Revision of design principles for safety signs that will be included
in a revision of British Standards..ISO 3864 Part 1 2000
ISO 3864-1:2011 establishes the safety identification colours and design principles for safety signs and safety markings to be used in workplaces and in public areas for the purpose of accident prevention, fire protection, health hazard information and emergency evacuation. It also establishes the basic principles to be applied when developing standards containing safety signs.
ISO 3864-1:2011 is applicable to all locations where safety issues related to people need to be addressed.

ISO 3864 Part 4 2011 Revision. Clearer guidelines on safety Sign Colours
ISO 3864-4:2011 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.
The physical requirements that safety signs have to meet are primarily related to daytime colour and normally lit environments. ISO 3864-4:2011 also includes the colorimetric requirements and test methods for safety signs and phosphorescent material which also operate in unlit environments.
ISO 3864-4:2011 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.
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 ISO 3864-4:2011.

Going Green!
In an initiative to reduce our industry's waste, the HSSA whose members make up a significant proportion of the sign makers in the UK have implemented a strategy to minimise the landfill waste we produce. A new waste reduction strategy have also been introduced to deal with all aspects of our various production and packaging materials. The HSSA believe that this step will significantly reduce our impact on the environment.
