Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any

0.2 Basis for revision of ISO 14617-series
ISO 14617 Part 1-12 and -15 were published 2002. Parts 13 and 14 were published 2004. The objective
with the ISO 14617 project was to harmonize national and international standards for graphical symbols
for diagrams and develop a recognized basic standard for graphical symbols for diagrams.

ISO/DIS 14617:2017(E)
ISO 14617-series is widely used for development of diagrams for technical applications.
The use of the standard and development of the Collective Application Standards ISO 10628-2 and
ISO 14084-2 has led to the realization that a revision of the ISO 14617-series was needed.
0.3 Major revision issues
• Merging of the 15 parts into one part.
• The structuring of presentation of graphical symbols has been changed in order to improve user's
access to navigate and find symbols.
• Adding of new basis and supplementary symbols developed for ISO 10628-2 and ISO 14084-2.
• Deletion of symbols, which were duplicated from previous parts.
NOTE 1 Deleted symbols from previous ISO 14617 Part 2-15 are listed in informative Annex F.
• Term: "Application examples" renamed to "Symbol examples".
• Deletion of technological outdated symbols, especially within instrumentation and control, see
Annex F.
• Reduction of the amount of symbol examples, see Annex F.
• Deletion of "electro technical like" symbols.
NOTE 2 ISO and IEC had in the late 1990s agreed to develop a common standard for graphical symbol for technical
diagrams. The ISO input was the previous work on the ISO14617 project. The IEC input was the present IEC 617-
series. The common ISO and IEC standard was cancelled in an early stage, as IEC preferred to work for a publication
of IEC 60617 in data base form. At that time ISO was not prepared, for a similar data base. A number of "electro
technical like" symbols were deleted before publication of the first parts in 2002.
• Letter codes for process variables and control functions (ISO 14617 Part 6) have been moved to
ISO 15519-2, Specification for diagrams for process industry – Part 2: Measurement and control.
• Development of rules for use of letter codes associated with graphical symbols.
0.4 Collective application standards
Technical committees, requiring a field specific standard, are allowed, in co-operation with ISO/TC 10, to
develop their own collective application standard for preparation of diagrams and graphical symbols in
according to the rules given in ISO 15519-1 and/or ISO 14617. Collective application standards should
not be contradictory with respect to the source standard(s).
0.5 Graphical symbols for fluid power – ISO 1219-1
The existing ISO 14617 (all parts) include fluid power symbols from the present valid standard for
graphical symbols for fluid power component ISO 1219-1, 1991 edition. When this standard was revised
in 2006 ISO/TC10/SC10 and ISO 131 agreed to harmonize it with ISO14617 (all parts) and publish
© ISO 2017 – All rights reserved xiii

ISO/DIS 14617:2017 (E)
ISO 1219-1 2006, as a collective application standard of ISO 14617. During preparation of this revision of
ISO 14617 it was realized that the harmonization benefits between graphical symbols for process
diagrams and fluid power diagrams were minimal. Thus, most graphical symbols for fluid power
diagrams, e.g. fluid power valves, have been deleted in the revised ISO 14617.

4 Graphical symbols
4.1 General
Graphical symbols for diagrams shall be designed according to the rules given in ISO 81714-1. For CAx
application IEC 81714-2 applies.
Application of graphical symbols in diagrams are described in ISO 15519 (all parts)
4.2 Dimensions and lines
The symbols in ISO 14617 are shown in a grid system with module M = 2,5 mm. The proportions of
graphical symbols may be modified according to the requirements of ISO 81714-1.
The normal line width of graphical symbol is 0,1M according to ISO 81714-1. When the size of a symbol
is changed the line width shall be unchanged.
4.3 Modification of proportions
The proportions of a symbol may be modified, if necessary. The extent of modification of the symbol
shape must not result in that it is impossible to recognise the symbol. The most common modifications
of proportions of graphical symbols are:
• Enlargement – by scaling - in order to give space for insertion of text;

