    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines requirements for graphical symbols to be included in a reference symbol library in a computer sensible form, and requirements for their interchange among computer aided tools.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    IEC 81714-2:2006 Specifies requirements for graphical symbols to be included in a reference symbol library in a computer sensible form, and requirements for their interchange among computer aided tools. The reference symbol library may be used as a basis for the design and editing of documents, and for the interchange of documents and graphical symbol libraries among computer-aided tools. It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 108.
