The international Standard for product safety labels, ISO 3864-2 Graphical symbols–Safety colours and safety signs–Part 2: Design principles for product safety labels, published in 2004, codified a global set of best practice, symbol-based product safety label formats to communicate safety to international audiences. Geoffrey Peckham, CEO of Clarion Safety Systems and chair of the U.S. TAG to ISO/TC 145–Graphical Symbols, discusses what triggered the need for the international Standard and explains its harmonization with ANSI Z535.4.

ANSI Z535 Safety Alerting Standards

When the U.S. Standard for product safety labels, ANSI Z535.4 Standard for Product Safety Signs and Labels, was published in 1991, it gave manufacturers the tool they needed to develop good product warnings that could more effectively communicate safety messages, helping to prevent accidents. Geoffrey Peckham, CEO of Clarion Safety Systems and chair of the ANSI Z535 Committee for Safety Signs and Colors, discusses how the Standard met the requirements of manufacturers across industries and products and how its practical rules for content have led to today’s best practice labels.
