British Standards Institution

Source:: BSI
Committee:: GEL/9/1 - Railway Electrotechnical Applications - Signalling and communications
Categories:: Signs, Symbols and product Specifications | Graphical symbols. Specific equipment | Information management | Standardization. General rules | Electrical equipment. Special conditions | Railway engineering

Scope

The standard was last revised in 2012. Since then additional symbols for equipment and systems have been introduced which need to be included.

Failure to maintain a comprehensive list of symbols generates a risk of confusion impacting on railway safety, particularly where suppliers may be working for a number of different railway infrastructure operators.

Purpose

Existing sub-committee GEL/9/1 is already in place and will develop the amendment.
