On September 19, 2024, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved and published ANSI Z535.7-2024, a new standard providing guidance for communicating product safety information in dynamic or electronic media. This standard fills a gap in the existing ANSI Z535 series, which previously focused on static media like signs, labels, and printed manuals.
ANSI Z535.7 addresses the unique challenges of electronic media, including video, on-product electronic displays, websites, apps, and augmented reality. It details principles and guidelines for the design and maintenance of safety information, covering aspects such as appropriateness of media, font size, display duration, and access maintenance.
This new standard supports manufacturers and stakeholders in effectively communicating safety information to consumers and users, and is also helpful for designing training materials. Exponent's human factors and product safety practices are well-positioned to assist clients in adapting their safety communication strategies to comply with these evolving guidelines.
