About This Item
TS EN ISO 81714-1 is the standard for the design of graphical symbols used in the technical documentation of products. It supports the creation of symbols for industrial products so that drawings, manuals, marking information, and related technical documents can communicate clearly and consistently. The standard addresses basic design rules for symbols rather than listing the meaning of individual product symbols.
How graphical symbols function in product documentation
Graphical symbols are used when information needs to be communicated quickly, compactly, and with minimal dependence on language. In technical documentation, they may express function, direction, connection, status, or operating concept. The general technical value of design rules is to keep symbol form coherent across product families and reduce the risk of ambiguity when documents are used in different contexts or languages.
What this part covers in practice
- Graphical symbols used in the technical documentation of industrial products
- Basic rules for symbol design and general application needs
- Use in product drawings, instructions, and related technical documents
- A focus on consistency, clarity, and interpretability rather than symbol cataloguing
As part of the ISO 81714 series, this part is concerned with the foundational design principles behind symbol creation. In combination with broader drawing and notation conventions, it helps support a more orderly and comparable visual language in technical communication.
