23、FOR USE ON EQUIPMENT Part 1: Creation of graphical symbols for registration FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote i
24、nternational co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (here
25、after referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also par
26、ticipate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible,
27、an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While al
28、l reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to ap
29、ply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate
30、its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including indi
31、vidual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon,
32、 this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of
33、 this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 80416-1 has been prepared by IEC subcommittee 3C: Graphical symbols for use on equipment, of IEC technical committee 3: Information s
34、tructures, documentation and graphical symbols. This International Standard has been prepared in co-operation with ISO/TC145/SC 3. It is published as a double logo standard. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2001. This edition constitutes a technical revision. T
35、his edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) Clause 8 in the previous edition is moved to Clause 4; 4 80416-1 IEC:2008 b) Mandatory requirement for the line width in symbol originals is changed to 2 mm or 4 mm (see 6 thparagraph of 7.3); c
36、) For negation of a graphical symbol, a single diagonal bar is allowed in addition to two diagonal bars at right angles; d) A new meaning of negation “do not” is allowed; e) Some freedom is given for use of the basic pattern such as for symbol originals to be within the 75 mm square instead of the o
37、ctagon; f) Annex A (normative) is newly introduced for provisions on title, description and notes; g) The nature of notes is changed to be purely informative; and h) Clause 10 in the previous edition is moved to Annex C (informative). It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC
38、 Guide 108. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 3C/1590/FDIS 3C/1609/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. In ISO, the standard has been approved by 7 P
39、members out of 7 having cast a vote. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. In order to collect all requirements concerning relevant basic principles within one single numerical series, ISO technical committee 145: Graphical symbols and IEC technical com
40、mittee 3 agreed to publish all parts of this International Standard within the 80416 series. The Technical Management Board of ISO and the Standardization Management Board of IEC have decided that, for each part of this series, one organisation shall be chosen responsible. The technical committees i
41、nvolved have agreed not to change any part of International Standard 80416 without mutual agreement. International Standard 80416 consists of the following parts, published under the general title Basic principles for graphical symbols for use on equipment: Part 1: 2008, Creation of graphical symbol
42、s for registration (published by IEC) Part 2: 2001, Form and use of arrows (published by ISO) Part 3: 2002, Guidelines for the application of graphical symbols (published by IEC) Part 4: 2005, Guidelines for the adaptation of graphical symbols for use on screen and displays (icons) (published by ISO
43、) The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replace
44、d by a revised edition, or amended. 80416-1 IEC:2008 5 INTRODUCTION A graphical symbol is defined as a visually perceptible figure with a particular meaning used to transmit information independently of language. Graphical symbols are used on equipment for a wide range of purposes. The understanding
45、 of such symbols can be improved by consistent design. This is particularly important where families of symbols are used in one location or on similar equipment. Good design also helps to maintain the legibility of symbols when they are reduced to small dimensions for application. Thus, there is a n
46、eed to standardize the principles for creating graphical symbols for use on equipment to ensure visual clarity, to maintain consistency and thereby to improve recognition. International Standard 80416 is a multi-part standard which provides basic principles and guidelines for the creation of graphic
47、al symbols for use on equipment (Parts 1 and 2) and also principles and guidelines for adapting registered graphical symbols for use in practice (Parts 3 and 4). This part of the multi-part standard addresses the basic rules used to create graphical symbols for use on equipment, including line width
48、s, negation elements, and the use of the basic pattern. These design principles should be applied to all graphical symbols for use on equipment. They are required for graphical symbols for registration in IEC 60417 and ISO 7000. It is recommended that symbol originals intended for specific fields of
49、 application are also published in the appropriate technical product standard. 6 80416-1 IEC:2008 BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS FOR USE ON EQUIPMENT Part 1: Creation of graphical symbols for registration 1 Scope This part of IEC 80416 provides basic principles and guidelines for the creation of graphical symbols for registration, and provides the key principles and rules for the preparation of title, description an
