ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intend

24、s the fourth edition (ISO 780:1997), which has been technically revised.All the 17 graphical symbols in this International Standard have already been modified to accord with IEC 80416-1:2008, Basic principles for graphical symbols for use on equipment Part 1: Creation of graphical symbols for regist

26、ng Pictorial marking for handling of goods“Distribution packaging” is preferred to “transport packaging” in this standard. The reason is that “transport packaging” does not include “stored” packages, for example, in the practice of “transport packaging for dangerous goods”. ISO 780 concerns with pac
27、kages during storage as well as those during transport.“Pictorial marking” is replaced by “graphical symbols” to coincide with TC 145s way of addressing pictorial marking.b) Introduction:Statements on safety issue and hand-written symbols have been added.c) Handling instructions:The order of the gra
28、phical symbols has been re-arranged in the following order.1) Graphical symbols used for large-sized packages.iv ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 780:2015ISO 780:2015(E)2) Graphical symbols used for middle and small-sized packages: For all types of handling; For manual handling; For handling us

30、. ISO 2015 All rights reserved vBS EN ISO 780:2015ISO 780:2015(E)IntroductionPackages are often marked with handling instructions in the language of the country of origin. While this may safeguard the consignment in the areas using the same language, it is of little value for goods consigned to, or
31、through, countries using different languages, and of no value at all if people handling the packages are illiterate.Graphical symbols offer the best possibility of conveying the consignors intention and their adoption will; therefore, undoubtedly reduce loss and damage through incorrect handling. Mo
32、reover, graphical symbols help ensure safety of workers, who cannot grasp such important information as structure, gravity centre, property, and strength of a package while handling distribution packages.The graphical symbols specified are in accordance with the rules of ISO/TC 145/SC 3, Graphical s
33、ymbols for use on equipment.The use of graphical symbols does not provide any guarantee of satisfactory handling; safely and properly protective packaging is therefore of primary importance.Distribution packages could deteriorate as time passes and sometimes cannot withstand normal handling before t
34、hey reach the final destination. In such case, according to the provisions of the distribution contract, we need to decide whether to stop shipping and storing them or to continue to use them by putting proper graphical symbols on them. In any case, handwritten symbols are partially accepted in this
35、 standard so that the proper symbols can be added to do the needful on the spot.vi ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 780:2015INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 780:2015(E)Packaging Distribution packaging Graphical symbols for handling and storage of packages1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies a
36、 set of graphical symbols conventionally used for marking of distribution packages in their physical distribution chain to convey handling instructions. The graphical symbols should be used only when necessary.This International Standard is applicable to packages containing any kind of goods, but do
37、es not include instructions specific to handling of dangerous goods.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
38、 the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.ISO 2331, Fork lift trucks Hook-on type fork arms VocabularyISO 4306-1, Cranes Vocabulary Part 1: GeneralISO 5053, Powered industrial trucks TerminologyISO 7000, Graphical symbols for use on equipment Registered symbol
39、sISO 21067, Packaging Vocabulary3 Graphical Symbols3.1 GeneralIn order to ensure safe, proper and efficient handling of distribution packages, display, colour, size, number and position of graphical symbols shall be considered.3.2 Display of graphical symbolsFor large packages, graphical symbols sho
40、uld preferably be stencilled directly on the package or may appear on a label. It is recommended that the graphical symbols should be printed, painted or otherwise reproduced as specified in this International Standard. They need not be framed by border lines.The graphical design of each symbol shal
41、l have only one meaning; symbols are purposely designed so that they can also be stencilled without changing the graphics. The change of the graphics, however, is accepted to facilitate the forming of stencil.3.3 Colour of graphical symbolsThe colour used for graphical symbols shall be black.If the
42、colour of the package is such that the black symbol would not show clearly, a panel of a suitable contrasting colour, preferably white, shall be provided as a background.Care shall be taken to avoid the use of colours such as red, orange or yellow, which could result in confusion with the labelling
43、of dangerous goods. ISO 2015 All rights reserved 1BS EN ISO 780:2015ISO 780:2015(E)3.4 Size of graphical symbolsFor normal purposes the overall height of the graphical symbols shall be 100mm, 150mm or 200mm.Depending on the size or shape of the package; however, the size of the graphical symbols may
44、 be larger or smaller provided that the visibility of the graphical symbols is retained.Different horizontal/vertical ratio may be applied to enhance the visibility of the graphical symbols provided that the original meaning is retained.3.5 Number of graphical symbolsFor graphical symbols No. 1, 2,
45、3, 8, and 13, how many graphical symbols shall be placed for a package is specified in Clause 4.A package shall have a minimum number of types of graphical symbols as needed.3.6 Position of graphical symbolsFor graphical symbols No. 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 13, at which position graphical symbols sh
46、all be placed on a package is specified in Clause 4.4 Meaning and requirements of the graphical symbols4.1 GeneralMeaning and requirements for each symbol shall be indicated on distribution packages by using the corresponding graphical symbols given in Tables 1 to 4.For graphical symbols No. 4, 5, 6
47、, 7, 9, 15, 16 and 17, the prohibition symbol may be hand written.For graphical symbols No. 15 and 16, the number “n” may be corrected by hand.NOTE Distribution packages will deteriorate as time passes and sometimes cannot withstand normal handling before they reach the final destination. In such ca
48、se, according to the provisions of the distribution contract, we need to decide whether to stop shipping and storing them or to continue to use them by putting proper graphical symbols on them.
