Symbol signs ­– signs without words – are often used to communicate safety or public information messages. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) provides standards ISO 3864-1 and ISO 3864-3 giving design principles for both graphical symbols and completed signs in the safety arena. The present study shows that for difficult signage circumstances a two-part sign, showing the desired and undesired circumstances with a tick and a cross, can be much more effective than the normal single-part sign provided for by these ISO standards. The present study also suggests that ISO’s sign assessment methods could be efficiently combined and simplified.

Challenges And Opportunities

This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities of developing standards for biomimetic materials, based on the authors experience with International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/Technical Committee 266 Biomimetics. With the expansion of global trade, international standards are increasingly called on to protect the interests of consumers, improve business productivity and facilitate trade. In the past, standards typically addressed form/fit/function specifications and were associated with mature industries. Recently some ISO standards are focusing on processes, quality and consistency, which can support advances in emerging fields. ISO has the potential to advance biomimetic materials and biomimetics in general by developing and promoting frameworks that reflect the evolving nature of biomimetics.

A implantação das normas aplicadas pela ISO (International Organization for Standardization) pode ser benéfica ou não para as organizações, dependendo da forma como são aplicadas. Este artigo fruto de pesquisa analisou se a Associação Comercial e Industrial de Anápolis (ACIA) aplicou bem o Sistema de Gestão da Qualidade (SGQ) e assim teve como objetivo geral identificar possíveis prós e contras da implantação da ISO no trabalho cotidiano dos seus colaboradores internos, e por, objetivos específicos: relatar como os colaboradores da ACIA entendem e utilizam a ISO; caracterizar as melhorias no trabalho interno dos colaboradores pós implantação do SGQ e avaliar as melhorias que o SGQ provocou na instituição. Para atingir tais metas, realizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva, explicativa e bibliográfica, sendo necessário entrevistar os colaboradores por meio de aplicação de questionários para 22 sujeitos da pesquisa, que revelaram conforme os resultados apresentados a seguir, que estes não veem a participação necessária da gestão nos quesitos relacionados à NBR ISO:9001 que está implantada na empresa e precisa de manutenção constante, porém, acreditam que quando bem controlado, o sistema pode gerar economicidade, organização e padronização, sendo benéfico para o trabalho rotineiro.

Standardised packaging of tobacco products is intended to reduce the appeal of smoking, but the tobacco industry claims this increases illicit trade. We examined the percentage of people reporting being offered illicit cigarettes before and after full implementation of standardised packaging in the UK, Ireland and France and compared this to other European Union countries. Reported ever illicit cigarette exposure fell from 19.8% to 18.1% between 2015 and 2018 in the three countries fully implementing the policy, and from 19.6% to 17.0% in control countries (p for difference=0.320). Standardised packaging does not appear to increase the availability of illicit cigarettes.

Abstract: This article aims to analyze the relationship between the Brazilian government’s adoption of a regulatory measure with a strong impact on the population and the opposition by invested interest groups. The methodology involves the analysis of official documents on the enforcement of health warnings on tobacco products sold in Brazil. In parallel, a search was conducted for publicly available tobacco industry documents resulting from lawsuits, with the aim of identifying the industry’s reactions to this process. The findings suggest that various government acts were affected by direct interference from the tobacco industry. In some cases the interventions were explicit and in others they were indirect or difficult to identify. In light of the study’s theoretical framework, the article provides original information on the Brazilian process that can be useful for government policymakers in the strategic identification of tobacco control policies.
