This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 9 June 2008 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,

Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 15810:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 247 “Building
Automation, Controls and Building Management”, the secretariat of which is held by SNV.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
For application to building automation equipments, this European Document takes up some symbols and their
titles without modification from international documents ISO 7000 or IEC 60417-1. Some other existing
symbols actually present on devices of the market complete these symbols.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
This international document presents graphical symbols for use on control, integrated automation equipment
or technical building management equipments and systems.
Ease of use automation functionalities requires clear graphical symbols, readable independently of language,
i.e. internationally recognising.
For building energy performance, it is important to take account expected behaviour of people encouraged to
save energy through building automation equipment. Ease of use is a prime means to get realistic
performance during exploitation. Professionals or end users are able to reduce largely energy consumptions
by setting easily operating modes and functions parameters for best adaptation of mechanical services
functionalities to needs.
For this purpose, graphical symbols constitute the best readable mean, mainly if these graphical elements are
largely, internationally used by manufacturers of control, integrated automation equipment or technical
building management equipments and systems.

NOTE This document, therefore, is contributing to the general European policy for energy saving, particularly in the
fields of the Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC) Essential Requirements n° 6 «Energy economy and
heat retention» (and its interpretative document) and of the Energy Performance of Building Directive
(2002/91/CE).
1 Scope
This document provides a synopsis of graphical symbols which are intended to be placed on building
equipments and/or technical documentation of products in order to instruct the person(s) using the
equipments.
These graphical symbols are primary intended:
 to identify control or automation or technical management equipments or part of these equipments:
electronic devices (e.g. controller, scheduler, optimiser, etc.), sensors, actuators,
 to indicate functions and their operating modes,
 to indicate settings for modes and functions parameters introduction,
 to designate connexions,
 to provide instruction to users (professional and/or end user) for the operation of the equipment.
The graphical symbols in this document are not primarily intended for:
 safety signs,
 public information,
 schematics for systems principles.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
3.1
graphical symbol
visually perceptible figure with a particular meaning used to transmit information independently of language
(see ISO 17724:2003)
3.2
elementary symbol
graphical elements able to be combined with other(s) element(s) to create a new symbol associating their
meanings
3.3
function
autonomous operation providing output(s) in relation with data input(s) and parameters
NOTE Functions within a BACS are referred to as control functions, I/O, processing, optimization, management and
operator functions (see EN ISO 16484-2).

3.4
mode
state of a function, device, equipment or a system defining the manner by which it performs its operation
(EN 12098-5)
NOTE Synonymous: “functional modes”, “operation modes”, “operational modes”.
4 Symbols overview
These symbols are normally printed or screened on black and white or two colours, e.g. a dark colour and
white. Colour is not an element for the meaning.
These symbols are readable static pictures, animation on a screen is not an element for the meaning.
The meaning of each graphical symbol may depend upon its orientation in a given reference system and care
should be taken to avoid ambiguity (e.g. by rotating or mirroring).
Technology for display, print, paint or show on screen, project onto sufficient resolution for keep readability.
Each graphical symbol may be used in any field of building equipment, provided its meaning is clearly
understood.
5 Symbols tables
5.1 General
Symbols in Tables 1 and 2 are selected in accordance with these rules:
− priority for graphical symbols from standards ISO 7000 and IEC 60417. Drawing, title and eventual
comments (IEC 60147-1) are copied without modification;
− completed by symbols based on manufacturers recognized practices;
− no new symbols if they can not be found on devices on the market.

In these tables:
− Column 1 - N°: allocated number, without ordering signification.
− Column 2 - Symbol: drawing.
− Column 3 - Source: indicates origin of the symbol and allocated number in ISO 7000 or IEC 60147-1
standards. If the symbol came from another origin (e.g. national standards or manufacturers), the
source is not labelled.
− Column 4 - TITLE: signification of symbol from ISO 7000 or IEC 60147-1 standard or another origin.
On IEC 60417-1 the title of symbols is completed by a description. An extract from this description is
copied from IEC 60417-1 in this column.
− Column 5 - Application & Comments: gives indications for kind of application and/or comments for the
uses of the symbol.
5.2 Elementary symbols
Table 1 gives a selection list of symbols (or part of existing, standardized symbols) able to be combined to add
new symbols signification by the same way to create compound words.
