With so many accidents occurring at home and on the job due to lack of or misuse of warning labels, CED Technologies offers warning label design services to clientele. Our highly trained experts assist clients in examining the product as well as creating a warning label that will best suit the product. All warning labels created by CED engineers will follow the standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Some of these standards include the ANSI Z35.1 standard, titled “Specification for Accident Prevention Signs,” which captures some of the requirements needed for proper warning labels. The ANSI Z535 series is a set of separate standards describing various warnings, such as:

• Safety color code
• Environmental and facility safety signs
• Criteria for safety symbols
• Product safety signs and labels
• Accident prevention tags (for temporary hazards)

Features of Warning Labels and Signs:

• Warning labels will have a distinctive background, different from the surrounding area upon which it will be affixed.
• A message area that identifies the hazard and indicates how it is avoided or the consequence of not staying away from the hazard.
• Messages could be in more than one language.
• The warning label or sign must have a signal word displayed prominently; such words include “DANGER,” “WARNING,” or “CAUTION.”
• The proper warning label should have a symbol/pictorial showing the specific danger.
