17、ISO 7001:2007(E) iv ISO 2007 All rights reservedForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each m
18、ember body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
19、Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards a
20、dopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of p
21、atent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 7001 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 145, Graphical symbols, Subcommittee SC 1, Public information symbols. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 7001:1990), which
22、has been technically revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 7001:1990/Amd.1:1993. SANS 7001:2008This standard may only be used and printed by approved subscription and freemailing clients of the SABS.ISO 7001:2007(E) ISO 2007 All rights reserved v Introduction The reason for the publication
23、 of this International Standard is the increasing use of non-verbal presentation of information in buildings and other places, and for services used by the public. Graphical symbols should be used where text messages might be a barrier to understanding. Continued growth in international trade, trave
24、l and tourism requires a common method of communication and standardization of public information symbols will help both provider and users, including those with disabilities. Lack of standardization may lead to confusion. The use of standardized public information symbols does not replace the need
25、for careful consideration and application of wayfinding and signing schemes; it is recognized that pubic information symbols will often be used with text in signing systems. This may aid education and comprehension particularly for new symbols and those which have less common usage. ISO 7001 is inte
26、nded to be used by all Technical Committees within ISO charged with developing specific public information symbols for their industry, to ensure that there is only one symbol for each meaning. It is also intended that this International Standard be revised regularly to include public information sym
27、bols as they are standardized by ISO and which conform to the principles for development as developed by ISO/TC 145/SC 1. Specific acceptance criteria, procedures and application forms can be found on the ISO/TC 145/SC 1 website, http:/www.iso.org/tc145/sc1. The public information symbols in this In
28、ternational Standard have been validated by ISO/TC 145/SC 1 according to procedures of standardization current at the time of publication. Future standardization of public information symbols will be facilitated with suitable evaluation techniques such as the testing outlined in ISO 9186. Acceptance
29、 criteria for public information symbol qualification ought to be such that there is confidence that a suitable proportion of the intended audience will understand them. Further design criteria will be added as appropriate and will be approved by ISO/TC 145/SC 1. Public information symbols given in
30、this International Standard are considered to have achieved a satisfactory degree of comprehension as established by independent testing or as a result of their use and application at an international level. NOTE The public information symbols given in this International Standard can be reproduced a
31、s published. However, it is recognized that there may be particular national characteristics and cultural requirements which may require minor variations. This is acceptable providing the key elements and design intent of the standardized symbol is not compromised. SANS 7001:2008This standard may on

33、formation symbols 1 Scope This International Standard specifies graphical symbols for the purposes of public information. This International Standard is generally applicable to public information symbols in all locations and all sectors where the public has access. However, it is not applicable to s
34、afety signs or to those sectors subject to a regulation which may differ with regard to certain points of this International Standard (for example, traffic signs on the public highway). This International Standard specifies the symbol originals that may be scaled for reproduction and application pur
35、poses. The symbols may be used in conjunction with text to improve comprehension. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the
36、referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

37、rmation symbols Requirements 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 17724 and the following apply. 3.1 graphical symbol visually perceptible figure with a particular meaning used to transmit information independently of language 3.2 public i
38、nformation symbol graphical symbol intended to give information to the general public, the understanding of which is independent of specialist or occupational training 3.3 safety sign sign giving a general safety message, obtained by a combination of a colour and geometric shape and which, by the ad
39、dition of a graphical symbol, gives a particular safety message ISO 7010:2003, 3.7 SANS 7001:2008This standard may only be used and printed by approved subscription and freemailing clients of the SABS.ISO 7001:2007(E) 2 ISO 2007 All rights reserved3.4 negation indication of the absence or opposite o
40、f something actual or positive 3.5 meaning message that a public information symbol is intended to convey 3.6 function written description of the purpose of the information to be conveyed by a graphical symbol 3.7 image content written description of the elements of a graphical symbol or safety sign
41、 and their relative disposition 4 General 4.1 Size The public information symbols given in this International Standard are designed to be reproduced in a variety of sizes to suit different applications from, for example, small-scale orientation notices to large-scale wayfinding signs. 4.2 Text The g
42、raphical symbols have been designed with the intention that they can be used on their own to convey the information described in the meaning (except the direction arrow, which cannot be used on its own, see 4.3). However, they may be combined with the relevant text on a sign or notice, etc., if cons
43、idered appropriate. This might be an advantage with less well established symbols to aid understanding. 4.3 Arrows The direction arrow (symbol number PI PF 030) shall only be used in conjunction with another symbol (or a symbol and text) to indicate movement of a person towards something. An example
44、 is shown in Figure 1.

45、n arrow shall be used to indicate direction of a person as shown in Figure 2.

46、 to the right Progress up to the left Progress forward and across to the left Progress down to the left Progress down from here Figure 2 Use of direction arrows The use of all other arrows is given with the relevant graphical symbol and meaning.

However, the combination of safety colours and shapes specified
48、in ISO 3864-1 shall be avoided to ensure there is no confusion between public information symbols and safety signs. This also applies to arrows where the use of green and white shall be avoided to ensure that there is no confusion with the direction arrow, safe condition, used for evacuation routes.
49、 Adequate contrast between the symbol and its background is essential and the symbol should be given a sufficiently large surrounding area to ensure identifiability. All illustrations of graphical symbols in this International Standard have corner marks to give an indication of the minimum area required. 4.5 Negation Public information symbols shall be negated only for comfort or convenience reasons. Where the whole activity is to be negated, the negation element shall be a diagonal bar running from top
