19、ished hasthe right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, inliaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International ElectrotechnicalCommission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
20、International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.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
21、 member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject ofpatent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.International Standard ISO 15870 was prepared by Technical

28、om the hazard, andGbe to instruct persons about how to avoid the hazard.3.2 In achieving these objectives, a safety signGbe should be distinctive on the equipment,Gbe should be in a clearly visible location,Gbe should be protected to the greatest extent practicable from damage and obliteration, andG
29、be should have a reasonably long life expectancy.3.3 Safety signs and hazard pictorials shall be located on the machine or in the operating service instructionmanuals, as appropriate. Safety signs and hazard pictorials located on the machine shall be located near thelocation of the hazard or the con
30、trol area to prevent the hazard.SANS 15870:2007This s tandard may only be used and printed by approved subscription and freemailing clients of the SABS .ISO 15870:2000(E)2 ISO 2000 All rights reserved3.4 Care shall be taken to prevent excessive need/use of safety signs and hazard pictorials on the m
31、achine,because overuse can reduce their effectiveness.NOTE Experience has indicated that the effectiveness of safety signs and hazard pictorials is reduced when they begin toexceed approximately seven in number, particularly if they are in close proximity to one another.3.5 Safety signs and hazard p
32、ictorials can be used in operator and service instruction manuals to highlight areasrequiring special care. Their use in manuals is not subject to the requirement in 3.4.4 Formats for safety signs4.1 GeneralA safety sign is composed of a border surrounding two or more rectangular panels that convey
33、information abouthazards associated with the operation of a product.There are four standard formats for safety signs:Gbe two-panel safety sign: signal panel, message panel (see 4.2);Gbe three-panel safety sign: signal panel, pictorial panel, message panel (see 4.3);Gbe two-panel safety sign: pictori
34、al panel, message panel (see 4.4);Gbe two-panel safety sign: two pictorial panels (see 4.5).Variations on these standard formats may be appropriate for some situations.A vertical configuration is usually preferred, although a horizontal configuration is acceptable. The final choice ofsafety sign for
35、mat and configuration should be determined by whichever alternative is judged to communicate mosteffectively, by the geographical and language areas where the product will be marketed, by legal requirements, andby the space available for the safety sign.4.2 Two-panel safety signs: signal panel, mess

The signal word alerts viewers to theexisten
48、ce and relative seriousness of a hazard.The three signal words are reserved for personal injury hazards. The choice of the signal word is based upon anestimate of the likelihood of exposure to the hazard and of the probable consequences of exposure to the hazard.Gbe DANGER: The signal word DANGER in
49、dicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, willresult in death or serious injury. Safety signs identified by the signal word DANGER should be used sparinglyand only for those situations presenting the most serious hazards.Gbe WARNING: The signal word WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, couldresult in death or serious injury. Hazards identified by the signal word WARNING present a lesser degree ofrisk of injury or death than those identified by the signal word DAN
