The drafters of this part are Chen Yongquan, Bai Dian, Guo Ting, Zhang Liang, Qiang Yi, and Wei Ming. CB/T 16902.1-2004 This part was first issued in 1986 (then the standard number was GB7093.3-1986), and was revised for the first time in 1997. This is the second revision G8/16902.12004 Graphic symbols are symbols that use graphics or images as the main features to express certain things or concepts. Graphic symbols for equipment have a wide range of uses on equipment. When designing a family of symbols for the same place or similar equipment, the consistency of the symbols is very important. When these symbols are reduced to a very small size, their visual clarity is also very important. Therefore, it is necessary to standardize the principles for forming graphic symbols for equipment to maintain the consistency of symbols and ensure the visual clarity of symbols, thereby improving the recognizability of symbols. 1 Scope Rules for the representation of graphic symbols Graphic symbols for equipment Part 1: Prototype symbols GB/T 16902.12004 GB/T16902 specifies the formation principles, formation guidelines and application of prototype symbols for equipment graphic symbols: This part of GB/T16902 specifies the main formation principles of prototype symbols for equipment graphic symbols.

The components of the original symbol with unique meanings. Note 1: Letters, numbers, punctuation marks and mathematical symbols can be used as graphic symbol elements (see GB3101. GB3102 and IEC:60%27). Note 2: Graphic symbols with fixed meanings can be used in family symbols to represent the same concept. 1 This standard will be revised and renumbered GB/T16002.2. (See supplementary foreword). GB/T 16902.1---2004 Original symbol symbol original Design drawing of a graphic symbol for equipment drawn on a basic figure according to the representation rules. Note: The purpose of the original symbol is to serve as a basis for reference or full copy. 3.3 Title title Used to identify the unique name of a graphic symbol. Note: Provide a unique name for a graphic symbol without summarizing its application. 3.4 Description Normative text attached to the graphic representation of the original symbol. Note: Used to explain in detail the purpose, application and use of the original symbol. 4 Meaning 4.1 Expression of meaning The meaning of the original symbol is comprehensively reflected by the title, graphic representation and application instructions. The meaning is clear and does not rely on special technology or subject terms 4.2 Direction of Graphic Symbols Graphic symbols should be used in the direction determined by the prototype symbol. During the development of the prototype symbol and the subsequent use of the graphic symbol whose meaning is related to the direction, care should be taken to avoid ambiguity. For example, ambiguity may occur when the graphic symbol is placed on a rotatable knob. Therefore, the prototype symbol should be designed to maintain its meaning in any direction, such as Figure 1). When the meaning of the graphic symbol is indeed related to its direction, such as 1h), it should be clearly stated in the description of the prototype symbol.

