DIN 14034-6:2016-04

This standard specifies graphical symbols applied for fire fighting purposes, for example, in ground plans or operational plans for fire brigade use, for representation of facilities present on properties or in buildings or premises. They also serve as an indication of certain characteristics of building parts. The new edition of the standard has been prepared in order to incorporate necessary changes. In particular, the following significant changes have been made: - graphical symbols with fire resistance information have been made more practical and space-saving; -in the case of a combination of fire and smoke control shutters (RS) permissibility of the addition of the letter S (for smoke) has been included; - serial No. 23 for a ladder station shown as a square symbol with a narrower ladder; - serial No. 25 for information for the fire department shown as a square symbol; - graphical symbol for an ELA emergency microphone included as new serial No. 38. The graphical symbols contained in this standard partially have a registration number in accordance with DIN 30600, Graphical symbols - Registration, designation. DIN 30600 has been withdrawn without any replacement in March 1999, however. The central coordination of the graphical symbol standardization has been discontinued at DIN so registration numbers in accordance with DIN 30600 are no longer contained in this document. New graphical symbols which will in the future be developed exclusively under the responsibility of the standards committees do not contain registration numbers in accordance with DIN 30600, but can only be registered and internationally coordinated at ISO/TC 145/SC 3 "Graphical symbols for use on equipment". Then they will receive a registration number in accordance with DIN ISO 7000. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 031-04-01 AA "Begriffe und Bildzeichen" ("Terms and pictograms") of DIN Standards Committee Firefighting and Fire Protection (FNFW).
