BRIEF HISTORY
The IS0 Recommendation R 369, Symbols for Indications Appearing on Machine Tools,
uas drawn up by Technical Committee ISO/TC 39, Machine Tools, the Secretariat of which is
held by the Association Française de Normalisation (AFNOR).
Work on this question by the Technical Committee began in 1953 and led, in 1960, to the
adoption of a Draft IS0 Recommendation.
In October 1961, this Draft IS0 Recommendation (No. 481) was circulated to all the
IS0 Member Bodies for enquiry. It was approved, subject to a few modifications of an editorial
nature, by the following Member Bodies:
Australia Greece Poland
Austria Hungary Portugal
Belgium India Sweden
Colombia Ireland Switzerland
Czechoslovakia Italy United Kingdom
France Japan U.S.A.
Germany Norway U.S.S.R.
The Draft IS0 Recommendation was then submitted by correspondence to the IS0
Council, which decided, in April 1964, to accept it as an IS0 RECOMMENDATION.

INTRODUCTION
SCOPE
This IS0 Recommendation defines the symbols which may appear on machine-tool indicator plates
or control buttons in order to give the operator ail useful indications for the use of the machine.
These conventional symbols have been chosen so as to be understood in all countries, indepen-
dently of the language spoken in each individual country.
They may be later supplemented by other symbols (see note below).
The existence of this IS0 Recommendation, which includes a relatively large number of symbols,
does not mean that ali these symbols should appear on the machines. On the contrary, it is essen-
tial that a choice be made among the standardized symbols so as to use only those symbols which
are strictly required for the use of each particular machine.
IMPORTANT NOTE
This IS0 Recommendation should be considered only as a preliminary step, for immediate appli-
cation.
When it is revised later, taking account of the results of its application, it will be supplemented
with other symbols which may appear as being necessary, and it may possibly be slightly amended
in order to make some symbols more easily understood by the machine operators.