• Reduction – by scaling - in order to emphasise a certain aspect, e.g. an lubrication oil pump for a main
pump;
• Prolongation in order to give space for longer inserted text, than possible in the original symbol.
When symbols containing digits and/or letters are subjected to scaling then the digits and/or letters
should be replaced by digits and/or letters of size corresponding to those in the document or a new
symbol with scaled graphics should be developed.
4.4 Orientation of graphical symbols
A graphical symbol may need to be subject to turning or mirroring or combination of turning a mirroring
if necessary, in order to fit into the actual layout of the diagram.
Rules for turning and mirroring are given in ISO 81714-1.
Exceptions for turning are symbols representing components or devices where gravity is a functionality,
e.g. an open tank, a cyclone separator. Such symbols must not be turned.
Attention is drawn to turning and mirroring of symbols containing digits and / or letters. If the symbol is
turned to a position where it is not readable from the bottom line or the right hand line then a new symbol
should be created to the actual orientation.

ISO/DIS 14617:2017(E)
4.5 Different forms of graphical symbols
In some cases, different forms of a graphical symbol can occur. These different forms are given separate
registration numbers. The primary reason for having two or more forms for the same symbolization is
that they convey differing amounts of information.
Symbols having different forms and differing amounts of information (e.g. those for use in overview
diagrams and those for use in circuit diagrams) are marked Form 1, Form 2, etc. This marking is also used
in some cases where the different forms contain the same amount of information, but where more than
one form is justified because of different application methods in the rules for preparing diagrams.
4.6 Types of graphical symbols and rules
4.6.1 Overview
In ISO 14617 following types of graphical symbols and rules are used:
• Basic symbols;
• Supplementary symbols;
• Application rules;
• Symbol examples.
4.6.2 Basic symbols
Basic symbols are symbols which can be used direct in diagrams or combined with supplementary
symbols to form a symbol examples.
4.6.3 Supplementary symbols
Supplementary symbols are symbols which primary must be combined with a basic symbol to form a
symbol example.
4.6.4 Application rules
The application rules give information on how to design composite symbols and how to apply the
graphical symbols in a diagram. The application examples are to be regarded as guidelines.
4.6.5 Symbol examples
The symbol examples are examples on how to combine basis and supplementary symbols using the
application rules.
Each symbol example are accompanied by information on which graphical symbols have been used to
compose the examples shown. The application examples are to be regarded as guidelines.

ISO/DIS 14617:2017 (E)
4.7 Registration numbers
4.7.1 Graphical symbols
Each graphical symbol is assigned a unique registration number. In principle, this number is arbitrarily
chosen. No information can be derived from it. The registration number will remain unchanged
throughout the lifetime of the corresponding graphical symbol, including in future revisions of this
publication. If a graphical symbol is changed in the future, the registration number shall be supplemented
with one or more characters. If the graphical symbol is substantially changed, it shall instead be given a
new registration number.
4.7.2 Application rules
Each application rule has a registration number in the same way as the graphical symbols, except that the
registration number starts with the letter R.
Each symbol example has a registration number in the same way as the graphical symbols, except that
the registration number starts with the letter X.
4.7.4 Registration numbers for Collective Application Standards
ISO 14617 and derived Collective Application Standards are subjected to a common registration number
system, which allows both ISO 14617 and Collective Application standards to use same registration
numbers for symbols (basic and supplementary), application rules and symbol examples.
A Collective Application Standard under development or revision shall use preliminary registration
numbers for symbols and application rules. Such preliminary registration numbers shall be replaced by
a final registration number at first periodical review.
Informative Annex C specifies common registration number rules for ISO 14617 and derived Collective
Application Standards.
4.8 Creation of new symbol examples
This standard includes the most common used graphical symbols for diagrams. In case a needed symbol
cannot be found in the standard, then the needed graphical symbol example should be created on basis
of basic and supplementary graphical symbols as illustrated in Annex D.
In case the needed graphical symbol neither exists in the standard nor can be created on basis of basic
and supplementary, then a new graphical symbol shall be requested from ISO/TC10/SC10 as described
in: ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 — Consolidated ISO Supplement — Procedures specific to ISO – Annex SH.
4.9 Creation of symbols for large and complex objects
Graphical symbols for large and complex objects like machines, boilers, turbines, etc. are not standardized
in this standard.

