Testing Symbols for Fire Situations

B. C. Pierman / N. D. Lerner

This article describes the testing and development of pictorial signs for fire situations. The use of symbols for visual communication and issues of standardization are discussed. The National Bureau of Standards has cooperated actively with the National Fire Protection Association in studying two sets of symbols, and the testing programs are described. One set of pictograms included fire safety symbols, for alerting building occupants to aspects of egress, fire alarm, fire fighting, and fire safety. The other set was fire fighting symbols, to aid fire fighters in locating and identifying equipment and utilities. Work on both symbol sets is directed toward eventual standardization by NFPA.
