The Latest on ANSI/ISO Best Practices, Compliance Issues, and Trends
Every day, engineers and manufacturers who have responsibility over product safety and compliance face challenges related to ever-changing global codes, standards, and regulations.

The U.S. ANSI Z535 family of consensus standards is commonly used by manufacturers and workplaces – along with its global counterpart, ISO 3864-2 – as a main guideline for following best practices and creating consistency in their safety warnings and instructions.

This webinar will focus on the significance of ANSI Z535.4 and ISO 3864-2, and how to be in compliance with the recent updates to these standards and today’s latest best practices. It will also address current product safety labeling challenges and opportunities related to today’s manufacturing environment, including trends in digitalization, automation, and an increasingly global marketplace.

Of special significance is that both the ANSI Z535 and ISO 3864-2 standards were republished in 2022. This marked the first time that many of the standards in the ANSI Z535 family have been reviewed and updated in more than 10 years. Three of the six ANSI standards (Z535.1, Z535.3, and Z535.5) were republished in August 2022, and the remaining three (Z535.2, Z535.4, and Z535.6) are expected to be published shortly. While ISO 3864-2 was republished in 2022 without any changes, the previous republication in 2016 contained significant updates related to format options and symbol use.

Here's What You’ll Learn:

• The basics of product liability and the legal duty to warn
• Overview of the ANSI and ISO standards concerning warning labels
• Most recent changes to ANSI Z535.4 and ISO 3864-2 standards
• Common labeling mistakes made by manufacturers
