ISO Standard for Symbol Design Now Available

Published: Tuesday, February 8, 2005 - 23:00

The international Organization for Standardization recently published ISO/IEC Guide 74, a standard designed to maximize the effectiveness of symbols. “The use of graphical symbols in signs, on labels and in product instructions and other product documentation has a number of advantages,” says John Perry, Guide 74 project leader. “We design symbols to stand out visually, save wordy explanations and convey the intended message across language barriers. ISO/IEC Guide 74 will help to ensure the design and development of graphical symbols that get the right message across to consumers worldwide.”
