15、SO 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, gov
16、ernmental 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/IEC
17、 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 membe
18、r bodies casting a vote. ISO 3864-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 145, Graphical symbols, Subcommittee SC 2, Safety identification, signs, shapes, symbols and colours. This part of ISO 3864, together with ISO 3864-1:, cancels and replaces ISO 3864-1:2002, which has been technically revi
19、sed. ISO 3864 consists of the following parts, under the general title Graphical symbols Safety colours and safety signs: Part 1: Design principles for safety signs and safety markings Part 2: Design principles for product safety labels Part 3: Design principles for graphical symbols for use in safe
20、ty signs Part 4: Colorimetric and photometric properties of safety sign materials BS ISO 3864-4:2011ISO 3864-4:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights reserved vIntroduction This part of ISO 3864 has been prepared to provide manufacturers/suppliers of safety signs and test laboratories and instrument manufactur
21、ers with specifications of the colorimetric and photometric properties of safety signs comprising different types of material and with test methods. Consistent use of this part of ISO 3864 will assist in improving knowledge of safety-sign requirements and in furthering understanding of the performan
22、ce of various types of safety signs in everyday use. This part of ISO 3864 is intended to be used by all Technical Committees within ISO charged with developing specific safety signing for their industry, to ensure that there is only one set of colorimetric and photometric requirements and test meth
23、ods for safety signs. Note that some countries statutory regulations may differ in some respect from those given in this part of ISO 3864.

24、t 4: Colorimetric and photometric properties of safety sign materials IMPORTANT The electronic file of this document contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct understanding of the document. Users should therefore consider printing this document using a colour printer. 1 Scop
25、e This part of ISO 3864 establishes the colorimetric and photometric requirements and test methods for the colours of safety signs to be used in workplaces and public areas. It provides the colorimetric and photometric specifications for the named safety and contrast colours prescribed in ISO 3864-1
26、. The physical requirements that safety signs have to meet are primarily related to daytime colour and normally lit environments. This part of ISO 3864 also includes the colorimetric requirements and test methods for safety signs and phosphorescent material which also operate in unlit environments.
27、This part of ISO 3864 is applicable to all locations where safety issues related to people need to be addressed. However, it is not applicable to signalling used for guiding rail, road, river, maritime and air traffic and, generally speaking, to those sectors subject to a regulation that may differ.
28、 The colorimetric and photometric properties of retroreflective safety signs, retroreflective materials combined with fluorescent or phosphorescent materials, or luminous safety signs activated by a radioactive source are not specified in this part of ISO 3864. 2 Normative references The following r

T
39、he safety colours and contrast colours for the geometric shape of safety signs and the graphical symbols for particular types of safety signs are given in ISO 3864-1. The requirements are based on the CIE 2 standard colorimetric observer, as specified in CIE 15. Where the requirement involves the co
40、lour of the sign material under external illumination, the requirements are based on CIE Standard illuminant D65 at either an angle of 45 with the normal to the surface and the observation made in the direction of the normal (45a:0 geometry) or normal to the surface and observation made in the direc
41、tion of 45 to the surface (0:45a geometry). Requirements and test methods are given for safety signs in lit and unlit conditions. NOTE Information on colour characteristics of externally illuminated, internally illuminated and phosphorescent materials is given in Annex A. Safety signs without an int
42、egral source of light are required to be externally illuminated for their intended function. Internally illuminated safety signs are classified as “maintained” (integral light source is powered) or “non-maintained” (sign is externally illuminated when the integral light source is unpowered, but in a
43、n emergency condition the integral light source is powered). If the sign is intended to be dimmed, the requirements need to be met under this condition as well. Phosphorescent safety signs have applications in both lit and unlit environments. For example, during an emergency, the excited phosphoresc
44、ent materials emit light over a period of time. Requirements are specified in terms of colour region for each named colour. Requirements for safety signs comprised of ordinary materials are specified in 4.2.1. Requirements for non- maintained internally illuminated safety signs are specified in 4.2.