ISO/DIS 14617:2017(E)
In diagrams, large and complex objects should be represented with a silhouette which allow for correct
placement of graphical symbols for equipment, connections, symbols for measurement, etc. of which the
large and complex object consists of.
Annex D gives examples of symbols for large and complex objects.
4.10 Letter codes, abbreviations, etc.
4.10.1 Overview
Letter codes, chemical formulas, abbreviation, etc. are often used to add information to the graphical
symbol. Following information carrier can be used to increase the information extent of a graphical
symbol:
• Letter codes for instrumentation and control;

• Abbreviations;
• Chemical formulas;
• Unit designation.
4.10.2 Letter codes for instrumentation and control
Letter codes for instrumentation and control uses graphical symbols 1041 and 1042 as information
carrier.
Letter codes for instrumentation and control are specified in ISO 15519-2. Informative Annex E gives
examples of letter codes.
4.10.3 Abbreviations
If the used abbreviation is not self-explanatory, then the abbreviation must be defined in a referred
document.
4.10.4 Chemical formulas
If the used chemical formula is not evident, then the chemical formula must be explained in a referred
document
4.10.5 Unit designations
Unit designations, e.g. Pa for pressure, should be taken from ISO 80000.
5 Representation of graphical symbols
5.1 Structuring of representation
The graphical symbols are divided in logical functional groups, primary according to their application,
see Table 1.

number is arbitrarily chosen. No information can be derived from it. The registration number will remain
unchanged throughout the lifetime of the corresponding graphical symbol, including in future revisions
of this publication. If a graphical symbol is changed in the future, the registration number shall be
supplemented with one or more characters. If the graphical symbol is substantially changed, it shall
instead be given a new registration number.
Three types of registration are used in ISO/TC10/SC10 standards for graphical symbols:
Basic and supplementary symbols nnnn

Symbol examples Xnnnn
Rules Rnnnn
where "n" are digits.

Annex A
(normative)
Application rules for the symbols
A.1 General
Reg. No. Description
R101 The symbol shall be used
 as a frame for other symbols, or information
 when it is not possible or practical to construct a graphical symbol by

combining symbols for the constituent parts of a component or device
or when a specific symbol for a component or device does not exist,
 for functions.
The asterisk shall be replaced with information as stated in a) to g) below

or shall be omitted if the symbol can be understood without such
information.
a) Other graphical symbol(s) representing the most significant

constituent(s).
b) Letter codes variables and control functions according ISO 15519-2
c) Mathematical signs or, letter symbols for quantities, chemical formulae,

graphs and symbols from International Standards.
R201 The symbol should cross the center of the symbol to which it is added.
R222 The symbol may be drawn twice or three times, with the repeated symbols
placed one above the other, to indicate a higher frequency range relative to
that indicated by a single symbol.
R241 The symbol shall be shown adjacent to the symbol for the related
component without crossing any symbol.
R242 The symbol may also represent the reference direction of force, rectilinear
motion, or flow.
When the symbol indicates the reference direction for pressure in a diagram
the arrow shall point from the higher to the lower potential. In this
application it may be slightly bent.
R243 The symbol shall be shown on the symbol for the flow path.

