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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for
voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of ISO 4129 may be the subject of patent rights.
ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 4129 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 23, Mopeds.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 4129:1990), which has been technically
revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 4129:2012(E)

Road vehicles — Mopeds — Symbols for controls, indicators
and tell-tales
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the symbols, i.e. conventional signs, used to identify certain controls,
1) 2)
indicators and tell-tales on a moped and to facilitate their usage .
This International Standard also indicates the colours of possible optical tell-tales which warn the driver of the
operation or malfunctioning of the related devices and equipment.
This International Standard is applicable to those controls, indicators and tell-tales, which, when used, are
fitted on the instrument panel or in the immediate vicinity of the moped rider.
2 General
2.1 It is not mandatory to adopt a symbol for all controls, indicators and tell-tales likely to be fitted on the
moped. Nevertheless, when symbols are provided (because they have been enforced by law or for any
manufacturer’s reason) their type shall be as specified in this International Standard.
2.2 The symbols must be such that, when viewed by the driver, from his normal seated position, they are
3)
recognizable as shown in Annexes A to G .
2.3 Symbols on controls and tell-tales shall have a good contrast with their background. Some symbols can
be only embossed if the symbols are identified clearly without paint.
2.4 The symbol must be placed on, or adjacent to, the control or tell-tale to be identified. Where this is not
possible, the symbol and the control or tell-tale must be joined by a continuous line as short as possible.
2.5 If, in a symbol, a moped or parts of a moped are shown in a side view, a moped driving from right to left
shall be used.
2.6 Focused light shall be represented by parallel rays and diffuse light by divergent rays.
2.7 When the following colours are used on the optical tell-tales, they shall have the meaning indicated
below:
 red: danger;
 yellow (amber): caution;

1) 'Moped' as defined in ISO 3833.
2) Prints of these symbols for reproduction purposes may be obtained from the ISO Central Secretariat.
