IEC 62648-2015 pdf download.Graphical symbols for use on equipment – Guidelines for the inclusion of graphical symbols in IEC publications.
This International Standard provides guidelines to ensure that graphical symbols for use on equipment in IEC product publications are consistent with the requirements of horizontal standard IEC 6041 7, and ISO 7000. This document is intended to be used by any technical committees and subcommittees to develop graphical symbols for use on equipment for inclusion in their product publications.
This document is based on and develops IEC Guide 1 08:2006, Clause 4. For the creation of new graphical symbols for use on equipment, IEC 8041 6-1 and ISO 8041 6-2 are used.
For the application of standardized graphical symbols for use on equipment, IEC 8041 6-3 and ISO 8041 6-4 are used. This horizontal standard is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 1 08. One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of horizontal standards in the preparation of its publications. The contents of this horizontal standard will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.

3.3 graphical symbol for use on equipment
graphical symbol for use on associated assemblies intended to achieve a defined final objective
[SOURCE: adapted from 3.3 and 3.4 of IEC 8041 6-1 :2008]
3.4 safety related graphical symbol
graphical symbol for use on equipment that conveys a message with a relation to personal and/or equipment safety and that is not qualified as a safety sign, e.g. because the related risk is comparatively low
Note 1 to entry A safety related graphical symbol may e.g. express a prohibition (Do not … !) or a warning related to a specific hazard (Caution! …); however it is not required to use the safety colours and shapes according to ISO 3864-1 . It can be standardized in IEC 6041 7 or ISO 7000.IEC 62648 pdf download.
