          ANSI Z535 Brief Description of all Six Standards

          ANSI Z535 Set

          The Z535 series is valuable for those needing a comprehensive source of Standards relating to the design, application, and use of safety signs, colors, and symbols. It is used by manufacturers of ink, pigments, and dyes for the safety sign industry, including sign, label and tag makers; designers of safety signs, labels, tags and tapes; and symbol comprehension testing programs.

          The set includes all six ANSI Z535 safety Standards.

          ANSI Z535.1 – Safety Colors

          ANSI Z535.1 sets forth the technical definitions, color Standards, and color tolerances for the ANSI Z535 uniform safety color.

          ANSI Z535.2 – Environmental Facility and Safety Signs

          ANSI Z535.2 regulates requirements for the design, application, and use of safety signs in facilities and in the environment through consistent visual layout. Reorganized to best describe the five types of safety signs used in facilities, the 2011 edition of this Standard is revised to better harmonize with ANSI Z535.4, ANSI Z535.5, and ANSI Z535.6.

          ANSI Z535.3 – Criteria for Safety Symbols

          ANSI Z535.3 provides general criteria for the design, evaluation, and use of safety symbols to identify and warn against specific hazards and information to avoid personal injury.

          ANSI Z535.4 – Product Safety Signs and Labels

          ANSI Z535.4 delivers specifications for design, application, use, and placement of safety signs and labels on a wide variety of products. A new type of product safety sign, the “safety instruction sign,” was added to join the existing types of signs, hazard alerting signs, and safety notice signs, which were also more clearly defined and named in this edition. The definitions for “accident,” “harm,” and “incident” were refined to more clearly delineate a separation between physical injury and other safety-related issues (e.g., property damage). It was revised to correspond with ANSI Z535.2, ANSI Z535.5, and ANSI Z535.6.

          ANSI Z535.5 – Safety Tags and Barricade Tapes (for Temporary Hazards)

          ANSI Z535.5 discusses tag and tapes, which are used only until the identified hazard is eliminated or the hazardous operation is completed. The Z535.5-2011 edition was revised to link with ANSI Z535.2, ANSI Z545.4, and ANSI Z535.6. The Safety Instructions Tag was added in addition to the existing types of signs, hazard alerting tags, and barricade tapes, as well as safety notice tags and barricade tapes, which were more clearly defined and named in this edition. Industries (typically manufacturing and construction) that employ lockout/tagout procedures or have a need to mark an area affected by a temporary hazard will find this Standard beneficial.

          ANSI Z535.6 – Product Safety Information in Product Manuals, Instructions, and Other Collateral Materials

          ANSI Z535.6 provides updated information for manufacturers to promote the efficient development of safety messages.
