ISO 7001:2023/Amd 2:2026 is an ISO amendment to the registered public information symbols standard. It adds two new public information symbols - PI AC 024 for sign language accessibility and PI PF 085 for health check - so designers, specifiers and operators can use the same symbol descriptions in public settings.

What does ISO 7001:2023/Amd 2:2026 specify?

ISO 7001:2023/Amd 2:2026 updates the ISO 7001 symbol register by adding two symbols and their associated descriptions to the published summaries and symbol tables. In practice, it tells users where these symbols fit in the standard's symbol catalog and what each symbol is meant to communicate.

Update	What it covers
Table 1	Adds PI AC 024 and PI PF 085 to the alphabetical summary
Table 2	Adds both symbols to the summary of all symbols
Table 3	Adds PI PF 085
Table 9	Adds PI AC 024

The amendment is organized as short addition instructions followed by the two new symbol entries, each with its meaning, function, context and use notes.

What are the key requirements of ISO 7001:2023/Amd 2:2026?

ISO 7001:2023/Amd 2:2026 mainly requires that the two new symbols be used with the meanings and application notes given for each entry. The practical effect is that the symbols are not just pictures - they carry a defined public message and should be selected only where that message matches the facility or service.

PI AC 024 - Sign language accessibility provided

PI AC 024 is the symbol for sign language accessibility. It is intended to tell the public that sign language support is available, including national sign language(s) or international signs.

For practice, the symbol is meant for public spaces where sign language users participate or need communication. The entry says it is for the general public, including people needing special facilities, and that it may be used at any age level.

PI PF 085 - Health check

PI PF 085 is the symbol for health check. It is intended to show where a person can be examined by a health professional.

The symbol is listed for public facilities and transport facilities, so it fits places people move through or travel to. The entry notes that the first aid cross may be adapted to suit cultural requirements, which matters when the sign is used across different regions.

Comprehension and supporting information

For PI AC 024, the entry states that no tests were carried out according to ISO 9186-1. For PI PF 085, the entry says no test data according to ISO 9186-1 are available and recommends adding text to improve comprehension.

That matters because these symbols are meant for quick public recognition. If comprehension is uncertain, adding text can reduce misunderstanding.

Symbol content and intended response

Each entry gives image content, the behaviour intended after understanding the symbol, the need it addresses, and related meanings. In practice, that helps sign designers choose a symbol for the right message and avoid using it where another meaning would be clearer.

What terms does ISO 7001:2023/Amd 2:2026 define?

Public information symbols are graphical symbols used to communicate information to the public in a standardized way.

PI AC 024 is the registered symbol code for the sign language accessibility symbol.

PI PF 085 is the registered symbol code for the health check symbol.

ISO 9186-1 is the standard named for symbol test data and comprehension testing.

WFD stands for the World Federation of the Deaf, the organization that submitted PI AC 024 for registration.

Who uses ISO 7001:2023/Amd 2:2026?

ISO 7001:2023/Amd 2:2026 is used by people who design, select, approve, or install public information signs. That includes sign designers, accessibility planners, transport operators, facility managers, and organizations responsible for wayfinding in public spaces.

It is also relevant to public bodies and service providers that need to communicate sign language availability or the location of health check services. The standard helps these users apply the same symbol meaning across sites and sectors.

What changed in ISO 7001:2023/Amd 2:2026 from the previous edition?

ISO 7001:2023/Amd 2:2026 amends ISO 7001:2023 by adding two new registered public information symbols. PI AC 024 is added to Tables 1, 2 and 9, and PI PF 085 is added to Tables 1, 2 and 3.

The amendment also supplies the description fields for both symbols, including meaning, function, image content, intended behaviour, need, field of application, context of use, intended user population, age and additional information.

Which standards are used with ISO 7001:2023/Amd 2:2026?

ISO 9186-1 is the referenced standard for symbol testing and test data. The amendment uses it as the comparison point for comprehension data on the two new symbols, and one entry recommends adding text when such data are not available.

What does the ISO 7001:2023/Amd 2:2026 document contain?

The document contains the amendment instructions and the two new symbol records. Each record provides the symbol reference number, meaning, function, image content, intended human behaviour, need, related meanings, field of application, context of use, intended user population, age and additional information.

It also tells readers where the new symbols are inserted in the ISO 7001 symbol summaries and tables. For users, this is the part of the document that matters when updating signage libraries, symbol catalogs, or accessibility guidance.

The entries include notes on test data and comprehension support. That makes the document useful for design review, signage approval, and public-facility communication work.

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.
