning signs.
Table 2 summarizes the registered safety signs in terms of safety sign category in accordance with
ISO 3864-1.
5 Registered safety signs
Tables 3 to 7 give safety sign originals in a uniform 70 mm size with corner marks to enable accurate
enlargement and reduction scaling. The sign illustrations are shown without borders in order to allow for
consistent reproduction scaling, though a border can be useful to achieve a luminance contrast between the
safety sign and its background when mounted or displayed. The safety signs should be reproduced exactly as
shown in Tables 3 to 7. However some degree of graphical modification is permitted when cultural differences
or special application formats need to be considered, provided the original meaning is retained and
comprehension of the safety sign is maintained. Consistent reproduction and use of these safety signs will
lead to a progressively improved degree of comprehension at the international level.
In cases where the orientation of the graphical symbol is not essential to the meaning of the safety sign, the
graphical symbol may be reproduced in a mirrored form. For prohibition signs, it is essential that the
prohibition bar does not obscure significant details of the graphical symbol.
NOTE The graphical symbol is the complete image containing all the graphical symbol elements as shown in the
registered safety sign.
Where a registered safety sign is not available to indicate a particular desired meaning, the meaning shall be
obtained either by developing a new safety sign following the design principles of ISO 3864-1 and ISO 3864-3
or by using the appropriate general sign (ISO 7010-M001, -P001, -W001), together with supplementary safety
information.
Tables 3 to 7 present the safety sign originals according to their category as follows:
 E Signs indicating an evacuation route, the location of safety equipment
or a safety facility, or a safety action (safe condition signs) see Table 3
 F Fire equipment signs see Table 4
 M Mandatory action signs see Table 5
 P Prohibition signs see Table 6
 W Warning signs see Table 7
Tables 3 to 7 also give a description of the application of each safety sign.
