Dentistry - Graphical symbols for dental equipment (ISO 9687:2015)
ISO 9687:2015 specifies graphical symbols for dental equipment. It is intended that the symbols are to be used on the appropriate piece of dental equipment and in documents pertaining to dental equipment, for example in instructions for use, marking, labelling, and technical product documentation.
Zahnheilkunde - Graphische Symbole für zahnärztliche Ausrüstungen (ISO 9687:2015)
Diese Internationale Norm legt eine Reihe von graphischen Symbolen für zahnärztliche Ausrüstungen fest. Es ist vorgesehen, dass die graphischen Symbole an entsprechenden Gegenständen zahnärztlicher Ausrüstungen und in Dokumenten, die sich auf Gegenstände zahnärztlicher Ausrüstungen beziehen, verwendet werden, z.B. in Gebrauchsanweisungen.
Sie wurden speziell für diesen Bereich der Zahnheilkunde oder korrespondierende Bereiche innerhalb der Zahnheilkunde entwickelt. Allgemeine Symbole werden von den relevanten ISO, IEC oder anderen internationalen Dokumenten übernommen. Verschiedene neue Symbole, die von den Herstellern oder Anwendern vorgelegt wurden, wurden mit aufgenommen.
ANMERKUNG Zusätzlich zu den Benennungen, die in zwei der drei offiziellen ISO-Sprachfassungen (Englisch, Französisch und Russisch) gegeben werden, enthält diese Internationale Norm äquivalente Benennungen in der deutschen Sprache; diese erscheinen unter der Verantwortung des Mitgliedes für Deutschland (DIN). Nur die Benennungen in den offiziellen ISO-Sprachen dürfen deshalb als ISO-Benennungen angesehen werden.
Médecine bucco-dentaire - Symboles graphiques pour matériel dentaire (ISO 9687:2015)
L'ISO 9687:2015 s'applique aux symboles graphiques pour le matériel dentaire. Elle vise à spécifier les symboles graphiques qui sont à utiliser sur la partie appropriée du matériel dentaire et dans les documents afférents au matériel dentaire, par exemple dans les instructions d'emploi, le marquage, l'étiquetage et la documentation technique des produits.
Zobozdravstvo - Grafični simboli za zobozdravstveno opremo (ISO 9687:2015)
Ta mednarodni standard določa grafične simbole za zobozdravstveno opremo. Simboli naj bi se uporabljali na ustrezni zobozdravstveni opremi in v dokumentih, povezanih z zobozdravstveno opremo, na primer v navodilih za uporabo, pri označevanju in tehnični dokumentaciji izdelkov.
Simboli so izbrani posebej za vse vrste zobozdravstvene opreme. Večina simbolov izhaja iz ustreznega standarda ISO ali IEC ali drugih mednarodnih dokumentov. Dodanih je bilo več novih simbolov, ki jih predstavijo proizvajalci ali uporabniki.
OPOMBA: Izrazi v tem mednarodnem so razen izrazov v dveh od treh uradnih jezikih ISO (angleškem, francoskem in ruskem) tudi v nemškem jeziku. Ti so objavljeni z odgovornostjo ustreznih organov za Nemčijo (DIN). Kot izrazi ISO pa veljajo samo tisti, ki so v uradnih jezikih.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Introduction
Graphical symbols are used in many areas of daily life. They give necessary and useful information of
many kinds in a visual way. They are used as signals (warning or alarm signals), for general information,
as means of control, for the correct application of machines, instruments, etc. and in many other ways
of communication.
Their content of information is very often superior to verbal explanations because their information is
visually acknowledged instantly and is often kept in memory easier and longer than terms or phonetic
explanations.
Graphical symbols are internationally understandable without sometimes difficult, possibly misleading
and costly translations.
Each ISO technical committee is responsible for the selection or creation of graphical symbols within
its own field of interest. Graphical symbols can form the main subject of an International Standard, or
a single symbol or several symbols might appear as part of a standard covering wider aspects of the
subject to which the symbol(s) refer(s).
The ISO Technical Management Board has assigned overall responsibility for standardization in the
field of graphical symbols to ISO/TC 145, Graphical symbols, and to ISO/TC 10/SC 10, Technical product
documentation (tpd) symbols.
ISO/TC 210 who is responsible for the development of ISO 15233, prepared an international guide to
the development and registration of symbols for use in the labelling of medical devices. This guideline
recommends that the proliferation of graphical symbols without international harmonization is
undesirable and contrary to these objectives.
There is a need for simple, internationally accepted graphical symbols labelling that provides general
and specific information to the user in a manner that overcomes the limitations of languages. It is in the
best interest of safety and health of patients, dentists, dental technicians, and other persons, to reduce
the confusion inherent in the use of multiple language labelling. Both of these objectives can be met by
the use of standardized symbols agreed by consensus on an international basis.
The task of determining technical requirements to allow the use of specific symbols is best taken up
by bodies expert in the relevant areas. ISO/TC 106/SC 6/WG 2, Dental patient chair and dental unit, has
taken up this responsibility by developing this International Standard.
This International Standard has been prepared to reduce the need for multiple translations of words
into national languages, to simplify labelling wherever possible and to prevent separate development of
different symbols to convey the same information.
This International Standard contains a series of symbols (pictograms) for use in dentistry. Their
application should be considered in literature for the labelling and packaging of devices used in
dentistry, on items of dental equipment and instruments. Their use is unlimited and a most helpful
means of communication within dentistry.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 9687:2015(E)
Dentistry — Graphical symbols for dental equipment
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies graphical symbols for dental equipment. It is intended that the
symbols are to be used on the appropriate piece of dental equipment and in documents pertaining
to dental equipment, for example in instructions for use, marking, labelling, and technical product
documentation.
The symbols are selected specifically for all kinds of dental equipment. The majority of the symbols
are taken from relevant ISO, IEC, or other international documents. Several new symbols presented by
manufacturers or users have been added.
NOTE In addition to terms used in two of the three official ISO languages (English, French, and Russian),
this International Standard gives the equivalent terms in the Germa
