The ISO 20560 norm aims to increase workplace safety and to reduce risks and training costs for international personnel on country-specific pipe marking standards. The new, international pipe marking norm uses globally accepted GHS/CLP icons on a highly visible yellow area to visually signal danger to employees, international contractors and first responders. The new standard also specifies pipe marker size based on pipe diameter to support visibility from a distance.
Compliant pipe markers are already offered by Brady Corporation. They can be applied to pipes using a self-adhesive layer, an adhesive strip, a magnetic layer or mountable options. Brady claims that they will stay attached and remain legible in tough conditions, resisting high and low temperatures, and exposure to a wide range of chemicals and fuels. A range of sizes are available to fit various pipe diameters.
