Overview

ISO 7001:2023/PRF Amd 1:2026 is an important amendment to the international standard ISO 7001, which defines graphical symbols for registered public information. Developed by ISO Technical Committee 145, Subcommittee 1 (ISO/TC 145/SC 1), this amendment introduces new standardized symbols aimed at improving communication, safety, and accessibility in public environments through universally recognized visual cues.

These new graphical symbols offer practical solutions to communicate essential public information across linguistic and cultural barriers. The symbols are intended for use in public facilities, transport hubs, commercial venues, and other settings where clear, non-verbal communication is essential to guide and inform all users effectively.

Key Topics

Newly Added Public Information Symbols

This amendment introduces the following key symbols:

• Do not share food or beverages: This symbol signifies that individuals should refrain from sharing food or drinks, helping to promote hygiene and reduce the spread of illness in shared spaces.
• Keep windows open: Communicates the need for maintaining open windows to ensure proper ventilation and improve indoor air quality.
• Hand sanitizer: Indicates the availability or location of hand sanitizer dispensers, supporting public health measures by encouraging hand hygiene.
• Rideshare pickup area: Identifies designated spots where ride-sharing vehicles can pick up passengers, aiding efficient use of transport services.

Each symbol includes recommended usage contexts, intended user populations, and additional guidance for optimal comprehension. For enhanced clarity, the amendment recommends supplementing symbols with brief text.

Universal Accessibility and Comprehension

• Target Audience: The symbols are designed for use by the general public of any age, facilitating broad accessibility regardless of language or literacy level.
• Supplemental Text: Where symbols may not be sufficiently recognized, accompanying text is advised for clearer understanding, especially in compliance with ISO 9186-1 recommendations.

Applications

The symbols standardized in ISO 7001:2023/PRF Amd 1 serve a wide range of public and commercial environments, including:

• Public facilities: Airports, train stations, bus terminals, municipal buildings, and parks.
• Transport facilities: Locations where safe, efficient passenger movement and hygiene are critical, such as metro stations and airports.
• Commercial venues: Shopping centers, offices, and event venues that require clear signage for visitors.
• Healthcare and wellness: Hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies benefit from consistent hand sanitizer and hygiene-related signage.
• Tourism and cultural sites: Museums, heritage sites, and other attractions where visitors from diverse backgrounds need clear instruction.

Consistent use of these graphical symbols enhances safety, promotes good hygiene practices, streamlines transportation flow, and improves overall visitor experience.

Related Standards

Organizations and implementers should reference these related standards for comprehensive signage systems:

• ISO 7001: The main standard for graphical symbols - public information symbols.
• ISO 3864 series: Design principles for safety signs and graphical symbols, including color and layout guidelines.
• ISO 9186-1: Methods for testing the comprehensibility of graphical symbols.
• ISO/IEC Directives: Editorial rules governing standardization processes.

By adhering to ISO 7001 and its amendments, including the 2023/PRF Amd 1 update, organizations can ensure their public information symbols are internationally recognized, supporting inclusivity and effective non-verbal communication in public settings.
