Overview

ISO 7001:2023/Amd 1:2026, Graphical symbols - Registered public information symbols - Amendment 1 is an official amendment to the ISO 7001 standard, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This amendment introduces new graphical symbols for public information, making it easier for people to understand essential information in public spaces, transport hubs, and commercial facilities through universally recognized symbols.

This standard, managed by ISO/TC 145/SC 1, builds on existing efforts to improve public safety, accessibility, and user experience with clear, consistent signage. The amendment is relevant to facilities managers, designers, architects, and public authorities responsible for wayfinding and informational signage.

Key Topics

• New Public Information Symbols: Amendment 1 adds several new symbols to ensure messages can be conveyed efficiently in public settings for diverse audiences.

  • Do not share food or beverages (PI BP 020): Directs people not to share drinks or meals, supporting hygiene protocols.
  • Keep windows open (PI BP 021): Instructs occupants to maintain open windows for ventilation.
  • Hand sanitizer availability (BI PF 084): Indicates where hand sanitizer is provided.
  • Rideshare pickup area (PI TF 045): Points to designated locations for rideshare vehicle pickup.

• Improved Communication: The new symbols address current public health, safety, and transportation realities by enhancing visual communication across language and cultural barriers.

• Intended Users: The symbols are generally intended for all age groups and the general population.

Applications

Implementing the newly registered public information symbols from ISO 7001:2023/Amd 1:2026 offers several practical benefits:

• Public Facilities and Transport Hubs:

  • Signs for ‘Do not share food or beverages’ and ‘Keep windows open’ help manage crowd behavior, maintain hygiene, and promote healthy indoor air quality.
  • The hand sanitizer symbol alerts users to hygiene resources, supporting public health campaigns, especially in high-traffic or shared environments.
  • Rideshare pickup area signage supports efficient, organized flow in transit stations, airports, event venues, and commercial complexes.

• Commercial and Tourism Settings: Proper use of standard public information symbols enhances the visitor experience, ensuring that all users, including non-native speakers and tourists, can understand facility and transit information promptly.

• Broader Accessibility: The standardized approach supports those with limited proficiency in the local language, ensuring inclusiveness and clarity.

• Health and Safety Compliance: Adopting these symbols assists organizations in meeting regulatory and best-practice requirements for public communication and safety protocols.

Related Standards

For comprehensive implementation and to maximize consistency in signage design and evaluation, refer to the following related international standards:

• ISO 7001: Graphical symbols - Registered public information symbols (main standard, regularly updated).
• ISO 9186-1: Graphical symbols - Test methods for judged comprehensibility and comprehension.
• ISO 3864: Graphical symbols - Safety colours and safety signs.
• ISO/IEC Directives: Editorial and procedural requirements for standards development.

Conclusion

By introducing new practical symbols tailored to emerging public health and transportation needs, ISO 7001:2023/Amd 1:2026 helps ensure effective non-verbal communication in public and commercial spaces worldwide. Facility managers, designers, and public authorities are encouraged to implement these graphical symbols to support accessibility, safety, and a more user-friendly environment for everyone.

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.
