How did these symbols come about?
These symbols were created by ISO (International Organization for Standardization), founded on February 23, 1947, an agency that works to achieve a quality system that guarantees the satisfaction of consumer needs and expectations.

The symbols must have standard measures (they can vary from 10 cm to 20 cm), and be painted in black on light materials, in order to stand out and simplify reading. Although there are exceptions, if the merchandise is larger, the dimensions may also vary. We must be clear that it is in a universal language, used in various fields such as, for example, medicine or the food industry.
