Overview

ISO 7010:2019/Amd 11:2026 is an amendment to the internationally recognized standard ISO 7010, which prescribes requirements for graphical symbols used in safety signs and safety colours. This amendment introduces a set of new registered safety signs designed to enhance safety communication, particularly in environments such as ski resorts, outdoor recreational facilities, and areas exposed to specific weather hazards. By standardizing graphical symbols, ISO 7010 ensures clear and consistent messaging, aiding rapid recognition and comprehension to help prevent accidents and injuries.

Key Topics

• New Safety Signs: The amendment adds multiple safety signs focusing on winter sports and weather-related warnings, ensuring comprehensive communication in relevant environments.
  • E071: Rescue toboggan
  • M063: Remove ski pole strap from wrist
  • M064: Hold two ski poles with a single hand
  • M065: Children must be accompanied
  • M066: Wear a sports helmet
  • M067: Wear snow goggles
  • P076: No skiing
  • P077: No snowboarding
  • P078: No tobogganing or sledding
  • P079: No ice skating
  • W082: Warning; Crevasses under snow
  • W083: Warning; Avalanche
  • W084: Warning; Thunderstorm
  • W085: Warning; Typhoon/hurricane/cyclone zone
• Consistency and Clarity: ISO 7010 uses standardized graphical symbols, reducing language barriers and ensuring immediate understanding in safety-critical situations.
• Supplementary Text: For all new symbols, it is recommended that supplementary text or training be provided to enhance comprehension, in accordance with ISO 9186-1 guidelines.
• Safety Colours: The standard maintains guidance on safety colours to ensure high visibility and universal recognition.

Applications

The newly registered safety signs in ISO 7010:2019/Amd 11:2026 have practical applications in a variety of settings, ensuring the safety of both employees and the public:

• Ski Resorts and Winter Recreation Facilities: Mandatory signs for helmet use, snow goggles, and proper handling of ski equipment promote accident prevention. Prohibition signs indicate restricted areas for skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, and ice skating.
• Outdoor Environments: Warning signs for crevasses, avalanches, thunderstorms, and cyclone-prone areas play a vital role in hazard communication, especially in mountainous or weather-exposed locations.
• Family and Child Safety: The sign indicating children must be accompanied enhances child safety in environments where there is a risk of injury when children are unsupervised.
• Emergency Response: The rescue toboggan sign improves the ability to locate emergency equipment quickly, aiding in timely response during incidents.

Adoption of ISO 7010 safety symbols supports compliance with international best practices, aids risk management initiatives, and improves overall workplace and public safety by leveraging universally recognized visual communication.

Related Standards

Implementation of ISO 7010:2019/Amd 11:2026 may involve reference to additional standards for effective application:

• ISO 7010:2019: The base standard for graphical symbols-safety colours and safety signs.
• ISO 3864-4: Provides guidance on the colorimetric and photometric properties of safety colours.
• ISO 9186-1: Specifies the methods for testing the comprehensibility of graphical symbols.
• ISO/IEC Directives: Covers the procedures for standardization work and document drafting.

Using these related ISO standards alongside ISO 7010 ensures robust, clear, and effective safety signage that meets global expectations across industries.

Adopting the latest amendment to ISO 7010 helps organizations reinforce their commitment to safety, regulatory compliance, and effective hazard communication using internationally recognized safety signs and symbols.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
