Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide

federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bedies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in
the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IE0 on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 1 3200 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 96, Cranes,Subcommittee 6, Mobile cranes.

I n trod u cti on

I SO 1 3 200 was devel oped by TC 96/SC 6 to provi de a truly internati onal

Stan dard for safety si gns and hazard pi ctori al s u sed on m obi l e cran es.

Safety si gns are u sed internati onall y to al ert the equ i pm en t Operator to

hazards th at m ay be en cou n tered in th e u se and m ai nten ance of th e

com pon en ts, where th e hazards cann ot be desi g n ed ou t or g u arded.

Th ese h azards are often m ach i n e-dependen t an d are best by a speci fi c

safety sign rath er than a g en eral or gen eri c approach .

The provi si ons of I SO 13 200 cover safety si gns th at sati sfy l egal

D. 8. 3 Arrows represen ti n g d i recti on of m oti on of m ach i n e com pon en ts

This arrow is generally used as a black arrow on a white background. lt tan be straight, angled or curved.
See figure D.1 8 for arrow dimensions. This arrow is normally used at 1 00% of actual size shown in
figure D-1 8, although it may be sized differently as appropriate to individual pictorials. This arrow conforms
to the direction of movement arrow from ISO 41 96, with a 60° included angle for the arrowhead.
Figure D.1 9 gives an example of a hazard pictorial that uses this arrow to represent the direction of motion
of machine components. Because relative line thickness is the only significant differente between the
arrows in figure D.1 8 and figure D.20, situations may arise when the two arrows appear almost identical.
When possible, however, use the arrow in figure 0.1 8 to represent the direction of motion of machine
components and the arrow in figure D.20 to represent the direction of motion of entire machines.

This arrow is generally used as a white arrow in a black Silhouette representing the Source of the forte or
pressure. lt may also appear as a black arrow on a white background when the specific Source of the forte
or pressure is depicted. See figure 0.22 for arrow dimensions. This arrow is normally used at 1 00% of
actual size shown in figure D.22, although it may be sized differently as appropriate to individual pictorials.
This arrow conforms to the forte arrow from ISO 41 96, with an 84” included angle for the arrowhead.

D. 8.6 Arrows representi n g i dea of keepi n g safe d i stance away from h azard

This arrow is generally used on hazard avoidance pictorials as a black arrow on a white background (for
safety signs with text) or as a black arrow on a yellow background (for safety signs without text). See
figure D.24 for arrow dimensions. This arrow is normally used at 60% of actual size shown in figure 0.24,
although it may be sized differently as appropriate to individual pictorials. This arrow conforms to the
direction of movement arrow in ISO 41 96 for public information Symbols that direct persons, except that two
arrows are combined tail-to-tail. Figure D.25 gives examples of pictorials that use this arrow to represent
the idea of keeping a safe distance away from a hazard.
