What is PD IEC/TR 62964-Graphical symbols for use on equipment about?

PD IEC/TR 62964 discusses graphical symbols for use on equipment. PD IEC/TR 62964 provides the result of a study of some of the graphical symbols for use on equipment standardized in IEC 60417 is primarily intended to:

• Identify the equipment or a part of the equipment (e.g., control or display)
• Indicate a functional state (e.g., on, off, alarm)
• Designate connections (e.g., terminals, filling points for materials)
• Provide information on packaging (e.g., identification of contents, instructions for handling)
• Provide instruction for the operation of the equipment (e.g., limitations of use)

Who is PD IEC/TR 62964- Graphical symbols for use on equipment for?

PD IEC/TR 62964 on graphical symbols for use on equipment is useful for:

• Graphic designers
• Multimedia device manufacturers
• Packaging personnel
• Health and safety bodies
• Suppliers of multimedia devices

Why should you use PD IEC/TR 62964 - Graphical symbols for use on equipment?

In the era of information communication technology (ICT), new graphical symbols for use on such equipment as multimedia equipment have been in strong demand for standardization. These graphical symbols are not only printed, engraved, embossed, or moulded on the equipment, but also used on screens and displays.

In the latter case, the appearance of a graphical symbol is dynamically changed to indicate the state of the equipment. PD IEC/TR 62964 intends to highlight the current tendency and practice of using graphical symbols for use on equipment. PD IEC/TR 62964 provides you with the classical graphical symbols targeted to specific application areas as well as basic graphical symbols for general applications. PD IEC/TR 62964 helps you by providing graphical symbols to indicate a functional state of equipment.
