This part of ISO 14617 serves as an introduction to all the other parts.In particular,it gives information on the creation and use of registration numbers for identifying graphical symbols used in diagrams,rules for the presentation and application of these symbols,and examples of their use and application.It includes three indexes:an alphabetic index and an index of registration numbers,both concerned uniquely with ISO 14617-2 to ISO 14617-12,and an index of cross-references to related items found in other international Standards.
For the fundamental rules of creation and application of gragpical symbols in diagrams,see ISO 81714-1.