ISO/DIS 14617:2017(E)
R247 The symbol shall be shown on the connecting line and located such that it
does not touch any symbol.
The symbol may also be used to indicate the transfer direction of a

component or device, in which case the symbol should be located on the
outline of the basic symbol.
R248 The symbol may be drawn twice, with the two representations located
adjacent to one another, to indicate a higher speed compared to that
indicated by a single symbol.
R249 The symbol shall cross the symbol for the mechanical link and be
interpreted as if it were located in front of the mechanical link.
Alternatively, the symbol may be shown adjacent to the symbol for the
components that the link connects.
R251 The symbol shall be used to indicate a stop in an extreme position, a stop in
an intermediate position, a stop with automatic re-start (dwell) in an
intermediate position, and a stop with automatic re-start (dwell) in an
extreme position.
R252 The symbol shall be used to indicate the correlation between directions of
motions, polarities or flow directions.
R301 Another shape may be used, for example, rectangular or circular. A

particular shape shall be used if it is necessary to indicate a certain function
or property associated with the shape of the envelope.
The symbol shall be used only when the envelope is of significance for the
primary function. For example, it should not be used to represent enclosures
for the protection against ingress of dust or protection against contact with
movable or electrically live parts. If necessary, the nature of the envelope
shall be stated, for example, conductive material.
R321 If necessary, the kind of insulating material shall be indicated.
R341 The symbol shall be located on a symbol or symbol outline.
R342 The symbol shall be used only if it necessary to indicate that there is one
item only.
R344 The symbol shall be located inside or outside a symbol outline, if any. In the
first case, the indication applies only to the outline in which it is located.
R401 Symbols for connections may cross each other.

ISO/DIS 14617:2017 (E)
R402 When confusion between symbols 401 and 405 or 406 is likely, symbols
giving supplementary information according to clause 7.1.1 shall be used.
R403 In simplified representation, the symbol may also represent any type of
linkage system between an actuator and the affected item, for example, a
combination of mechanical links and hydraulic pipelines.
R412 The symbol may instead be located beside the line or lines, provided with a
leader line terminated by an arrowhead.
R413 The symbol shall be used when it is necessary to indicate that a certain
connection is internal, i.e. an integral part of the component or device
represented. The symbol shall be placed at both ends of the internal
connection or, with a short connecting line, between the two ends.
If the internal connection is also connected to a terminal or portISO, the

symbol may be omitted, provided that the terminal or portISO is
represented by symbol 561 or indicated by a terminal designation.
R501 The diameter of the dot should be five times the width of the widest line,
except when symbol 402 is used.
The symbol may be omitted in a T-joint.
R521 The symbols shall be used only when it is necessary to indicate the design.
R561 If no confusion is likely, the symbol may be omitted.
R601 The letter n shall be replaced with the actual number of branches.
R602 The sequence of the individual connecting lines should be the same in both
ends, if practical. If the sequence is the same but the order is not obvious or
reversed, one of the outer connecting lines shall be identified at each end,
for example, with a correlation indication, symbol 263.
If the sequence at each end is different, each connecting line shall be

identified.
R603 The symbol may represent a physical bundle or a diagram bundle used for
simplification of the diagram. The oblique part of the connecting line shall
indicate the direction in which the other end or ends can be found.
R651 The double line shall be attached to the symbol for the element of a
component or device that is delayed. .
R652 The symbol may be omitted if the behavior of the component is understood
by the symbol for the actuator.

