Bibliography

Provides guidance and recommendations for symbols and other graphic conventions for use on drawings for the construction industry.

This part of BS8541 gives guidance and recommendations for symbols and other graphic conventions for use on drawings for the construction industry.

It is primarily intended for those preparing drawings.

The symbols covered by this British Standard is restricted to the architectural and land registry symbols as the base for architecture drawing, modelling and planning activities. The more specific symbols for mechanical, electrical and plumbing along with the structural steel sections and welding are deferred to those institutes that have a greater understanding of the needs of their members in a fast changing world.

NOTE For example, BSRIA has a large symbol library for the MEP and Building Services engineers and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) covers both electronic and electrical symbols.

It also describes a rationale of symbolism (Clause4) which establishes rules for the design of symbols and other graphic conventions, and gives recommendations for the application of those rules and the ways in which symbolism should be used (Clause5).

It does not include the following:

  • symbols applicable to signs for use on buildings or equipment;

  • symbols for use on fire protection drawings (which are given in BS1635).
