Safety Sign Symbols have changed...


As a leading supplier of health and safety signs, the last 12 months have seen big changes to the symbols used on large portions of our range of safety signs

If you are one of our regular clients, you will have noticed changes to the symbols and many of the safety signs we supply.  This is due to ISO 7010.

What is ISO 7010 (European Normative) Safety Sign Legislation?

Back in 2003 ISO 7010 was introduced.  This was a standard aimed at creating uniformity with the safety symbols used on safety signs throughout Europe.  Essentially this was a recommended practice allowing Britain to continue to utilise it’s own standard of BS 5499.

It was perfectly acceptable to use safety signs conforming to BS 5499 or ISO 7010, with the only stipulation being that the two standards should not be used in the same workplace.

From January 2013 ISO 7010 will be written in to European Law meaning that the UK and other members will have to adopt this new standard EN 7010

Sound’s like a big change…

As a leading supplier we manufacture and distribute a wide range of Safety Signs.  The logistical impact of changing 1000’s of designs is a big change, which is why we have phased it in through planned phases over the last 12 months.

From 1st January 2013 all Safety Signs and Labels purchased from us will comply with EN 7010

Why are the symbols changing?

There is massive diversity throughout through Europe with regards to language, literacy and ability.  EN 7010 is an international standard for Safety Signs that aims to be understood by everyone, regardless or language or disability.

Essentially this means that all sign symbols will be uniform throughout Europe.

Do I need to do anything?

Nothing at all!  ISO 7010 applies to all workplaces and premises and the best Health and Safety advice is to ensure your Safety Signs comply with latest legislation.  As a customer of The Label People, you can be sure your signs comply.

According to this recent article 56% of on-line retailers are not displaying full energy label information.


In addition 30% of high street traders are displaying labels that are inaccurate when compared to the manufacturers specification





I guess it's a case of not just taking the information at face value and always verifying the information post purchase.


Our digital and flexographic presses produce high quality energy labels in both low and high volume.  However it seems it must be down to the end user now to confirm the right label is on the right appliance... if on there at all!

Positioned in the centre of the UK, the airport is just 6 miles from Wolverhampton and 20 miles from Birmingham.

The airport has three runways and is base to three fixed wing flying schools, one helicopter school and one microlight school.  The police helicopter is also based at the airfield.
