TS EN 15429-4
Sweepers - Part 4: Symbols for operator controls and other displays
This European Standard applies to surface cleaning machines for outdoor applications in public areas, roads, airports and industrial complexes. Cleaning machines for winter maintenance and/or indoor applications are not included within the scope of this European Standard. Surface cleaning machines in terms of this standard, are self-propelled, truck mounted, attached sweeping equipment or pedestrian controlled as disclosed in EN 15429-1. Surface cleaning machines by way of their function, have specialized equipment necessary to perform their task. This European Standard deals with graphical symbols uniquely used to indicate the function and status of operator controls and tell-tale displays of the specialized equipment. Common symbols that are included in other standards and applied to a wider range of machines are not included. Typically, symbols in this category that may equally be applied to surface cleaning machines can be found in ISO 2575 Road vehicles – Symbols for controls, indicators and tell-tales, and ISO 6405 Earth moving machinery – Symbols for operator and other displays – Part 1: Common Symbols. This European Standard does not apply to machines or components that are specifically designed for cleaning tramlines and rail tracks. Industrial sweepers, within the scope of EN 60335-2-72 are excluded from this European Standard. This European Standard applies to machines manufactured after the approval date of the standard by CEN.

About This Item
TS EN 15429-4 is the standard for graphical symbols used on operator controls and other displays in sweepers and related surface cleaning machines. In practice, these symbols help identify which function has been selected and what status is being indicated, which is especially important on machines with multiple operator inputs and display points.
Purpose of the symbol language
The document focuses on symbols used for controls and tell-tale displays associated with the specialized equipment of surface cleaning machines. Common symbols are not part of its scope, because those are covered in broader standards for vehicles or machinery. The technical value of this separation is consistency: symbols intended for sweeper-specific functions can be standardized without blurring them with general-purpose machine or road-vehicle symbols. In general technical terms, that supports quicker recognition, clearer operator interaction, and more uniform marking across similar machines.
Where the standard applies, and where it does not
- It applies to surface cleaning machines for outdoor use in public areas, roads, airports, and industrial complexes.
- Winter maintenance machines and indoor cleaning applications are excluded.
- The machine family includes self-propelled units, truck-mounted equipment, attached sweeping equipment, and pedestrian-controlled machines.
- Machines or components specifically designed for cleaning tramlines and rail tracks are outside the scope.
- Industrial sweepers within the scope of EN 60335-2-72 are excluded from this standard.
As a general technical reference, this kind of symbol standard supports consistent panel marking, documentation, and machine-to-machine readability. Its contribution is not to define the cleaning function itself, but to clarify how sweeper-specific controls and indications are represented visually.
