The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) has adopted the latest version of an ISO standard for safety signs, replacing the U.S. national standard of the same scope and purpose.

The new national standard, ASABE/ISO 11684:2023, Tractors, machinery for agriculture and forestry, powered lawn and garden equipment — Safety labels — General principles, establishes general principles for the design of safety labels and hazard pictorials of tractors, machinery for agriculture and forestry, and powered lawn and garden equipment. It also outlines safety label objectives, describes the basic safety label formats and colors, provides guidance on developing the various panels that together constitute a safety label, and includes safety label information with regard to operator’s manuals.

For info on this or any other ASABE standard, contact Scott Cedarquist at Cedarq@asabe.org. A current listing of all ASABE standards projects can be found on the ASABE web site at .
