ANSI Z535 and ISO 3864-2 in Product Safety Labeling

This session explores how ANSI Z535.4 and ISO 3864-2 are applied in real-world product safety labeling, with particular attention to symbol-only and wordless label formats. These formats often raise questions for manufacturers, especially regarding when they are appropriate and how they fit within a broader risk reduction strategy.

Topics covered include:

How symbol-only and wordless labels are addressed within ANSI and ISO standards
Common misunderstandings around symbol use and effectiveness
How safety labels function within the hierarchy of controls
The role of warnings alongside engineering controls and safeguarding
Considerations for global audiences and standardized symbols

The webinar will also discuss the upcoming 2027 ANSI Z535 revision cycle, including why periodic standards review matters and how manufacturers can prepare for potential updates that may affect product safety labeling practices.
