9、(ISO member bodies). 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, g
10、overnmental 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/I
11、EC 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 mem
12、ber 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 20712-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 145, Graphical symb
13、ols, Subcommittee SC 2, Safety identification, signs, shapes, symbols and colours. ISO 20712 consists of the following parts, under the general title Water safety signs and beach safety flags: Part 1: Specifications for water safety signs used in workplaces and public areas Part 2: Specifications fo
14、r beach safety flags Colour, shape, meaning and performance Part 3: Guidance for use 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
15、achieve understanding. 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,
16、instructions and 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 acti
17、vity to ensure that 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
18、. NOTE 1 Some countries 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. INTERNATIONAL ST
19、ANDARD ISO 20712-1:2008(E) ISO 2008 All rights reserved 1 Water safety signs 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
20、 printed as true representations. Although the copies of this part of ISO 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. Inste
21、ad, consult ISO 3864-1, which provides colorimetric and photometric properties, 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 own
22、ers and operators of aquatic environments and by manufacturers of signs and 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 containe
23、d within each sign. The water safety sign originals meet the design criteria 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 supplementa
24、ry text signs be used in conjunction with these water safety signs to improve 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 th

39、ling. The sign illustrations are shown without borders in order to allow for consistent reproduction scaling, though the use of borders is encouraged as defined by ISO 3864-1. The safety signs should be reproduced exactly as shown in Tables 3 to 6. However some degree of graphical modification is pe
40、rmitted when cultural differences or special application formats need to be considered, provided the original meaning is retained and comprehension of the sign is maintained. Consistent reproduction and use of these safety signs will lead to a progressively improved degree of comprehension at the in
41、ternational level. In cases where the orientation of the symbol is not essential to its meaning, the orientation may be changed. A graphical symbol may be depicted in outline or filled-in form. Tables 3 to 6 present the safety sign originals according to their category as follows: E Means of escape
42、and emergency equipment signs (safe condition signs) see Table 3 M Mandatory action signs see Table 4 P Prohibition signs see Table 5 W Warning signs see Table 6 Tables 3 to 6 also give a description of the application used for each safety sign.
