What Is ISO 7010 and Why Does It Matter?

ISO 7010 is the internationally recognized standard for safety symbols and safety signage. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in Geneva, Switzerland, this standard outlines consistent, easy-to-understand colors, shapes and symbols for use in safety-related messaging. The standard’s primary purpose is to deliver universal comprehension, reducing language barriers and supporting immediate visual recognition of hazards, instructions, and emergency information.

The ISO symbol, shape, color and sign system categorizes safety symbols into five main types, each with its own purpose, shape and distinct color scheme:

1. Prohibition Signs – White backgrounds with red “No” symbols. Examples include No Smoking, No Open Flame, No Forklifts.
2. Mandatory Action Signs – Blue backgrounds indicating required safety actions such as Eye Protection, Hearing Protection, or Respirator Use.
3. Warning Signs – Yellow or orange backgrounds with black-bordered triangles. Examples include Flammable Material, Laser Beam, and Biological Hazard.
4. Safe Condition Signs – Green backgrounds that point to emergency equipment or exits like Emergency Shower, Defibrillator, or First Aid. Other symbols are available.
5. Fire Equipment Signs – Red backgrounds marking locations of (for example) Fire Extinguishers, Hose Reels, Pull Stations, or Emergency Phones.

There are currently over 300 recognized ISO 7010 symbols. Many of them can be enhanced with “signal words” such as WARNING: ELECTRICITY or EYEWASH STATION for added clarity - without relying on long-winded text. Mighty Line signs support both symbol-only and, with customization, symbol-plus-text formats.

Mighty Line’s Commitment to ISO 7010Why is Mighty Line investing in ISO signage? Because staying aligned with national and international safety protocols isn’t just smart - it’s essential. As industries evolve, so too do regulatory demands. From OSHA and ANSI Standards in the U.S. to globally harmonized systems, the pressure is on companies to meet compliance while streamlining visual communications on the facility floor.

Mighty Line’s ISO 7010 floor signs are engineered for industrial and commercial spaces. Each sign is:

• Adhesive-backed for quick installation on clean, dry surfaces - whether smooth concrete, epoxy coatings, or polyaspartic floors.
• Color-consistent with ISO 7010 standards, offering immediate visual recognition.
• Designed for durability, featuring high-quality materials of construction, to allow them equivalent durability to Mighty Line’s famous floor tape known as “The Most Durable Stripe.”

These ISO safety signs and symbols are ideal for marking:

• Emergency routes and exits
• Visitor pathways
• Fire protection equipment zones
• Electrical panels
• Safety equipment locations
• Door swing areas and machine zones, and
• Signs/symbols per many of the other ISO 7010 illustrations

And because visual management supports everything from 5S initiatives to lean manufacturing, these ISO-compliant additions are more than just regulatory tools - they’re operational game-changers!
