The Z535 Committee has the following scope: To develop standards for the desi

29、gn, application, and use of signs, colors and symbols intended to identify and warn against specific hazards and for other accident prevention purposes. While the basic mission and fundamental purpose of the ANSI Z535 Committee is to develop, refine, and promote a single, uniform graphic system used

30、 for communicating safety and accident prevention information, the Z535 Committee recognizes that this information can also be effectively communicated using other graphic systems. The Z535 Committee created subcommittees to update the Z53 and Z35 standards and to write new standards. To date, the f

31、ollowing six standards comprise the ANSI Z535 series: ANSI Z535.1 Safety Colors ANSI Z53.1-1979 was updated and combined into this standard in 1991 ANSI Z535.2 Environmental and Facility Safety Signs ANSI Z35.1-1972 and Z35.4-1972 were updated and combined into this standard in 1991 ANSI Z535.3 Crit

32、eria for Safety Symbols new in 1991 ANSI Z535.4 Product Safety Signs and Labels new in 1991 ANSI Z535.5 Safety Tags and Barricade Tapes (for Temporary Hazards) ANSI Z35.2-1974 was updated and combined into this standard in 1991 ANSI Z535.6 Product Safety Information in Product Manuals, Instructions,

33、 and Other Collateral Materials new in 2006 Together, these six standards contain information needed to specify formats, colors, and symbols for safety signs used in environmental and facility applications, product and product literature applications, and temporary safety tag and barricade tape appl

34、ications. Published separately is the ANSI Z535 Safety Color Chart. This chart gives the user a sample of each of the safety colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, grey, white, and black. It also describes each colors ink formulation and closest PANTONE color. This ANSI Z535.6 stan

35、dard was prepared by the Z535.6 Subcommittee on Product Safety Information in Product Manuals, Instructions, and Other Collateral Materials. The foreword and all annexes are considered to be informative; the body is considered normative. In the vocabulary of writing standards, the word “informative“

36、 is meant to convey that the content presented is for informational purposes only and is not considered to be mandatory in nature. The word “normative“ is meant to convey that the context is considered to be mandatory or prescriptive. The 1991 standards, which became available in 1992, were revised

37、and a new edition was published in 1998. The 1998 edition of ANSI Z535.4 contained an Annex (Annex A, Guidelines for Increasing Recognition of Safety Label Components), which encouraged manufacturers to describe on-product safety label components (e.g., safety alert symbol, signal words, or safety s

38、ymbols) in collateral materials (e.g., operation manuals, instructions, safety literature, or service manuals) used with the product. The 1998 standards were subsequently revised to produce the 2002 edition. In the course of preparing the 2002 edition of the Z535 standards, the ANSI Z535 Accredited

39、Standards Committee considered the merits and practicality of developing a new standard addressing the presentation of safety messages in collateral materials such as owners manuals, instruction books, and troubleshooting and repair manuals. In 2002, the committee voted to form a new subcommittee, A

40、NSI Z535.6. The purpose of this new subcommittee is to develop a standard to complement the existing Z535 standards by addressing various aspects of the provision of safety information in collateral materials. This ANSI Z535.6-2011 viii standard was prepared by Subcommittee Z535.6 on Product Safety

41、Information in Product Manuals, Instructions, and Other Collateral Materials. The 2011 edition of this standard was revised with minor clarifications and updated to permit the use of the safety alert symbol in the middle of a line of text. In addition, the definitions for “accident,” “harm,” and “in

42、cident” were refined across the Z535 series to more clearly delineate a separation between physical injury and other safety-related issues (e.g., property damage). Due to the differences in color printing technologies and color monitors, the appearance of colors in this document may not be accurate.

43、 See the ANSI Z535-2011 Safety Color Chart for the purpose of viewing accurate colors. Proposals for improvement of this standard are welcome. Information concerning submittal of proposals to the ANSI Z535 Committee for consideration can be found at the back of this standard. This standard was proce

44、ssed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the Accredited Standards Committee Z535 on Safety Signs and Colors. Committee approval of this standard does not necessarily imply that all committee members voted for its approval. At the time it approved this standard, the Z535 Committee had the following

Jay Martin Institute of Electrical address multiple hazards and contain multiple safety messages; provide longer and more detailed safety messages; contain multiple pages of information that cannot

49、 be viewed simultaneously; and provide information that would be impractical to provide on product safety signs, such as definitions of the safety alert symbol, signal words, and safety symbols. Safety information in collateral materials must often be integrated with non-safety information. Because collateral materials are not typically attached to the product, issues related to reading conditions, distinctiveness, placement, expected life, and maintenance are different. In addition, the concept of a safe viewing distance is not generally applicable. To respond
