2、rd of CanadaCAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 11581-5:05(ISO/IEC 11581-5:2004)International Standard ISO/IEC 11581-5:2004 (first edition, 2004-05-15) has been adopted withoutmodification (IDT) as CSA Standard CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 11581-5:05, which has been approved as a NationalStandard of Canada by the Standards Council
3、of Canada.ISBN 1-55397-943-5 October 2005The Canadian 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, vo
4、luntary membership association engaged in standards development and certification activities. CSA standards reflect a national consensus of producers and users including manufacturers, consumers, retailers, unions and professional organizations, and governmental agencies. The standards are used wide
5、ly by industry and commerce and often adopted 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 s
6、tandards development by volunteering their time and skills to CSA Committee work and supporting the Associations objectives through sustaining memberships. The more than 7000 committee volunteers and the 2000 sustaining memberships together form CSAs total membership from which its Directors are cho
7、sen. Sustaining memberships represent a major 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 Ass
8、ociation regularly and continually audits and inspects products that bear the CSA Mark. In addition to its head office and laboratory complex in Toronto, CSA has regional branch offices in major centres across Canada and inspection and testing agencies in eight countries. Since 1919, the Association
9、 has developed the necessary expertise to meet its corporate mission: CSA is an independent service organization whose mission is to provide an open and effective forum for activities facilitating the exchange of goods and services through the use of standards, certification and related services to
10、meet national and international needs.For further information on CSA services, write toCanadian Standards Association5060 Spectrum Way, Suite 100Mississauga, Ontario, L4W 5N6CanadaThe Standards Council of Canada is the coordinating body of the National Standards system, a federation of independent,
11、autonomous organizations working towards the further development and improvement of voluntary standardization in the national interest. The principal objects of the Council are to foster and promote voluntary standardization as a means of advancing the national economy, benefiting the health, safety
12、, and welfare of the public, assisting and protecting the consumer, facilitating domestic and international trade, and furthering international cooperation in the field of standards. A National Standard of Canada is a standard which has been approved by the Standards Council of Canada and one which
13、reflects a reasonable agreement among the views of a number of capable individuals whose collective interests provide to the greatest practicable extent a balance of representation of producers, users, consumers, and others with relevant interests, as may be appropriate to the subject in hand. It no

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

Those who have a need to apply standards are encouraged to use National Standards of Canada whenever practicable. These standards are subject to periodic r

35、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 through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particul
36、ar 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 take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have establis
37、hed 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 prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical
38、 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 that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IE

41、ify graphical or text elements of an application by association with real life tool objects. Tool icons represent tool functions such as drawing, painting, or modifying graphical elements. This part of ISO/IEC 11581 specifies the presentation and operation of tools. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 11

43、system functions. This part of ISO/IEC 11581 addresses only tool icons. Tool icons represent functions by association with real life tools. This part of ISO/IEC 11581 describes user interaction with and appearance of tools on the screen. It also specifies the relationship between tools and pointers.
44、 Other types of icons are covered in other parts of ISO/IEC 11581. 2 Conformance A system, application, or set of one or more icons conforms to this part of ISO/IEC 11581 if all tool icons available to the user in the system or application conform to clauses 5 and 6.1 of ISO/IEC 11581-1:2000 and to
45、clause 6.1 of ISO/IEC 11581-3:2000, and to clauses 5 and 6.1 of this part of ISO/IEC 11581. 3 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

49、ol palette NOTE A tool is an icon whose selection changes the function and shape of the pointer to perform a task with the associated tool depicted by the icon graphic (from ISO/IEC 11581-1:2000, clause 4.17). 5 Conceptual construction of tools The conceptual construction of tools is similar to that shown for object icons in clause 5 of ISO/IEC 11581-2:2000. The metaphor is that of pushing a button to invoke the associated functionality. 6 Tool requireme
