Safety Signs Labels

摘要

The american national standards Institute (ANSI) accredits the National Electrical Manufacturers Assn. (NEMA), which, in April 1992, published ANSI Z535.4-1991, Product Safety Signs and Labels. This standard is one of a series of standards that includes: 1. Z535.1, Safety Color Code 2. Z535.2, Environmental and Facility Safety Signs 3. Z535.3, Criteria for Safety Symbols 4. Z535.5, Accident Prevention Tags (for Temporary Hazards) This standard was revised and approved in 1998, and the Z535 Committee is nearing completion of another revision. The standard's stated purpose is: 1) to establish a uniform and consistent visual layout for safety signs and labels applied to a wide variety of products; 2) to minimize the proliferation of designs for product safety signs and labels; and 3) to achieve application of a national uniform system for the recognition of potential personal injury hazards for those persons using products [ANSI(b) 1].
