1.0 Introduction

This document is volume 8 of the Global Labeling Guides. It gives an overview of special labels and markings that are applied for various purposes to packages of products. The term ‘overview’ is used, because the details mostly exist in other IBM specifications or on web sites. Those other documents can be found as per the table below. Users of this document are advised to obtain and understand those details before using any of the symbols referenced in this document.

Before reading this volume 8 it is advised to first read volume 1 of the Global Labeling Guides. It contains background information that pertains to all of the volumes of the Global Labeling Guides series.

4.0 International Standard Handling Symbols

This section shows symbols from International Standard ISO-780 or ASTM D5445.

Whenever handling symbols are required, use only those symbols provided in ISO-780 or ASTM D5445. Any new symbols should follow the design guidelines of those standards. If what you're trying to convey is not covered by either of those standards, then consult section 5.0 for symbols which have been custom created by IBM.

To comply with Chinese law, international symbols must be used. Reference ISO 780.

Except as noted, the items listed below may be applied to the package as a label or as printed icons directly on the package. The method of application is left largely to each shipper to determine the best method unless otherwise specified below. The preference is for the markings to be of maximum contrast such as black on kraft background (and not IBM Blue on kraft background for instance).

Fragile indicator.

This symbol is usually printed directly on the carton. It is routinely applied to all IBM finished goods packaging. It is not applied to FRUs, parts, etc.

Stacking - Safe Stack Height.

The number, n, identifies the maximum number of boxes that should be stacked vertically. It is usually printed on the carton.

This symbol is required for packages to indicate safe stack height with regard to tipping over or calculated limits of package compression strength.

The numeral located in the middle square indicates the number of boxes, not the number of pallets in the stack and includes the bottom carton in the stack.

Center of Gravity Indicator.

These should be used on packages which are top heavy. Four are used - one on each vertical side to indicate the location of the center of gravity of the package.

This symbol is required for large crates regardless of height as well as top heavy items such as those for which tilt indicators are applied. If the precise location of the center of gravity for a given item depending on configuration varies, it is permissible to put it as close as possible so that it still conveys the important “off center” or “top heavy” message.

This symbol is required by Chinese Law and Standard Practice for Export shipments. They are especially important on all crated items and otherwise any heavy, unwieldy or top heavy items.

This is an ISO-780 and ASTM D5445 symbol.
