4 Current practice
4.1 General
One of the important expectation and function of the graphical symbols in IEC 60417 is to serve as a pool of standardized graphical symbols for use on equipment to be used, in accordance with the provisions given in IEC 80416-3:2002 and IEC 80416-3:2002/AMD1:2011, 4.4. in IEC publications following the rules given in ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2:2011, 6.6.5.6. The actual applications and use of such graphical symbols include some modifications to fit specific purposes, which are allowed in accordance with the provisions given in IEC 80416-3:2002 and IEC 80416-3:2002/AMD1:2011, Clause 6.
To accommodate any difficulties to follow the rules, a set of procedures which consitute a compromise are given in IEC 62648, in agreement with IEC Guide 108.
In addition, as a result of quickly changing demand in industries such as digital cameras, multimedia, ICT and mobile equipment, there are new graphical symbols not yet standardized in IEC 60417.
This Technical Report classifies some of these graphical symbols including icons and glyph images into two categories:
a) Graphical symbols for control
b) Graphical symbols for indication
Some of the graphical representations shown on the right-hand columns of Table 1 and Table 2 are state of the art candidates for future standardization in IEC 60417.
4.2 Current practice for control
Graphical symbols to identify controls of equipment in general are important and many graphical symbols have been standardized in IEC 60417 for the purpose of different categories of equipment.
Subclause 4.2 highlights the result of study on current practice of graphical symbols to identify the equipment or a part of equipment in the field of multimedia technology. Table 1 shows such graphical symbols for use on multimedia equipment to trigger one of the functionalities and to change one function to another, as non-exhaustive examples.PD IEC/TR 62964 pdf download.
