Safety Label, Safety Sign & Warning Notice

Safety labels, also known as safety signs or warning signs, are part of safety-related marking and serve to indicate residual risks. They help users to identify potential hazards and guide them to adopt safe behavior.

ISO 11684:2023 defines basic requirements for the design, symbols, colors, and meaning of safety labels, taking ISO 3864 into account. The aim of the standard is to ensure a clear, uniform, and internationally understandable interpretation of safety-related information. Safety labels are a supplementary measure to safety marking and do not replace the content of operating instructions or other binding safety documents.
