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 17080 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry, Subcommittee SC 14, Operator controls, operator symbols and other displays, operator manuals.

The formats for single-panel product safety labels presented in this International Standard incorporate the use of geometric shapes, colours and hazard pictorials (graphical symbols) to communicate safety information, efficiently, across language barriers. Education is an essential part of any system of safety information. Because the amount of information necessary to enable a product to be operated or serviced safely could well be more than is able to be conveyed in a product safety label, collateral material (e.g. product literature, installation manual, operator's manual, service manual, etc.) can be used to supplement product safety labels and provide the user with additional safety information.

The main usage of these labels is on machines and equipment where the available space for locating product safety information is very limited, and where multi- panel labels are not necessary for conveying the essential safety messages. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 hazard source of potential injury to a person 2.2 panel area of a product safety label that has a distinctive background colour different from adjacent areas of the label, or which is clearly delineated by a border 2.3 multi-panel product safety label product safety label that uses more than one panel to communicate the safety message NOTE See ISO 11684. 2.4 product safety label label on a product that informs the observer of one or more hazards and/or describes the safety precautions or actions required to avoid the hazard(s) NOTE A product safety label communicates a hazardous situation, a precaution to avoid a hazard, and/or a result of not avoiding a hazard. 2.5 safety colour colour with special properties to which a safety meaning is attributed 2.6 single-panel product safety label product safety label that uses one panel to communicate the safety message BS ISO 17080:2005 Licensed Copy: London South Bank University, London South Bank University, Sun Apr 01 14:46:12 GMT+00:00 2007, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI 2 3 Safety colours and contrast colours 3.1 Purposes There are two basic purposes for using specific colours on a product safety label. First, the use of colour rapidly draws attention to the product safety label so that it is easily noticed. Second, safety colour coding serves to identify and give meaning (through training and/or repeated exposure) to the product safety label as a whole as well as to its component parts. Product safety labels should be conspicuous on the product. This can be achieved by ensuring that the safety colour of the geometric shape is sufficiently distinctive on the product surface to which the product safety label is affixed, and/or adding a border of a specified contrast colour (see 4.4, 4.5, 4.6), and/or enclosing the geometric shape within a larger rectangle of white or for hazard description (warning) labels of yellow or white. 3.2 Chromaticity The chromaticity of the single-panel product safety labels shall be in accordance with Table 1.

In many cases, both hazard description and hazard avoidance information must be communicated for the same hazard. A multi-panel product safety label (see ISO 11684) is appropriate in such cases. Alternatively, it is possible to use two or more single-panel product safety labels in conjunction with one another. For example, a single-panel hazard description (warning) product safety label may be placed adjacent to a single-panel mandatory action product safety label and/or single-panel prohibited action product safety label. 4.2 Types of label There are three types of single-panel product safety label: hazard description (warning) product safety labels (see 4.4); prohibited action product safety labels (see 4.5); mandatory action product safety labels (see 4.6). 4.3 Geometric shape and colour of label Single-panel product safety labels use geometric shapes, colours, and hazard pictorials (graphical symbols) to communicate information about hazards, prohibited actions and mandatory actions. When a geometric shape is used around a hazard pictorial, the corresponding safety colour shall identify the type of safety information to be conveyed by the hazard pictorial. See Table 2. Table 2 Geometric shapes and colours of single-panel product safety labels Geometric shape Meaning Safety colour Contrast colourHazard pictorial colour Description Hazard description (Warning) Yellow Black Black Black hazard pictorial on yellow equilateral triangle enclosed by black triangular band Warns that hazard exists and describes its nature and/or consequences Prohibited action Red White Black Black hazard pictorial on white circle enclosed by red circular band with red diagonal bar Depicts action NOT to be taken or action to be stopped in order to avoid hazard Mandatory action Blue White White White hazard pictorial on blue circle Depicts action to be taken in order to avoid hazard BS ISO 17080:2005 Licensed Copy: London South Bank University, London South Bank University, Sun Apr 01 14:46:12 GMT+00:00 2007, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI 4 4.4 Single-panel hazard description (warning) product safety label 4.4.1 Application Hazard description (warning) product safety labels indicate a potential personal injury hazard. Single-panel labels of this type communicate information about a hazard and/or its potential consequences by a combination of geometric shape, colour and hazard-description pictorial. 4.4.2 Format Single-panel hazard description (warning) product safety labels shall conform to the format as shown in Figure 1. Their geometric shape shall consist of an equilateral triangular band with rounded corners of nominal radius 0,06 b. The background colour shall be yellow. The triangular band shall be black. If a border is used, it shall be yellow with a width of 0,025 b to 0,05 b. The hazard description pictorial representing the hazard shall be black. The label may be placed on a yellow or white background panel. Colours Background: yellow Triangular band: black Pictorial: black Border: yellow Figure 1 Format of single-panel hazard description (warning) product safety label 4.5 Single-panel prohibited action product safety label 4.5.1 Application Prohibited action product safety labels indicate that a specified action is not to be taken or is to be stopped in order avoid a hazard. Single-panel labels of this type communicate information about how a hazard can be avoided by a combination of geometric shape, colour, and hazard avoidance pictorial. 4.5.2 Format Single-panel prohibited action product safety labels shall conform to the format as shown in Figure 2. Their geometric shape shall consist of a circular band with diagonal bar. The background colour shall be white. The circular band and diagonal bar shall be red. If a border is used, it shall be white with a width of 0,025 d to 0,05 d. The hazard avoidance pictorial representing the prohibited action shall be black and shall be placed within the red circular band with diagonal bar. The label may be placed on a white background panel.