ISO/DIS 14617:2017(E)
R653 In symbols for valves with spring return, the symbol may be replaced with
symbol 2002 for a spring. It shall then be located such that the spring is
imagined to be released when the valve returns to its at-rest position,
independent of the physical design.
R681 When symbols for two or more actuators (manual or automatic) are located
in parallel, an OR-relation between the actuators exists if not otherwise
indicated, for example, by symbol 142 for an AND-function at the junction
point.
R682 The function associated with each position may be indicated adjacent to the
symbols, when applicable.
R683 When the symbol for pushing, pulling or pedal is used, automatic return is
assumed. Thus, the symbol 654 for automatic return may be omitted.
R684 When the symbol for pushing and pulling, lever, or treadle is used,
automatic or non-automatic return shall be indicated.
R685 When the symbol for turning, removable handle, or key is used, non-
automatic return (detent) is assumed. Thus, symbol 655 for a detent may be
omitted.
R701 The actual position shall be indicated by a solid line, the other positions by
dashed lines. The symbol shall be oriented such that it shows the real
turning direction of the actuator, i.e. if the change from position 1 to
position4 in symbol 701 would instead have implied an anticlockwise
turning, then the symbol has to be mirror-image with the “hinge point” to
the left.
R711 The shape of the symbol shall correspond to that of the cam itself. A cam
with circular form may be shown developed as in the symbol shown.
R712 The asterisk shall be replaced e.g. with a Letter code in accordance with ISO
15519-2.
R741 The asterisk shall be replaced with a symbol indicating the operation
method.
R751 The asterisk shall be replaced with a letter code or symbol in accordance
with ISO 8000, ISO 155519-2 or IEC 60027, or a graphical symbol for the
quantity being measured, or else shall be omitted. The asterisk in the form
1 symbol may also be replaced with an appropriate symbol.
R752 The asterisk shall be replaced with the letter symbol for the input quantity
according to ISO 8000, ISO 15519-2 or IEC 60027, or by a graphical symbol,
and the double asterisk shall be replaced with that of the output quantity.

ISO/DIS 14617:2017 (E)
R753 The asterisk shall be replaced with a letter code according to ISO 15519-2.
R831 The arrow may, but the asterisk shall, be replaced with one of the following:
 the letter symbol for the unit of the quantity indicated/recorded;
 the letter symbol for the quantity indicated/recorded;
 a chemical formula;
 a graphical symbol.
The symbol or formula used shall be related to the information displayed by

the measuring or related instrument regardless of the means used to obtain
the information.
Letter symbols for units and quantities shall be selected from ISO 8000, ISO
15519-2 or IEC 60027. Non-standardized graphical symbols or letter
symbols may be used provided they are explained on the diagram or in a
supporting document.
If the letter symbol for the unit of a quantity indicated or recorded is used,
it may be necessary to show the letter symbol for the quantity as
supplementary information. It should be placed below the unit letter
symbol.
Supplementary information concerning the quantity indicated or recorded

and any necessary qualifying symbol may be shown below the quantity
letter symbol.
To make it possible to distinguish between letter symbols for units and

those for quantities, inclined lettering should be used for the quantity letter
symbols in accordance with ISO 8000, ISO 15519-2 and IEC 60027.
R832 The number of rectangles at the top indicates the number of different
summations by a multi-rate meter.
R891 The symbol may be supplemented with the mathematical signs  and  as
input and output labels with the following meaning:
An increase or decrease in a quantity at an input labelled with  or  causes

an increase or decrease in both a quantity at an output labelled with the
same sign and in a quantity at an output labelled with the opposite sign.
The symbols may also be supplemented with a letter code or a graph

indicating the behavior of the amplifier or controller (see IEC 60050-351).

ISO/DIS 14617:2017(E)
R892 The asterisk shall be replaced with the letter symbol for the quantity being
controlled, for example, *T* for temperature, (according to ISO 15519-2) or
a graph or mnemonic indicating the behavior of the controller, or else shall
be omitted.
R1011 The symbol shall be used if it is necessary to clearly indicate the location of
the point of measurement.
R1021 If necessary, the input or inputs shall be provided with signal designations
(see IEC 61175) indicating the action of the signals.
R1022 Besides signifying the meaning automatic return when the control signal
changes to zero (shut-off valves) or a lower value (control valves), the
symbol shall be used for indication of automatic return when the auxiliary
supply voltage or pressure fails.
When the symbol is used in connection with devices e.g. valves, pumps etc.
the following applies.
 Symbol pointing towards the symbol e.g. valve: valve returns to, or
towards, closed position when the control signal becomes zero or
decreases, or when the auxiliary supply fails.
If no ambiguity is likely, the symbol may be omitted in this case.
 Symbol pointing from the symbol e.g. the valve: valve returns to, or
towards, open position when the control signal becomes zero or
decreases, or when the auxiliary supply fails.
The symbol may be supplemented by a figure n %, indicating restricted

