ISO 7083 specifies the recommended proportions for the symbols used in technical product documentation. It gives recommended dimensions based on the grid related to the line width to be used.
ISO 7083 is a collection of all the current symbols used in technical product documentation, predominantly created in ISO/TC 10 and ISO/TC 213. The symbols are indexed to the individual standards in which they were created and implemented.
Note: ISO 7083 does not apply to symbols used in process plant documentation, which are covered in ISO 81714-1.
