10、 9 Accessed by UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA on 20 May 2008 AS 131819852 PREFACE This edition of this standard was prepared by the Associations Committee on Industrial Warning Signs, under the direction of the Safety Standards Board, to supersede AS 13181972. The standard is intended to provide rule
11、s for the use of certain colours for the marking of physical hazards and for the identification of certain equipment in industry. Such colour coding should form an integral part of the total safety information system of any occupational environment. Attention is drawn to the fact that education and
12、training are an essential part of any system for giving safety information and that implementation of colour coding in accordance with this standard does not replace the need for proper accident prevention measures. The principal changes in this edition are as follows: (a)Reference to AS K185, Colou
13、rs for Specific Purposes, has been deleted and the colours have been specified in terms of chromaticity coordinates and photometric properties. In addition, colours listed in AS 2700 and BS 5252 and known to fall within the coordinates (colour boxes) are listed. (b) The colour for emergency exit sig
14、ns is now green (i.e. safe condition) in lieu of red. This change is in agreement with that introduced in AS 1319, Safety Signs for the Occupational Environment, AS 2293, Emergency Evacuation Lighting in Buildings and in ISO 3864, Safety Colours and Safety Signs.

Thecoloursshouldbepreparedwith materials having an appropriate colour stability under
37、expected conditions of use. Safety colours should be applied so as to be clearly visible in all circumstances, and generally on a limited scale, so as not to interfere with colour schemes in which colours are applied to relatively large surfaces. Safety colours, with or without white or black as con
38、trasts, can be directly applied on objects or on safety signs. COPYRIGHT Accessed by UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA on 20 May 2008 AS 131819854 SECTION 2.
