3、anadian Standards Association (CSA), under whose auspices this National Standard has been produced, was chartered in 1919 and accredited by the Standards Council of Canada to the National Standards system in 1973. It is a not-for-profit, nonstatutory, voluntary membership association engaged in stan

CSA standards reflect a national consensus of producers and users including manufacturers, consumers, retailers, unions and professional organizations, and governmental agencies.

5、by municipal, provincial, and federal governments in their regulations, particularly in the fields of health, safety, building and construction, and the environment. Individuals, companies, and associations across Canada indicate their support for CSAs standards development by volunteering their tim

The more than 7000 committee volunteers and the 2000 sustaining memberships together form CSAs total membership from which its Directors are chosen. Sustaining memberships represent a major

7、source of income for CSAs standards development activities. The Association offers certification and testing services in support of and as an extension to its standards development activities. To ensure the integrity of its certification process, the Association regularly and continually audits and

It normally is a standard which is capable of makin

14、g a significant and timely contribution to the national interest. Approval of a standard as a National Standard of Canada indicates that a standard conforms to the criteria and procedures established by the Standards Council of Canada. Approval does not refer to the technical content of the standard

15、; this remains the continuing responsibility of the accredited standards development organization. Those who have a need to apply standards are encouraged to use National Standards of Canada whenever practicable. These standards are subject to periodic review; therefore, users are cautioned to obtai

33、IEC 18036:2003(E) ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards throu

34、gh technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also

35、take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepa

36、re International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility th

38、SO/IEC 2003 All rights reserved vIntroduction Web browser toolbar icons enable users to invoke functions that act upon pre-selected or default objects. Functions initiated by these icons may also be available via text commands on menus. Web browser toolbar icons provide direct access to functions by

39、 graphically representing those text commands. The icon functions and graphics included in ISO/IEC 18036 have been selected on the basis of their common use across contemporary software platforms and applications. ISO/IEC 18036:2003(E) ISO/IEC 2003 All rights reserved 11 Scope ISO/IEC 18036 applies

40、to icons that are shown on a computer screen, that users can manipulate and interact with, and that represent data or computer system functions. ISO/IEC 18036 describes user interaction with and the appearance of World Wide Web toolbar icons on the screen. Other forms of icons are covered in ISO/IEC

41、 11581 (all parts). This International Standard defines a consistent set of icons and related functions that are presented by World Wide Web browser applications on a computer screen and that users interact with to control such applications. These toolbar icons typically represent actions by associa

42、tion with objects in the real world and conventional controls on hardware, and that prompt the user to recall the intended actions. This International Standard provides a consistent set of controls for such functions as: Back, Forward, Refresh, Home, Search, Print and Stop. 2 Conformance A World Wid

43、e Web browser conforms to ISO/IEC 18036 if the applicable browser toolbar icons available to the user in the application conform to subclause 5.1 of this International Standard and Clause 5 and subclause 6.1 ofISO/IEC 11581-1:2000. An application is not required to implement all of the actions in IS

44、O/IEC 18036 to be conformant. However, if it implements an action as specified in this International Standard, the relevant icon and its meaning should be conformant as specified here. An application may choose to implement additional icons and remain conformant, providing that they are for actions

45、not addressed in this International Standard and that those icons do not conflict with the icons specified in this International Standard. 3 Normative references Information technology Icon symbols and functions for World Wide Web browser toolbars The following referenced documents are indispensable
