About This Item
TS ISO 17724 is a vocabulary standard for graphical symbols, with emphasis on symbols used for public information safety signs and for use on equipment. Rather than prescribing how symbols are drawn or defining a specific symbol set, it establishes the terms and definitions that support consistent communication in this field.
The document explicitly excludes terms related to graphical symbols for diagrams, including technical product documentation (TPD) symbols. That distinction matters because public safety and equipment symbols are generally intended for rapid recognition by a broad audience, whereas diagram symbols are used in engineering drawings and technical documentation to express relationships, functions, and components within a system.
How the vocabulary supports standardisation
In general technical practice, a vocabulary standard helps define core concepts such as symbol, sign, meaning, usage context, and classification in a consistent way. This is especially useful when drafting new standards or revising existing ones, because it reduces ambiguity and helps ensure that related documents use the same terminology with the same intent.
This TSE listing is presented as an equivalent document to ISO 17724:2026. Its value lies in providing a common conceptual basis for professionals working with graphical symbols standards, especially where clarity of terminology is essential to future standard development or revision.
