TS EN 81714-3
Design of graphical symbols for use in the technical documentation of products - Part 3: Classification of connect nodes, networks and their encoding
This part of International Standard 81714 specifies primarily requirements concerning the
classification of connect nodes assigned to graphical symbols, being a representation of
functional and product concepts. Due to the strong interrelation between the product and its
corresponding graphical representation, identical classification principles are applied for both
the classification of connect nodes of products as well as for the classification of networks
and their representation by graphical symbols in computer-aided systems.

About This Item
TS EN 81714-3 is the part of the standard that focuses on how connect nodes, networks, and their encoding are classified for use in technical product documentation. The topic matters because a product’s functional structure and its graphical representation must stay aligned: the same connection logic underpins both the product model and the symbol used to describe it in documentation and computer-aided systems.
How connect nodes and networks are organised
This part is centred on the classification of connect nodes and on the relationship between product concepts and their graphical expression. In technical documentation, a connect node is the point where one element is linked to another in an electrical, logical, or functional sense. A network is the broader connection structure formed by such nodes. The classification approach helps ensure that these concepts are encoded consistently in drawings and digital documentation environments.
Why the graphical representation matters
A key principle highlighted by the standard is the strong interrelation between the product itself and its graphical representation. For that reason, the classification principles are not only about symbol appearance; they also support the functional meaning behind the symbol. In general technical practice, standards of this kind improve consistency across drawings, databases, and computer-aided technical documentation systems by giving designers and users a common way to describe connections and networks.
