ISO 7010
The ISO symbol for "Exit".
ISO 7010 is an International Organization for Standardization technical standard for graphical symbols on hazard and warning signs, including those indicating emergency exits and safety signs. It uses colours and principles set out in ISO 3864 for these symbols, and is intended to provide "safety information that relies as little as possible on the use of words to achieve understanding."[1] It is distinct from the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals specified by the United Nations to standardise hazardous material classification and labelling.
As of July 2018, the latest version is ISO 7010:2011. This is under review to be replaced with new standard ISO/DIS 7010, which also incorporates water safety signs and beach safety flags previously specified in ISO 20712.[2]
Shape and colour of sign types
ISO 7010 specifies five combinations of shape and colour to distinguish between the type of information presented.[3]
| Sign type[4] | Meaning | Colour (per ISO 7010)[4] | Shape[4] | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prohibition sign | Prohibition | Red | Circle with diagonal line |  |
| Mandatory sign | Must do | Blue | Circle |  |
| Warning sign | Warn of hazard | Yellow | Equilateral triangle with rounded corners |  |
| Safe Condition sign | Safety equipment & exits | Green | Square or rectangular |  |
| Fire Safety sign | Fire Protection | Red | Square |  |
