ASABE Revises Equipment Symbol and Display Standards

The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) has adopted two ISO standards for agricultural equipment symbols.

The standards are ASABE/ISO 3767-1:2016, Tractors, machinery for agriculture and forestry, powered lawn and garden equipment—Symbols for operator controls and other displays, Part 1: Common symbols and Part 2: Symbols for agricultural tractors and machinery (ASABE/ISO 3767-2:2016). They replace earlier versions of the ISO documents initially adopted by ASABE in 2006.

Adoption of the 2016 ISO standard versions will make available on the national level many new symbols utilized internationally.

ASABE members with standards access and those with site-license privileges can access the full-text via electronic download on the ASABE online Technical Library at elibrary.asabe.org. Others can obtain a copy for a fee directly from the library or by contacting ASABE headquarters at OrderStandard@asabe.org.
