Full title and description

ISO 3767-1:2016/Amd 1:2020 — Tractors, machinery for agriculture and forestry, powered lawn and garden equipment — Symbols for operator controls and other displays — Part 1: Common symbols — Amendment 1. This amendment updates and adds to the common graphical symbols used on operator controls and displays for tractors, agricultural and forestry machinery, and powered lawn & garden equipment.

Abstract

ISO 3767-1:2016 establishes a set of standardized, language-independent graphical symbols (pictograms) for operator controls and other displays common across multiple types of agricultural and forestry tractors and powered lawn and garden equipment. Amendment 1 (2020) provides technical changes and additions to the 2016 fourth edition to reflect developments in operator interfaces and to harmonize symbol usage.

Scope

This amendment modifies ISO 3767-1:2016 (Part 1: Common symbols) by adding and/or clarifying common operator-control symbols and related presentation details for use across tractors, agricultural and forestry machinery, and powered lawn & garden equipment. The objective is to improve cross-manufacturer consistency of control and display symbols to enhance operator safety and usability. The amendment is intended to be used alongside the main 2016 edition of Part 1.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized common graphical symbols (pictograms) for operator controls and displays.
• Updates and additions to specific symbols to reflect new functionality or clarified semantics introduced since 2016.
• Guidance on symbol presentation, sizing and, where applicable, color use and contrast to ensure legibility and recognizability.
• Requirements to apply the amended symbols consistently across equipment types to support interoperability of operator interfaces.
• Normative amendment text intended to be applied together with the full Part 1 document (2016 edition).

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of tractors, agricultural implements, forestry machinery and powered lawn & garden equipment; product designers and human factors engineers responsible for operator controls and displays; technical authors of operator manuals; safety and compliance officers; national standards bodies and testing organizations. The amendment is used when implementing or updating control-panel graphics and when harmonizing UI across product ranges.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is Amendment 1 (2020) to ISO 3767-1:2016 — the international standard that defines common graphical symbols for operator controls and other displays used on tractors, agricultural and forestry machinery, and powered lawn & garden equipment.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers updates and additions to the common (Part 1) symbol set: clarifications to symbol meanings, presentation guidance, and new/modified pictograms intended to be used in conjunction with the 2016 fourth-edition Part 1 document.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Equipment manufacturers, UI/human-factors designers, technical writers, safety and compliance teams, test labs and standards bodies—any party responsible for the design, labeling and documentation of operator controls and displays on the covered equipment types.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The amendment (ISO 3767-1:2016/Amd 1:2020) is published and active as of 30 October 2020 and applies to the 2016 edition of Part 1; it is not a standalone revision but an amendment to that edition. Users should confirm national adoption status for compliance in a given market.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 3767 is a multipart standard (at least Parts 1, 2 and 3). Part 1 defines common symbols; Parts 2 and 3 define symbols specific to agricultural tractors/machinery and powered lawn & garden equipment respectively; these parts also received amendments in 2020.
