15、2 All irthgs ersedevrForeword 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 body interested in a
16、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 Electrotechnical Commission
17、 (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 by the technical com
18、mittees 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 rights. ISO shall not
19、 be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 17398 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 145, Graphical symbols, Subcommittee SC 2, Safety identification, signs, shapes, symbols and colours.

20、This International Standard has been prepared to provide manufacturers/suppliers and purchasers with the means for agreeing and specifying performance parameters for safety signs. The performance parameters agreed for each safety sign shall be maintained throughout that products expected service lif
21、e. This International Standard requires manufacturers/suppliers to classify products and provide comprehensive product descriptions. Both manufacturer/supplier and purchaser have the possibility to specify product requirements in terms of performance levels, and where appropriate, the expected servi
22、ce environment. Consistent use of this International Standard will assist in improving knowledge of the requirements set out below and further understanding of the performance of various types of safety signs in everyday use.

24、 materials, photometric properties, means of illumination, fixing methods and surface. Performance criteria and test methods are specified in this International Standard so that properties related to durability and expected service life can be characterized and specified at the time of the products
25、delivery to the purchaser. This International Standard does not cover electrical power supplies, their components or electrically powered elements. It also does not cover properties of illuminating components, but the photometric properties for the particular types of safety signs are covered. 2 Nor
