The international language of

ISO graphical symbols

Graphical symbols are vital for giving information when written words are not adequate.

International Standards developed by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) provide

people all over the world with a coherent set of graphical symbols to help overcome language and

other barriers.

A technical committee, ISO/TC 145 , Graphical symbols, has deined internationally accepted

requirements for designs, colours, content and shapes of graphical symbols.

These symbols convey important messages about product features, directions and other aspects

of daily life – whether at work, at home, or for leisure. Critical areas include health and safety-

related warnings, prohibitions and mandatory actions.

We invite you to see irst-hand how ISO graphical symbols help keep you safe and well-informed.
