23、 applied on equipment for use in a specific context, for supporting documentation and for other International Standards. Page 4A graphical symbol is defined as a visually perceptible figure with a particular meaning used to transmit information independently of language. Graphical symbols are used o
24、n equipment for a wide range of purposes. The understanding of such symbols can be improved by consistent design. This is particularly important where families of symbols are used in one location or on similar equipment. Good design also helps to maintain the legibility of symbols when they are redu
25、ced to small dimensions for application. Thus, there is a need to standardize the principles for creating graphical symbols for use on equipment to ensure visual clarity, to maintain consistency and thereby to improve recognition. The IEC 80416 series is a multi-part international standard which pro
26、vides basic principles and guidelines for the creation of graphical symbols for use on equipment (Parts 1 and 2) and also principles and guidelines for adapting registered graphical symbols for use in practice (Parts 3 and 4). !“BS EN 80416-3:2002+A1:2011EN 80416-3:2002+A1:2011 (E)BASIC PRINCIPLES F

34、1 (E)3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this part of IEC 80416, the following definitions apply together with the terms defined in IEC 80416-1: 3.1 nominal size 50 mm; the lateral dimension of the basic square 2 as shown in the basic pattern in IEC 80416-1 4 Area of application 4.1 Equipmen
35、t Graphical symbols may, for example, be printed, engraved, embossed, or moulded on the equipment. The technology used to reproduce a graphical symbol and apply it to a piece of equipment may have an influence on its size and appearance. There may be a need to modify the symbol original in order to
36、ensure visual clarity provided that the original meaning is retained. 4.2 Screens and displays In this application, ISO 80416-4 shall be taken into consideration. Symbol originals may need to be modified to take into account restrictions imposed by appearing on a screen or display. NOTE IEC 60073 gi
37、ves basic and safety principles for man-machine interface on screens and displays. 4.3 Supporting documentation Graphical symbols reproduced in supporting documentation shall convey the same graphical impression as those used on the equipment. 4.4 International Standards If International Standards p
38、repared by technical committees contain standardized graphical symbols or suitably modified graphical symbols for specific applications, the graphical symbol shall be illustrated together with the registration number and title obtained from either ISO 7000 or IEC 60417. In cases where modified graph
39、ical symbols in accordance with this part of IEC 80416 are adopted, the text “modified“ shall be shown under the registration number. NOTE International standards may also contain graphical symbols for diagrams. In such cases, IEC 60617 database and ISO 14617 should be consulted. 5 Size of graphical
40、 symbols in use Symbol originals created on the basis of IEC 80416-1 and ISO 80416-2 and standardized in IEC 60417 and ISO 7000 have a visual impression of size corresponding to the nominal size 50 mm. The symbol original to be applied on equipment may therefore be reduced or enlarged to obtain a gr
41、aphical symbol in a desired size.

45、of graphical elements; g) to modify the type of arrow. If several graphical symbols are applied together, it can be necessary and it is permitted to adjust their relative sizes and positions in order to achieve a balanced appearance on the equipment. These changes shall only be made to the extent th
46、at the basic communicative characteristics of the graphical symbol remain unchanged. !“BS EN 80416-3:2002+A1:2011EN 80416-3:2002+A1:2011 (E)6.4 Filled areas White areas may be filled as in the example in figure 3.
