12、ANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial
13、 agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use
14、 of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American Nationa
15、l Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Ins
16、titute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be ta
17、ken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute.

32、mittee on Safety Signs and Colors. The Z535 Committee has the following scope: To develop standards for the design, application, and use of signs, colors, and symbols intended to identify and warn against specific hazards and for other accident prevention purposes. While the basic mission and fundam
33、ental purpose of the ANSI Z535 Committee is to develop, refine, and promote a single, uniform graphic system used for communicating safety and accident prevention information, the Z535 Committee recognizes that this information can also be effectively communicated using other graphic systems. The Z5
34、35 Committees created subcommittees to update the Z53 and Z35 standards and to write new standards. To date, the following six standards comprise the ANSI Z535 series: ANSI Z535.1 Safety Colors ANSI Z53.1-1979 was updated and combined into this standard in 1991 ANSI Z535.2 Environmental and Facility
35、 Safety Signs ANSI Z35.1-1972 and Z35.4-1972 were updated and combined into this standard in 1991 ANSI Z535.3 Criteria for Safety Symbols new in 1991 ANSI Z535.4 Product Safety Signs and Labels new in 1991 ANSI Z535.5 Safety Tags and Barricade Tapes (for Temporary Hazards) ANSI Z35.2-1974 was update
36、d and combined into this standard in 1991 ANSI Z535.6 Product Safety Information in Product Manuals, Instructions, and Other Collateral Materials new in 2006 Together, these six standards contain the information needed to specify formats, colors, and symbols for safety signs used in environmental an
37、d facility applications, product and product literature applications, and temporary safety tag and barricade tape applications. Published separately is the ANSI Z535 Safety Color Chart. This chart gives the user a sample of each of the safety colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown,
38、grey, white, and black. It also describes each colors ink formulation and closest PANTONE color. This ANSI Z535.5 standard was prepared by the Z535.5 Subcommittee on Safety Tags and Barricade Tapes (for Temporary Hazards). The foreword and all of the annexes are considered to be informative; the bod
39、y is considered normative. In the vocabulary of writing standards, the word “informative” is meant to convey that the content presented is for informational purposes only and is not considered to be mandatory in nature. The word “normative“ is meant to convey that the content is considered to be man
40、datory or prescriptive. The first edition of this standard was made available to the public in 1992. Recognizing the differences between environmental and on-product safety signs, the standard focused on how to carry forward the requirements for hazard alerting stated in both the ANSI Z535.2 Standar
41、d and the ANSI Z535.4 Standard through the media of safety tags. In the 1998 and 2002 revisions notable changes included the format of signal word panels. The format of these panels is now uniform across the ANSI Z535.2, ANSI Z535.4, and ANSI Z535.5 Standards and most closely resembles the format or
42、iginally used in ANSI Z535.4. In 2002, requirements and guidelines for the design of safety barricade tapes were introduced. In the 2007 revision, Annex C was added to provide assistance in selecting a signal word, and Annex D was created to separate the normative references from the informative ref
43、erences. The 2011 edition of this standard was revised to better harmonize with the ANSI Z535.2, Z535.4 and Z535.6 standards. A new type of safety tag, the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS tag, was added to the standard, in addition to the existing types of signs, hazard alerting tags and barricade tapes and saf
44、ety ANSI Z535.5-2011 viii notice tags and barricade tapes, which were more clearly defined and named in this edition. In tandem with these changes, the definitions for “accident,” “harm,” and “incident” were refined to more clearly delineate a separation between physical injury and other safety-rela
45、ted issues (e.g., property damage). Proposals for improvement of this standard are welcome. Information concerning submittal of proposals to the ANSI Z535 Committee for consideration can be found at the back of this standard. This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the Accr
46、edited Standards Committee Z535 on Safety Signs and Colors. Committee approval of this standard does not necessarily imply that all committee members voted for its approval. At the time it approved this standard, the Z535 Committee had the following members: Gary M. Bell, Chair Richard Olesen, Vice
