Good grief,
Human ergonomics 101. In all parts of the world the 'standard' will vary, therefore you manufacture your control arrangement consistently to your design. So switches 'down' is 'on' in my part of the world.
Same with lights; is a watertight door open at 'green' / 'down' or 'red' / 'up' for dangerous?
You cannot impose a standard that doesnt exist on the entire world. You do need to use a consistent and logical approach for your system.
And where the platforms differ = identifiable competencies and delivered training needs.
