BS EN ISO 7010:2020 is the current recognised standard. The HSE may issue improvement notices or prohibition notices where required signage is missing.What is BS EN ISO 7010?BS EN ISO 7010 is the British and European Standard for safety signs that uses internationally recognised symbols and colour codes. It is the current UK standard, having superseded the older BS 5499 system. The 2020 edition is the most recent revision.What size sign do I need for my workplace?Sign size is driven by viewing distance. As a guide, the BS EN ISO 7010 recommendation is that the pictogram height should be at least one one-hundredth of the maximum viewing distance. For most office and factory floor applications, A4 (300×200mm) or A3 (400×300mm) is appropriate; larger sites benefit from A2 (600×400mm) signage.
