4 Classification
Graphic symbols Symbols are divided into: a) Technical product graphic symbols; group symbol representation rules; color symbol representation rules; specific expressions and definitions apply to this standard; schematic diagrams are used to represent the relationship between the components of the system or equipment; geometric characteristics (such as size, distance, angle, position, orientation, etc.) and manufacturing processes involved in the entire process of product design, manufacturing, measurement and quality assurance; b) Non-specified graphic symbols, the main ones include: display symbols: present the function of the equipment (such as connection terminals, filling points, etc.) or working status (such as open, close, disconnected, alarm, etc.); control symbols: as operating instructions; icons: presented on the screen or display as instructions for use. ) Graphic symbols for signs mainly include: Public information graphic symbols: convey information to the public and can be understood without professional training or exercises: Safety symbols: together with safety colors and safety shapes, form safety signs to convey safety information: Traffic symbols: together with colors and geometric shapes, form traffic signs to convey traffic safety and management information: 5 Standardization procedures
The following procedures should be followed when designing graphic symbols and standardizing them: a) Investigate needs: Investigate the objective needs of the information to be conveyed, and demonstrate that graphic symbols are indeed needed to convey the information: 1
GB/T16900—2008
b) Determine the application field: According to the classification of graphic symbols in Chapter 4, determine the application field of the graphic symbol to be designed Describe the object: Clearly and clearly describe the object represented by the graphic symbol and the function and meaning of the graphic symbol: C
d) Collect information: Find and collect current national standards, industry standards, international standards, and foreign Graphic symbols for similar objects that already exist in standards and other relevant materials; Use current standards: If there are graphic symbols for the same object in the current national standards, and their design meets the requirements of GB/T16901, GB/T169C2 or GB/T169C3, they should be adopted directly; Design plan: If there are no graphic symbols for the same object in the current national standards or the current standards cannot be adopted, the graphic symbol plan for the object should be designed in accordance with the requirements of GB/T169C1, GB/T169G2 or GB/T16903: Test: Test the comprehensibility and understanding of the graphic symbol plan; g) Determine the graphic symbol: According to the test results, the standard graphic symbol can be directly determined, or the graphic symbol plan can be modified until a satisfactory plan is obtained; 1) Registration: Register with the relevant standardization technical committee. Note: Graphic symbol designers are encouraged to design graphic symbols according to the standardized procedures of this chapter. 6 Representation rules
6.1 Meaning
6.1.1 The meaning should be clearly and unambiguously expressed. Graphic symbols and meanings should correspond one to one, that is, one meaning is represented by one graphic symbol, and one graphic symbol expresses one meaning.
6.1.2 For different fields, the same graphic symbol can also represent different meanings without causing confusion. 6.1.3 When the meanings expressed are similar, but different forms are designed for graphic symbols to achieve different functions or to meet different viewing requirements, these graphic symbols should be given different meanings. 6.1.4 Graphic symbols should be designed so that their meanings can be correctly understood in any direction: Graphic symbols whose meanings are related to direction, if set on a carrier that may change direction (such as a rotatable knob), will lead to deviations in their legitimate understanding. At this time, it should be clearly stated in the relevant standards.
6.2 Name
The name of the graphic symbol is given according to the object it expresses, and the name should be consistent with the meaning. 6.3 Expression form
The different application fields of graphic symbols determine the different user groups and the observation distances of the symbols. In order to meet the requirements of different user groups and general viewing distances, different expression forms should be considered when designing graphic symbols (see Table 1).

More concrete
The design of graphic symbols should comply with the requirements of relevant national standards in the field to which they belong. Among them, graphic symbols for technical product documents should be designed on the basic grid in accordance with the requirements of GB/T16901.1, graphic symbols for equipment should be designed on the basic pattern in accordance with the requirements of GB/T16902.1, and graphic symbols for signs should be designed on the basic model. Among them, public information graphic symbols should be designed on template 1 in accordance with the requirements of GB/T16903.1.
Note: GB/T15565.1 gives the definition and illustration of the basic grid, basic pattern and basic model. 2
7.2 Configuration
The configuration of graphic symbols should be:
Clear and concise: the number of graphic symbol details is small and the details are easy to identify: easy to understand: easy to associate with the meaning to be expressed, that is, easy to understand: easy to remember: easy for people to learn and remember; easy to distinguish: easy to distinguish from other graphic symbols that may be used at the same time; GB/T16900—2008
Easy to draw: easy to draw and copy, can be produced by conventional production methods, and meet the requirements of microfilm photography and computer processing. 7.3 Combination
Gift should be used to combine the graphic symbols and (or) graphic symbol elements specified in the standard to form a new graphic symbol. The meaning of the new graphic symbol should not conflict with the meaning represented by each component. When combining to form a new graphic symbol, the combination method adopted should meet the requirements of the relevant standards in the field.
7.4 Negation
7.4.1 Negation means the opposite of affirmation, denial of the existence of a specific thing or elimination of a certain function. According to the scope of negation, negation is divided into: 1. Total negation: negation of the overall meaning of the graphic symbol; 2. Partial negation: negation of only a part of the graphic symbol. The expression of negation is
Negation straight bar: a red straight bar covering the graphic symbol from the upper left to the lower right; fork: a cross-shaped figure composed of two straight bars covering the symbol element at an appropriate angle; red painting: painting the symbol element to be negated red. 7.4.2 When adding a negation element to a graphic symbol or a symbol element, the clarity and comprehension of the graphic symbol should not be disturbed. If the negation element has a greater impact on the understanding of the graphic symbol, the graphic symbol can be represented in a mirror image without hindering normal understanding. 7.4.3 If information can be conveyed in both positive and negative forms, the positive form should be used. Graphic symbols combined with negative elements should be expressed in positive form.
7.5 Test
The test of medical symbols should comply with the requirements of relevant national standards, and the test of graphic symbols for signs should comply with the requirements of GB/T16903.2.
8Registration
The graphic symbols of national standards shall be uniformly registered. Any graphic symbol shall have only one registration code. The registration code consists of the following:) National standard number:
b) Graphic symbol number in the standard:
c) Graphic symbol registration number.
