1 Scope
This Technical Specification is applicable to graphical symbols for control elements and displays and for
markings for fire fighting and rescue service vehicles and equipment.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and 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
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
graphical symbol
visually perceptible figure with a particular meaning used to transmit information independently of language
[SOURCE: EN 80416-1:2009, 3.4]
4 General
4.1 New symbol ideas for graphical symbols for control elements and displays and for markings for
fire fighting and rescue service vehicles and equipment should be forwarded to CEN/TC 192. The
CEN/TC 192 Graphical symbols group will consider new symbols at each CEN technical committee meeting
and add new symbols as appropriate.
4.2 Graphical symbols for control elements and displays and for markings for fire fighting and rescue
service vehicles and equipment should be conform to the symbols as shown in this document. However,
symbols which are shown in outline form may be filled in actual use for enhanced clarity of reproduction and
improved visual perception by the operator, unless otherwise noted for individual symbols.
NOTE Guidelines for the application of graphical symbols are given in EN 80416-3.

Association (FAMA), 29 Stillman Road, Lynnfield MA, 01940, USA (www.fama.org).

SIST-TS CEN/TS 15989:2015
CEN/TS 15989:2015 (E)
4.3 Limitations inherent in some reproduction and display technologies may require increased line
thickness or other minor modifications of symbols. Such modifications are acceptable provided the symbol is
unchanged in its basic graphical elements and remains easily discernible by the operator.
4.4 To improve the appearance and perceptibility of a graphical symbol, or to coordinate with the design of
the equipment to which the symbol is applied, it may be necessary to change the line thickness or round the
corners of a symbol. The graphic designer is free to make such changes, provided that the essential
perceptual characteristics of the symbol are maintained.
4.5 For actual use, all symbols shall be reproduced large enough to be easily discernible by the operator.
See EN 80416-1 for guidelines on the proper sizing of symbols. Symbols grouped together in a display or on a
set of controls should be scaled to the same degree relative to the corner marks of the original symbol as
shown in this document in order to maintain the correct visual relationship among the symbols. Symbols shall
be used in the orientation shown unless otherwise noted for individual symbols.
4.6 Most symbols are constructed using a building block approach in which various symbols and symbol
elements are combined in a logical manner to produce new symbols.
4.7 Symbols are generally intended to replace a word or words with a graphical representation that has the
same meaning for all operators, regardless of their native language. However, the use of a graphical symbol
to identify a control or display does not preclude the use of words in conjunction with that control or display.
4.8 Symbols on controls and displays shall have good contrast to their background. Displays may use
either a light symbol on a dark background or a dark symbol on a light background, depending upon which
alternative provides the best visual perception. If a symbol image is reversed (for example from black-on-white
to white-on-black and vice versa), it shall be done for the entire symbol.
4.9 Symbols shall be located on or adjacent to the control or display that is being identified. Where more
than one symbol is required for a control, the symbols shall be located in relation to the control such that
movement of the control toward the symbol shall effect the function depicted by that symbol. Symbols shall be
visible by the operator from the operating position in all weather conditions.
4.10 Reference numbers and the standards they come from are provided for each symbol not unique to this
document. This list is not exhaustive. Certain symbols may be found in more than one standard, or in
standards not referenced in this document.
5 Adaptation of symbols as digital display icons
Symbols may be adapted for use as digital display icons on reconfigurable or other electronic displays. Such
adaptations should follow the principles of ISO 80416-4. Special care should be taken to ensure that digital
display icons preserve the visual impression of the symbol from which the icon is adapted.
If the display is in close proximity to the operator and clear identification and visibility is given from the
operators position, the symbols may be smaller than 15 mm × 15 mm, but still clearly visible from that
position. Close proximity is given if the operator is in a designated seat or stand, closer than 1 m to the display
and controls. Whenever the operator’s position is not defined by a seat or a stand, clear recognition and
visibility shall be given from a distance of at least 1 m. Distance shall be measured between the operator’s
head and the actual display or control.
The visual expression of displays shall remain visible under all weather- and light- conditions, including bright
sunlight. The display shall not disturb operator’s vision during night-time.
6 Application rules
6.1 If a control system or mechanism comprises a manual override, the function of the control shall be
explained with the general “Manual Control” symbol in Table 1, no. 3.1.4 with the adequate function-symbol.
EXAMPLE Symbol “Back-up or emergency pump, manually powered” in Table 1, no. 3.10.30.

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------

SIST-TS CEN/TS 15989:2015
CEN/TS 15989:2015 (E)
6.2 If applicable, multiple symbols may be grouped together to explain controls with multiple use
(for example a joystick). The size of the symbol shall be chosen in such way, that clear recognition and
visibility is given from the operator’s position.
7 Designation and illustration of symbols
7.1 The designation and illustration of symbols shall conform to Table 1. Symbols not mentioned in this
document shall be in accordance with existing standards (e.g. ISO 7000) or accepted codes of practice.
7.2 The size of the boundary with a square shape shall be at least 15 mm × 15 mm. The diameter of round
boundary shall not be smaller than 15 mm. The symbol shall use the space available within the boundary as
efficient as possible. Corner marks are not part of the symbol itself.
If a control or function is described by text as well, for example on a Display or dashboard, the size of the
boundary may be smaller than the required 15 mm × 15 mm.
7.3 General (basic) symbols (see Table 1, section no. 3.1 and section no. 3.2) may be used to create new
or additional symbols.
The listing of the symbols in this standard is grouped into:
— fundamental general symbols, for example to describe movements up and down etc. As an example,
these symbols can be used to add into basic symbols to create a specific one;
— basic symbols, for example the side or the top of a Fire fighting vehicle, these symbols shall be used to
create specific symbols by adding to the basic drawing;
— specific symbols, grouped for certain purposes such as extinguishing agent (system) or high rise aerial
appliances.
NOTE Some general (basic) symbols in Table 1, section no. 3.1 and section no. 3.2 are repeated in the different
sections no. 3.3 to no. 3.12 of Table 1 to keep the coherence of this document and to prevent having the user going back
and forward through the standard.
7.4 Additional texts should be preferably indicated underneath the symbol and shall neither decrease the
readability of the symbol nor change it.
7.5 Colouring should be in accordance with Annex A.
NOTE Retro reflecting/fluorescent symbols or displays on the outside of the vehicle are subject to road traffic
regulations of each country.
7.6 Registered safety signs are included in EN ISO 7010.
