SCOPE
Colour coding is an internationally accepted means of ensuring recognition and identification of critical equipment, pipeline and storage vessel contents and a variety of hazardous conditions. It is recognized that colour coding alone will not eliminate a hazard and that it is only used as a supplement to other accident prevention methods. The objective of this standard is to provide a guideline for uniform colour code system, thereby reducing the potential for personal injury, misuse of equipment and equipment damage.
