1.3 Appearance of the safety instructions
All safety instructions include a signal word that classifies the danger and a
text block that contains descriptions of the type and cause of the danger, the
consequences of ignoring the safety instruction and the measures that can be
taken to minimise the danger. In some safety instructions, a
warning symbol
is placed underneath the signal word (see also CHAPTER 1.3.2):
1.3.1 Classification of safety instructions
There are five classes of safety instructions: “Danger”, “Warning”, “Caution”,
“Notice” and “Important”. The classification is shown in the following table.
The signal word “Note” is also used in this Hardware Description. Text pas-
sages marked in this way do not describe a danger, but rather contain remind-
ers, tips and general information to ensure optimum operation of the system.
