Diese Internationale Norm legt eine Reihe von Bildzeichen fest, die üblicherweise für die Markierung von Transportverpackung bei der physischen Warenverteilung benutzt werden, um Anweisungen für die Handhabung zu geben. Die Bildzeichen sollten nur benutzt werden, wenn dies erforderlich ist. Diese Internationale Norm wird für Verpackungen für jeglichen Inhalt angewendet, aber sie beinhaltet keine spezielle Anweisungen für die Handhabung von gefährlichen Gütern.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
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, governmental 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.
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 member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 780 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 780:1985), which has been technically revised.
Annex A of this international Standard is for information only.

Introduction
Packages are often marked with handling instructions in the language of the country of origin. While this may
safeguard the consignment to some extent, it is of little value for goods consigned to, or through, countries using
different languages, and of no value at all if people handling the packages are illiterate.
Pictorial symbols offer the best possibility of conveying the consignor’s intention and their adoption will, therefore,
undoubtedly reduce loss and damage through incorrect handling.
The symbols specified are in accordance with the rules of ISO/TC 145, Graphical symbols.
The use of pictorial symbols does not provide any guarantee of satisfactory handling; proper protective packaging is
therefore of primary importance.

Packaging — Pictorial marking for handling goods
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a set of symbols conventionally used for marking of transport packages in their
physical distribution chain to convey handling instructions. The symbols should be used only when necessary.
This International Standard is applicable to packages containing any kind of goods, but does not include instructions
specific to the handling of dangerous goods.
2 Symbols
2.1  Display of symbols
Symbols should preferably be stencilled directly on the package or may appear on a label. It is recommended that
the symbols be painted, printed or otherwise reproduced as specified in this International Standard. They need not
be framed by border lines.
The graphical design of each symbol shall have only one meaning; symbols are purposely designed so that they
can also be stencilled without changing the graphics.
2.2  Colour of symbols
The colour used for symbols shall be black.
If the 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 which could result in confusion with the labelling of dangerous
goods. The use of red, orange or yellow shall be avoided unless regional or national regulations require such use.
2.3  Size of symbols
For normal purposes the overall height of the symbols shall be 100 mm, 150 mm or 200 mm.
