Graphical symbols for use on equipment - 3-month subscription to online database comprising all parts of IEC 60417

IEC 60417 contains graphical symbols for use on equipment. All parts of IEC 60417 have been incorporated into a database that currently includes some 800 graphical symbols and is the official source of IEC 60417. This database contains graphical symbols and their meaning (title and description) that are primarily intended to: identify the equipment or a part of the equipment (for example a control or display); indicate functional states (for example on, off, alarm); designate connections (for example terminals, filling points for materials); provide information on packaging (for example identification of content, instructions for handling); provide instruction of the operation of the equipment (for example limitations of use). The graphical symbols specified in this database are not primarily intended for: safety signs; public information; use for drawings; use in technical documentation of products. In the case of the use of graphical symbols as safety signs, the rules specified in ISO 3864 prevail. The database provides classified views (by shape, function and examples of application) as well as a search facility. The database is maintained by a validation team appointed by the IEC National Committees. Requests for modifications and new graphical symbols are processed via change requests addressed to the validation team by IEC National Committees and TCs.

CUSTOMERS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES MUST CONTACT EITHER YOUR IEC NATIONAL COMMITTEE OR THE IEC CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.
