Good Morning learned friends,
I have recently seen a few fliers going about regarding some proposed changes to safety signs EU sticking its proverbial oar in again apparently.
Is anyone else aware of this the ISO7010/EN 7010 and if so is it a legislative change ? and also is anyone aware if the old signs will become illegal at some point in time and if so when ? I am surmising it will be that they are NOT retrospective so when your old sign was changed you would have to put up the new one, but does anyone know difinitively.
Thanks in advance
Alan

They are not expected to be retrospective but that's not the message that will be delivered by some of the major safety sign manufacturers who have a habit if implying that failure to change signs leads to massive financial penalties.

As has been said before this is not legislative change, just a change in the standards (it does not matter if it is an ISO, an EN or BS it is still just a standard) the legislation that is relevant is the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 along with its Guidance (L64).

Spud, if you are going to criticise those outside our shores please be accurate...
this is an ISO standard not an EN standard, so it's not so much the EU sticking its proverbial oar in as the whole world sticking its proverbial oar in... [or at least those bits of the world that can be bothered or afford to attend the stds committees].
Curse those foreign types, where's the Daily Mail when you need it? eh eh

Never mind the foreign types, what about BSI committee PH8/1, who took part in the revision of the standard?
