Recommendation B.101)

GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS AND RULES FOR THE PREPARATION OF DOCUMENTATION IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS

The CCITT,

which cooperates in the work of the CCI/IEC Joint Working Group set up for the purpose of establishing internationally agreed graphical symbols and rules for the preparation of documentation and for item designations (see CCITT Recommendation A.13 or CCIR Resolution 23),

recommends

that, on diagrams for international use concerning telecommunications, the Administrations and recognized private operating agencies of the CCIs and CCI Secretariats should use the graphical symbols for diagrams given in IEC Series 617 publications and should observe the rules for the preparation of documentation and for item designation laid down in IEC, Publications 113 and 750.

Administrations wishing to use symbols on equipment are recommended to refer to IEC Publication 417.

Note 1 - See CCIR Resolution 23.

Note 2 - References of relevant publications (updated in 1988).
