Hi there,

Please can anyone confirm the exact meaning of the packing symbol showing the umbrella with raindrops falling on it.

I assume it means 'keep dry'. However, we have received 2 packing crates from abroad - one has just the symbol, but the crate itself appears to have been weather-proofed; The other has both the symbol and the words 'Keep Dry' underneath it. I assume that they both mean the same, as with H&S Signs with and without wording, but prefer to make sure.
Also,
please can anyone point me in the direction of the standard that specifies this?

Mitch,

Thanks for that, but I had already found this site. It isn't so much that I don't know what it looks like, but I want to confirm the meaning of the symbol and if it has a different meaning depending upon any worded legend appearing with the sign.

The end client is also asking this question so I need to try and clarify the exact meaning, hence trying to identify if there is a BS / ISO standard for these symbols and there meaning.

Regards.

Paul
