Two main issues in developing and standardizing public information symbols on an international basis are covered in this paper: the procedures for the development and testing of public information symbols as applied by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) committee working on public information symbols; and the results of the 19S5/6 test series conducted under the sponsorship of ISO.
