Overview

ISO 7001:2023/FDAmd 2 is the second amendment to the internationally recognized standard ISO 7001, which specifies graphical symbols for the purpose of public information. Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this amendment introduces additional registered public information symbols to enhance accessibility and guidance in public spaces. The standard is maintained by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 145/SC 1, focusing on symbols, signs, and guidance systems.

This amendment supports the development of universally understood signage, improving wayfinding, accessibility, and health communication in public environments worldwide.

Key Topics

1. Sign Language Accessibility Symbol (BI AC 024)

• Indicates the availability of sign language accessibility services in public spaces.
• Symbol typically features two intersecting hands, representing sign language, with optional flags for specific languages.
• Intended to make it clear when sign language support is provided, benefitting people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

2. Health Check Symbol (PI PF 085)

• Signals the location where a physical health check can be obtained.
• The symbol typically incorporates imagery such as a clipboard, pencil, stethoscope, and a cross (which may be substituted to fit cultural contexts).
• Designed to direct individuals to health screening facilities or stations.

3. Accessibility and Public Communication

• These symbols help ensure clear, inclusive communication for diverse populations, including those seeking medical services or accessible communication methods.

4. User-Centric Design

• Both symbols are intended for broad user populations, supporting inclusivity regardless of language or physical abilities.
• Recommended to be accompanied by explanatory text to optimize comprehension, especially in unfamiliar settings.

Applications

• Public Facilities and Transportation Hubs
  • Airports, train stations, bus terminals, and urban infrastructure use these symbols to indicate availability of services such as sign language support and health checks.
• Healthcare and Community Settings
  • Hospitals, clinics, and wellness centers use the health check symbol to inform visitors of medical examination areas.
• Event Venues and Educational Institutions
  • Conference centers, sporting arenas, universities, and schools can deploy the sign language accessibility symbol to ensure accessibility for deaf attendees.
• Global Wayfinding and Accessibility Initiatives
  • Implementation in international settings supports compliance with accessibility regulations and enhances the experience for persons with disabilities, ensuring equitable access to essential information.
• Culturally Sensitive Adaptation
  • The standard allows for certain symbol elements to be adapted to suit local cultural conventions, enhancing global relevance.

Related Standards

• ISO 7001: Graphical symbols - Public information symbols
  • The foundational standard to which this amendment applies, providing a comprehensive catalogue of symbols for public information needs.
• ISO 9186-1: Graphical symbols - Test methods
  • Supports comprehension testing of symbols to assure understandability in various contexts.
• ISO/TC 145 Series: Graphical symbols
  • Encompasses international standards for graphical symbols related to safety, public information, and workplace environments.
• International Accessibility Standards
  • Aligns with broader accessibility and inclusion regulations, such as those advocated by the World Federation of the Deaf and international disability alliances.

Practical Value

ISO 7001:2023/FDAmd 2 enhances public information systems by supporting clear, accessible communication through registered symbols. Its adoption by public and private organizations helps foster greater inclusivity for persons with disabilities and improves navigation and information dissemination in high-traffic environments globally. By adhering to this standard, organizations demonstrate a commitment to universal design, public health, and the rights of all community members to access essential services, regardless of language or ability.
