In the era of inf ormation commu ication tec nolog (ICT), new gra hical s mb ls f or u e on

GRA PHICAL SYMBOLS FOR USE ON EQUIPMENT –

This Tec nical Re ort provides the res lt of a stu y of some of the gra hical symb ls for u e

on e uipme t stan ardized in IEC 6 417 b in primari y inten ed to:

– identify the e uipme t or a p rt of the e uipme t (e.g a control or display);

– in icate a fu ctional state (e.g on, off , alarm);

– desig ate con ection (e.g terminals, fi in p ints f or materials);

– provide inf ormation on p c agin (e.g identification of contents, in tru tion for han l n );

– provide in tru tion f or the o eration of the e uipme t (e.g lmitation of u e);

in the foc s of contemp rary u e of gra hic l symb ls for u e on multimedia e uipme t, an

One of the imp rtant exp ctation an f un tion of the gra hic l symb ls in IEC 6 417 is to

serve as a p ol of stan ardized gra hic l symb ls for u e on e uipme t to b u ed, in

ac ordan e with the provision given in IEC 8 416-3:2 0 an IEC 8 416-3:2 0 /AMD1:2 1 ,

To ac ommodate an dif fic lties to f ol ow the rules, a set of proced res whic con itute a

In ad ition, as a res lt of q ic ly c an in deman in in u tries s c as digital cameras,

multimedia, ICT an mo i e eq ipment, there are new gra hic l symb ls not yet stan ardized

in IEC 6 417

This Tec nical Re ort clas if ies some of these gra hic l symb ls in lu in ic ns an glyph

a) Gra hic l symb ls f or control

b) Gra hic l symb ls f or in ication

4.2 Cur e t pra tic f or control

Gra hic l symb ls to identify controls of eq ipment in general are imp rtant an many

gra hic l symb ls have b en stan ardized in IEC 6 417 for the purp se of diff erent

categories of eq ipment
