ISO图形符号手册

Being able to understand safety messages and public information despite language barriers or illiteracy is possible thanks to internationally harmonized ISO graphical symbols that, for example, direct you to the exit in case of a fire, or tell you not to swim in dangerous waters.

尽管有语言障碍或对语言的无知，多亏了国际协作的ISO图形符号，使我们仍然能了解安全与公开信息。这些图形符号可以为你逃离火灾现场指明方向，告诉你不要在危险水域游泳。

To raise awareness about these symbols and teach the public to recognize the different meanings behind their various shapes and colours, ISO has developed a fun, easy-to-read booklet, The international language of ISO graphical symbols.

为了培养对这些符号的意识，为了让民众认识到各种形状和颜色背后的不同意义，ISO编写了一本有趣的、容易读懂的小册子---ISO图形符号的国际语言




The booklet follows the Smith family – composed of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Grandma and their two children – on holiday in the fictitious country of “Ambrosia”. Vividly illustrated by cartoons, the story unfolds over a set of colourful A6-sized panels bound by a single corner rivet.

这本小册子随着史密斯家族一起在Ambrosia王国度假而得到传播，显然这是动画情节，这个故事随着一套被铆钉固定在一起的A6彩色连环漫画展开。

Each panel depicts an adventure during the family’s trip and matches it to an ISO graphical symbol. From escaping a fire in their hotel, to rushing Grandma to the hospital, the series of holiday events enables the family to realize the usefulness of ISO graphical symbols which come to their aid by bridging language barriers.

每一集漫画都围绕一个ISO图形符号，讲述史密斯家族旅行期间的一次冒险经历，从逃离旅馆的火灾到送外婆去医院。这一系列的旅行事件使史密斯家族意识到这些能够跨越语言障碍帮助他们达到目标的ISO图形符号的用处

A separate section explains the different shapes, colours and symbols used to convey important information. For instance, the booklet informs us that signs warning about hazards which could result in personal injury or which threaten health are illustrated as a yellow triangle with black borders and black symbols.

不同的章节解释了用于表达重要信息的不同形状和颜色的符号。例如，这本小册子告诉我们：能使人受伤或危害到健康的警示信号用这样的符号表示：一个有黑色边界的三角形，中间有黑色的符号。

“The booklet highlights the importance of graphical symbols as a way to communicate without words,” says Dana Kissinger-Matray, Secretary of the ISO Committee for consumer policy (ISO/COPOLCO). “No matter where you are in the world, ISO graphical symbols can help you understand important directions, product features and other aspects of daily life, such as where the lifts are for wheelchair users, or what areas to keep away from if you have a pacemaker, as well as helpful services such as where you can rent a car or find a hotel”.

ISO消费者政策协会秘书长Dana Kissinger-Matray说：“这本小册子强调了做为一种非语言交流方法的图形符号的重要性，在世界上任何地方，ISO图形符号都能为你指明方向，让你了解产品特点以及日常生活的其他方面（例如轮椅专用电梯在哪，往什么地方逃生），也提供一些有益的服务（如去哪租车或找宾馆）。”

The set of graphical symbols included in the booklet have been primarily drawn from ISO 7001, Graphical symbols – public information symbols, and ISO 7010, Graphical Symbols – Safety colours and safety signs – Registered safety signs. These and other relevant standards are under the responsibility of ISO/TC 145, Graphical symbols.  

小册子里的这套图形符号基本上取自ISO7001公众信息图形符号和ISO7010已注册的安全颜色与安全信号。它们与其他标准都基于ISO/TC 145。

The international language of ISO graphical symbols is intended as a public information tool and will also be helpful to professionals directly concerned with public safety and services.

图形符号的国际语言有意作为公众信息的工具，同时也对直接关系到公民安全与服务的职业起到帮助。

The project is an initiative of ISO/COPOLCO. “The booklet illustrates the broad scope of ISO's work on behalf of consumer protection and the public interest” says Ms. Kissinger-Matray, “The idea was originally conceived by ISO/COPOLCO experts from BSI (ISO member for the United Kingdom) looking to educate the public about the value of ISO graphical symbols in an accessible and user-friendly way.”

这项计划始于ISO/COPOLCO。Ms. Kissinger-Matray说：“这本小册子表明了关于保护消费者利益和权力的ISO工作有广阔的范围，这项计最初是由ISO/COPOLCO专家想出的，当时这位专家正在考虑以一种可行的、友好的方式向公众介绍ISO图形符号的价值。”
