Betreff: RE: [dita-machine-industry] Hazard Statement Examples

Hi,

Indicating three different designs (with all borders, with borders around text, without borders), or only one of them?
Only one. I prefer the example without the borders, since this is the ABB way ;-) Then in text we can state that it is an example rendering and without borders are also possible according to ANSI

· Using the examples with text or without?
I prefer without surrounding text.

· From the “all” examples should we recommend all of them?

I prefer to give only one example. The connection to the different markup in hazard statement is more important to give. Then example rendering of the panelarrangement must also be given (see attached PPT) as you have shown on DITA Europe earlier?

· Should we recommend the all-signal-word.png and all-alert-symbol.png only, as they are placed explicitly as examples in Z535. The others are implicitly described.
I prefer to only give one (or two with the panel arrangement attribute). Then reference to ANSI and ISO standards. The implementer must anyhow consult the standards or modify the existing company standard.

· Or do you recommend another design?

I'm stuck in a train jam at the moment and I wont be able to make it to todays meeting. Sorry for that. I've asked Astoria for their DITA conditionalizing process support but no answers yet.

Br,

Jonatan

Subject: [dita-machine-industry] Hazard Statement Examples

Colleagues,

enclosed I am sending the hazard statement examples for the langref document to you.

May I ask you for your feedback.

In danger.png, warning.png, caution.png and notice.png you will find three rendering examples we could recommend. Each of them is in line with the ANSI recommendations and are derived from the look of the warning lables.

As safety symbols an icon indicating the type of hazard is used.

In all*.png you will see examples with general safety symbols. Some companies do not use hazard type symbols but general symbols in their documents.

In the ANSI Z535.6-2006 the examples all-signal-word.png and all-alert-symbol.png are listed.

In the *-with-text.png examples I have added some surrounding text in the example, to see how it may look in a document.

What do you think?

· Indicating three different designs (with all borders, with borders around text, without borders), or only one of them?

· Using the examples with text or without?

· From the “all” examples should we recommend all of them?

· Should we recommend the all-signal-word.png and all-alert-symbol.png only, as they are placed explicitly as examples in Z535. The others are implicitly described.

· Or do you recommend another design?

Looking forward for your feedback, please send me your feedbacks until Friday, 28^th of August.

Best regards

Chris
