Scope

This document provides guidelines to ensure that graphical symbols for use on equipment in IEC product publications are consistent with the requirements of horizontal publication IEC 60417, and ISO 7000. This document is intended to be used by any committees to develop graphical symbols for use on equipment for inclusion in their product publications.

This document is based on and develops IEC Guide 108:2019, Clause 8.

For the creation of new graphical symbols for use on equipment, IEC 80416-1 and ISO 80416-2 are used. For the application of standardized graphical symbols for use on equipment, IEC 80416-3 and ISO 80416-4 are used.

This horizontal publication is primarily intended for use by committees in the preparation of publications in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108.

One of the responsibilities of a committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of horizontal publications in the preparation of its publications. The contents of this horizontal publication will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.
