Its used by my company. I am just not sure for what (I am new at the company). It might be something that has been used for many many years and forgotten.
Perhaps someone at your company may know? It would seem that if it was used by your company, it's meaning would be known throughout the organization, or at least by those that it would affect.

I uploaded this image to Google Images and the only result I got with this image was this page!
If this is a symbol that is not in a standard (which I believe is likely) then the meaning should be explained in the labelling supporting the device it is for.
Also, I typically expect the need to label something with a symbol with a prohibition symbol to come out of the risk analysis - maybe there is something in there for your product that indicates what the symbol is.

First, let me ask - where is it placed?

The symbol could mean either;

1. No Erlenmeyer Flask Allowed
2. No Chemicals Allowed
3. No Laboratory Tools Allowed

But as noted, the sign should use red to signify prohibition of the item, action or something else related to the sign. To further help you out, you can check this page from ISO themselves:

Or you can further read here:

If it is on the box for an EO gas sterilization indicator....I would venture to guess that it means "Do not enclose the indicator in a sealed vessel, or it won't work since the gas will not be able to reach the indicator - duh"....just a wild guess...
