16、-1:2008(E) iv ISO 2008 All rights reservedForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member
17、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 Electr
18、otechnical 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
19、 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
20、rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 20712-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 145, Graphical symbols, Subcommittee SC 2, Safety identification, signs, shapes, symbols and colours. ISO 20712 consists of the following parts, under the g
21、eneral title Water safety signs and beach safety flags: Part 1: Specifications for water safety signs used in workplaces and public areas Part 2: Specifications for beach safety flags Colour, shape, meaning and performance Part 3: Guidance for use SANS 20712-1:2008This standard may only be used and
22、printed by approved subscription and freemailing clients of the SABS.ISO 20712-1:2008(E) ISO 2008 All rights reserved v Introduction There is a need to standardize a system giving safety information related to aquatic activity that relies as little as possible on the use of words to achieve understa
23、nding. Continued growth in international trade, travel and mobility of labour requires a common method of communicating safety information. Lack of standardization may lead to confusion and perhaps accidents. The use of standardized safety signs does not replace proper work methods, instructions and
24、 accident prevention training and/or measures. Education is an essential part of any system that provides safety information. This part of ISO 20712 is intended to be used by all Technical Committees within ISO charged with developing specific safety signing in places of aquatic activity to ensure t
25、hat there is only one safety sign for each safety meaning. It is also intended that this part of ISO 20712 be revised regularly to include safety signs as they are standardized by ISO, and which conform to the principles given in ISO 3864-1 and the design criteria given in ISO 3864-3. NOTE 1 Some co
26、untries statutory regulations may differ in some respect from those given in this part of ISO 20712. NOTE 2 Some countries may differ in some respect from the requirements given in this part of ISO 20712 in that they use the diamond geometric shape for warning signs. SANS 20712-1:2008This standard m

28、ns and beach safety flags Part 1: Specifications for water safety signs used in workplaces and public areas IMPORTANT The colours represented in the electronic file of this part of ISO 20712 can be neither viewed on screen nor printed as true representations. Although the copies of this part of ISO
29、20712 printed by ISO have been produced to correspond (with an acceptable tolerance as judged by the naked eye) to the requirements of ISO 3864-1, it is not intended that these printed copies be used for colour matching. Instead, consult ISO 3864-1, which provides colorimetric and photometric proper
30、ties, together with, as a guideline, references from colour order systems. 1 Scope This part of ISO 20712 prescribes water safety signs intended for use in connection with the aquatic environment. It is intended for use by owners and operators of aquatic environments and by manufacturers of signs an
31、d equipment. However, it is not applicable to signalling used for maritime traffic. The shape and colour required to be used for safety signs, as prescribed by ISO 3864-1, are given together with the graphical symbols contained within each sign. The water safety sign originals meet the design criter
32、ia of ISO 3864-3. This part of ISO 20712 specifies the water safety sign originals that may be scaled for reproduction and application purposes. This part of ISO 20712 includes water safety signs which require that supplementary text signs be used in conjunction with these water safety signs to impr
33、ove comprehension. NOTE The criteria of acceptability adopted by ISO/TC 145/SC 2 are given on website www.iso.org/tc145/sc2. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
