[[File: British Red Cross First Aid Kits.jpg|thumb|Large and small [[first aid]] kits used by the [[British Red Cross]] for event first aid, in the internationally recognized ISO green with a white cross.

▲A '''first aid kit''' or '''medical kit''' is a collection of supplies and equipment used to give immediate medical treatment, primarily to treat injuries and other mild or moderate medical conditions. There is a wide variation in the contents of first aid kits based on the knowledge and experience of those putting it together, the differing first aid requirements of the area where it may be used, and variations in legislation or regulation in a given area.
The international standard for first aid kits is that they should be identified with the [[International Standards Organization|ISO]] graphical symbol for first aid (from [[ISO 7010]]), which is an equal white cross on a green background.<ref name=ISO>{{cite web|url=https://www.iso.org/obp/ui#iso:grs:7010:E003|title=ISO 7010 - E003|access-date=25 August 2018}}</ref>
