International standards for caveats

I work in a totally software production environment in a
telecommunications equipment manufacturer. 

Can someone please remind me of the international standards governing
the use of caveats in user documentation? I need both the standards and
the content. The standards can include engineering standards. For
example, when can we use Note, Information, Warning, or Caution? The
type of warning and the icon that accompanies it are what I need.

I believe I wandered off the beaten path and need help to get on track.