closing or opening.
When the symbol is used in connection with symbols other than valves (e.g.
a pump), the corresponding principle applies. For example, an automatic
return symbol pointing towards the symbol for a pump implies that the
pump stops (will take on its inactive state) when the output signal becomes
zero or when the supply fails.
R1041 When a symbol is provided with an enabling input, this input shall be
located 90° apart from the input.

ISO/DIS 14617:2017 (E)
R1042 The asterisk shall be replaced with information defined in ISO 15519-2, e.g.:

15519-2 Table 2.
 third, a letter symbol for modifier according to ISO 15519-2 Table 3.
R1043 The symbols may be extended to give place for all information acc. to
ISO 15519-2:
R1044 An identifying number (Reference designation acc. to ISO/IEC 81346-2) is

to be located below the letter code for for process variables and control
functions.
R1046 If all measurement and control functions (except those directly connected
to the process flow) are performed by time-sharing, symbol 1042 may be
used instead.
R2001 The symbol may be used for springs that are used for the following.
a) To exert a counter-force, for example, in spring-loaded safety valves.
b) To perform an automatic return function, for example, in directional

control valves. The symbol shall be located and interpreted as stated in
R653.
The use of the symbol to indicate automatic return shall be confined to

applications on symbols for valves for fluid power.
c) To store energy, for example, in quick-acting valves and in actuating

devices for circuit-breakers.
d) To perform a function combining a) to c).
R2002 The indication of the center may be omitted if confusion is unlikely.
R2101 The imaginary direction of movement of the link between the symbol for a
valve and that of the actuator or actuating function shall be
 towards the valve: valve closing, and
 from the valve: valve opening, independent of construction.

ISO/DIS 14617:2017(E)
R2102 The symbol may be used as a symbol for a two-way valve in general or, in
those installation diagrams where it is necessary to indicate whether a valve
is straight or angled, as a symbol for a straight valve.
R2103 The symbol shall be used only when it is necessary to indicate the angled
construction, for example, in certain installation diagrams.
R2162 The symbol shall be divided into a number of equal rectangles, one for each
distinctive valve position. In each rectangle, the asterisk shall be replaced
with symbols for the flow paths. However, for certain valves, a simplified
representation with only one rectangle may be used.
R2171 When applicable, the symbol shall be supplemented with an indication of

the actual flow direction.
R2172 For a valve with two distinct positions and an infinite number of
intermediate positions a simplified representation is permitted implying
that the symbol is omitted and only one rectangle drawn.
R2173 The symbol for a transitory position shall be shown only when the flow
paths in this position are necessary for the function of the circuit.
R2174 The symbol for the affected area shall be used when it is necessary to show
that two or more fluid circuits affect a valve on different areas. The width of
the symbols shall correspond approximately to the different areas.
R2311 Applied to symbols for pumps, compressors, and fans, the symbol indicates
adjustability of the capacity as defined in ISO 5598, if not otherwise
indicated.
R2331 The asterisk shall be replaced with a chemical symbol for the fluid, or else
shall be omitted.
R2332 The asterisk shall be replaced with the chemical symbol for the sorbent
concerned.
R2551 The asterisk shall be replaced with the applicable symbol.
R2601 A symbol for a device for separating may be built up by symbol 2601 and, if
necessary, an appropriate symbol for supplementary information that
replaces the asterisk, or else by symbol 301 for an envelope (tank) with an
appropriate symbol for the elements inside the envelope, vessel.
