Compliance symbols and certification marks

The four Safety & compliance blocks (safety warnings, GHS pictograms, standard symbols and certification badges) and how to add your own marks.

The Safety & compliance group holds four blocks for the marks a regulated document needs. This article explains what each is for and how to add your own.

Safety warning

A signal-word banner in the standard hazard style. Pick the level (Danger, Warning, Caution, Notice or Safety), then add the hazard statement. For a softer aside that isn't a formal safety message, use a Callout instead.

GHS pictograms

The nine standard red-diamond GHS hazard pictograms (flame, corrosion, health hazard, and so on) used on chemical labels and safety data sheets. Pick the ones that apply and they lay out in a row.

Standard symbols

A library of standardized compliance and handling marks, drawn as crisp vector art in their mandated colors so they print identically everywhere. Open the block and toggle on the symbols you need; they're organized by category:

CategoryExamples
ComplianceCE, UKCA, WEEE crossed-out bin, Prop 65
Electrical (IEC 60417)Protective/functional earth, AC, DC, Class II, fuse, standby, DC connector polarity
Electronics (ESD / MSL)ESD-sensitive, ESD-protective, moisture-sensitive, RoHS, Pb-free, China RoHS
Safety (ISO 7010)Warning, mandatory (PPE) and prohibition symbols: flammable, toxic, biohazard, radiation, and more
Emergency & fireFirst aid, emergency exit, eye wash, fire extinguisher, fire alarm
Packaging (ISO 780)Fragile, this way up, keep dry, temperature limits, do not stack, use no hooks
Recycling / resin codesMobius loop and resin codes 1–7 (PET, HDPE, PVC, …)
Transport (ADR / DOT)Hazard-class placards for the transport section of an SDS

Turn Show labels beneath on or off, and add an optional note under the row.

Upload your own symbol

Need a mark that isn't in the library? In the Standard symbols block, use Upload your own symbol (PNG, JPEG, WebP or SVG) and give it a label. Each upload is resized automatically to the same footprint as the built-in symbols, so it lines up neatly with the rest of the row whatever size or shape you upload.

Certification badges

A row of certification marks shown as chips. Each badge can be an uploaded logo image or a short text chip when you don't set a logo.
