Overview

ISO 7010:2019/PRF Amd 11:2025 is an amendment to the widely recognized ISO 7010 standard, which provides specifications for graphical symbols, safety colours, and registered safety signs. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee ISO/TC 145/SC 2, this amendment extends the list of internationally recognized safety signs, focusing on clarity and effective communication, especially in the context of winter sports and mountain environments.

The amendment introduces new symbols and signage to meet emerging safety needs, supporting visual safety communication and hazard prevention worldwide. These additions help organizations comply with safety regulations, safeguard users, and support universal comprehension regardless of language.

    • M064: Hold two ski poles with a single hand
    • M065: Children must be accompanied
    • M066: Wear a sports helmet
    • M067: Wear snow goggles

    By standardizing pictograms, shapes, and safety colours, this amendment helps achieve consistent safety communication across global applications. It provides visual cues understood by users regardless of language, improving hazard awareness and response.

  • User Guidance and Comprehension
    Where necessary, supplementary text is advised to enhance understanding, especially when test data for symbol comprehension is not available. This ensures the effectiveness of safety signs in real-world environments.

Applications

ISO 7010:2019/PRF Amd 11 is directly applicable to organizations and industries requiring clear, standardized safety signage. Its practical value includes:
