TS ISO 3767-1

TS ISO 3767-1 defines the common symbols used on operator controls and other displays for tractors, machinery used in agriculture and forestry, and powered lawn and garden equipment. Its purpose is to establish a shared graphic language so that the same function is represented consistently across different machine families, making controls easier to understand and helping visual information remain uniform from one product type to another.

Why common symbols matter

The standard focuses on general symbols that can be applied across multiple equipment categories rather than on machine-specific graphics. Operator controls and displays provide direct guidance during starting, adjustment, operation, and monitoring. Using symbols instead of text can reduce language barriers, support compact panel design, and allow faster recognition in the field or workshop.

How this part relates to the series

The document notes that the other parts of ISO 3767 cover symbols for agricultural tractors and machinery, powered lawn and garden equipment, forestry machinery, and manual portable forestry machines. It also points to ISO 7000 and IEC 60417 as additional sources of internationally standardized symbols that may be relevant to these applications. In that sense, TS ISO 3767-1 provides the shared core of the symbol system, while the more equipment-specific symbols are addressed in the related parts of the series.

• Common symbols for operator controls and other displays
• Graphic signs intended for use across agricultural and forestry equipment categories
• A shared symbol language aligned with powered lawn and garden equipment
• A foundational part to be read together with the other series parts and broader symbol standards