The usage is shown in Figure 2. GB/T 16273.1-1996(016): Wind cooling: GB/T16273.1-1996(021): Wind cooling is combined with GB/T16273.1896(021): Wind cooling to produce GB/T 1273.1996(046): Wind cooling. Figure 2 Example of graphic symbol combination 6 Formation of prototype 6. Formation of prototype symbol The prototype symbol should be formed within the basic pattern shown in Figure 5 while considering the specific requirements of Chapter 7 and Chapter 8. 6.2 Design guide The design of the prototype symbol should be: a) Simple: Convenient for perception and reproduction; b) Easy to distinguish: Easy to be combined with d) Easy to make: can be produced by common production and copying methods. 6.3 Line width The line width of the prototype symbol should be 2mm. As an exception, if the instrument is for visual clarity, the line width of 4IIn and 2mm can be combined, as shown in Figure 3. G3/T15192—1994 (B2): Material input into the machine Figure 3 Line width usage examples GB/T16902.1--2004 The 2mm line width specified is intended to be used only in the standardized prototype symbol atlas. Its purpose is to ensure the overall consistency of the equipment graphic symbols. When the prototype symbol is used in a specific field, the line width can be changed as long as it meets the visual design criteria. It is recommended that the graphic symbols used in specific application fields should also be included in the corresponding product label, see 8, 3. 6.4 Spacing Select the line spacing of the prototype symbol When determining the minimum spacing, visual clarity and the reproduction method to be used should be considered. In principle, the minimum spacing between parallel lines in the original symbol should be less than 1.5 times the line spacing. 6.5 Angles Angles smaller than 30 degrees should be avoided in the original symbol. 6.6 Filled areas Unless the meaning or clarity of the original symbol requires filling, filled areas should be avoided in the original symbol. 6.7 Original symbols with arrows Symbols with arrows should comply with GB/T 1252. 6.8 Character symbols For the components of interstitial symbols such as letters, numbers, punctuation marks and mathematical symbols, simple character forms should be used. The minimum character width in the original symbol is 10mm. 6.9 Negation A right-angled fork formed by two slashes with a line width of 2mm should be used to indicate negation, as shown in Figure 4 a) and b). As an exception, if it is only for visual clarity, the angle of intersection of the two slashes can deviate from 90\. a) GB/T5465.2 (436): Sound suppression Figure 4 Negation example L) GB/15465.2 (5477): Remove the screen The cross of negation can be used to indicate negation, elimination or opposite functions. The meaning of negation depends on the graphic symbol to be negated. For example, when the graphic symbol indicates function control, negation usually means negation or elimination of the function, as shown in Figure 4 a) and h). In the case of a graphical symbol representing a functional state, negation usually represents the opposite functional state, as shown in Figure 4b). When the symbol's usage level represents an action (e.g., an instruction), the negation band is used to represent the opposite operation. The red circle with a red fixed slash as specified in GB/T 2893.1 is used for safety purposes and should not be used as a negation for a graphical symbol for equipment. A slash from the top left to the bottom right represents negation in public information graphical symbols and is therefore not used. NOTE: Standardization of the prototype symbol for negation is necessary only when the negation scheme represents a specific meaning. 7 Basic graphic pattern 7.1 Structure The basic graphic pattern shown in Figure 5 should be used as the basis for forming the prototype symbol (see 7.2). The basic graphic pattern as a design tool for the prototype symbol can ensure a balanced visual impression between graphical symbols. Label GB/T 16902.1—2004 Nominal size Square with a side length of 75 mml. The square forms the most horizontal and vertical dimensions of the basic figure, and is divided into a grid with a line spacing of 12.5 mm. The basic square with a side length of 5 mm. This size is equal to the nominal size of the prototype symbol s0 mm. The basic square with a diameter of 56.6 mm has an area similar to that of the basic square. The circle with a diameter of 50 mm is the inscribed circle of the basic square. Two rectangles with the same area as the basic square have a width of 43 mm and a height of 62.5 mm. They are perpendicular to each other, and each rectangle passes symmetrically through the pair of basic squares. The octagon formed by the line segment that forms an angle of 15' with the outer edge of the square, which is rotated 45° from the basic square of 50 mm, is the outer boundary of the basic figure. Figure 5 Basic graphics 7.2 Application of basic graphics 7.2.1 In order to obtain a consistent visual impression between graphic symbols, the prototype symbols should be designed in the basic graphics according to the following principles: Prototype symbols composed of a single geometric shape, such as a circle, square or rectangle, should use the corresponding geometric shape of the basic graphics + other primitive symbols, and care should be taken to ensure that they have the same visual impression and consistency; the key element in the basic graphics is the basic square ② related to the nominal size. The basic circle ③ has a similar area to the rectangles @ and @. Therefore, in order to obtain the same visual impression as the basic square ② with a side length of 5 mm, the circle without the extended part should be drawn on the basic circle, and the rectangle should be drawn on the rectangles @ and @. The circle with the extended graphic symbol element should be drawn on the circle @; The visual impression of the size of the prototype symbol drawn with the basic figure is equivalent to the nominal size of 0mm; d On the basis of complying with the above principles, the prototype symbol should be designed as large as possible, but it should not extend outside the octagon of the basic figure; The line of the prototype symbol should coincide with the line of the basic figure and use it as the axis; g) In the case where the center of the line touches the octagon③, half of the line width can extend outside the octagon. However, the outer boundary of the line should not exceed the square with a side length of 75 mm), as shown in Figure 6.

The superscripts are consistent with the corners of the square ① with a side length of 75 mm in Figure 5; these superscripts are used to facilitate the precise positioning and determination of the scale of the original symbol. Each superscript is composed of vertical and horizontal lines with a length of mm. G3/116273,1-1396(009); Notes Figure 8 Example of original symbol Note 1: The original symbol drawn in the basic figure can be enlarged or reduced in size by changing the scale when actually used. Note 2: When the expected size of the graphic symbol copy is relatively small or in a place where the viewing distance is larger than the calibration, such as on a small keycap, special attention should be paid to avoiding unnecessary details and complexity when forming the original symbol. It should be noted that clarity also depends on other factors such as lighting levels and light-to-light contrast: 8.2 Development procedure The development of the prototype symbol should follow the following procedure: a) Confirm the need for the graphic symbol to be designed; b) Clearly describe the purpose of the graphic symbol and consider the influence of the orientation of the graphic symbol (see 4.2); c) Analyze the intended users, the tasks involved and the characteristics of the use environment; d) Consider prototype symbols that already exist or are currently being standardized in the same or related fields: Design the prototype symbol as described in Chapter 7; d) Consider the clarity and comprehensibility of the prototype symbol in its use environment. 8.3 Application In actual application, in order to improve the appearance and perceptibility of the original symbol, or to coordinate with the design of the equipment using the symbol, the original symbol shall be modified as necessary, such as: a) change the line width: b) round the corners: fill the area of the graphic symbol 1) modify the design of the arrow according to (G13/T1252; c) interrupt the intersecting lines: GB/T 16902.1-2004 f define the graphic symbol. As long as the original symbol meets the visual design criteria specified in this part of GB/T16902, the user can make iterative changes according to the actual situation. The detailed application guide of the original symbol is still under development. Tip: This standard content only shows part of the intercepted content of the complete standard.
