Conformance to BS EN ISO 7010

It says that the new changes required to conform to BS EN ISO 7010 have been adopted to ensure improved intuitive comprehension of the safety message.

The legislation requires that a formal risk assessment be carried out and this will determine the need for safety signs to locate and identify lifesaving equipment, escape routes and first aid equipment.

An audit and review should determine the residual risk associated with using a safety sign of poor non-conforming design. It is recommended that a plan is drawn up for their replacement that prioritises the replacement of signs that are poorly designed and whose comprehension credentials have not been proven under BS ISO 9186.
