Defines requirements for a tactile danger warning on packaging, inside which are contained certain dangerous substances and preparations. Does not define which substances and preparations are to be so treated.

This standard specifies the requirements for a tactile warning of danger on packagings which contain certain dangerous substances and preparations.

To prevent confusion in interpretation, the tactile warning of danger is affixed only on packages covered by the regulations in force on the dangerous substances and preparations.

This standard does not specify the dangerous substances and preparations to be contained in packagings with a tactile warning of danger. These are to be specified by legislative authorities.
