ISO 4067-1-1984 PDF

Full title and description

Technical drawings — Installations — Part 1: Graphical symbols for plumbing, heating, ventilation and ducting. Establishes a basic set of graphical symbols used on technical drawings for drainage and water supply, space heating and cooling, and ducted air‑handling systems; these basic symbols may be combined with additional designations or more detailed symbol sets in specific applications.

Abstract

This part of ISO 4067 defines the fundamental graphical symbols intended for use on installation and building service drawings (plumbing, HVAC, ducting and drainage). The aim is to provide a common, compact symbol set that can be used alone or as the basis for more detailed symbol systems and for coordination of symbols across technical drawing disciplines.

Scope

Specifies basic graphical symbols for use on plans and diagrams of building installations covering drainage and water supply systems, space heating and cooling, and ducted air‑handling systems. The symbols are intended for use at typical plan and diagram scales and may be combined with text designations or extended into more detailed symbol systems where required by a project or national practice.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardised pictorial and schematic symbols for plumbing (drainage, sanitary fittings) and water supply components.
• Symbols for space heating and cooling plant items (radiators, heat sources, distribution elements).
• Graphical notation for ducted air‑handling systems, including ducts and common terminal devices.
• Rules for combining basic symbols with designations or more detailed symbol sets to clarify function and connections on drawings.
• Intended interoperability with broader symbol coordination work and later consolidated symbol libraries (see related standards).

Typical use and users

Used by architects, mechanical/plumbing/HVAC engineers, draughtspersons and BIM/model authors when creating installation drawings, schematic diagrams and technical documentation for buildings and plant. Also used as a reference by standards committees and national standards bodies when harmonising or converting legacy symbol sets.

Related standards

Other parts of the ISO 4067 series covered related installation symbol topics (for example ISO 4067‑2:1980 — simplified representation of sanitary appliances, and ISO 4067‑6:1985 — symbols for supply water and drainage systems in the ground). Work on consolidated graphical‑symbol libraries continued in the ISO 14617 series (Graphical symbols for diagrams), which has taken over and modernised many symbol definitions from earlier ISO 4067 parts.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 4067‑1:1984 is an International Standard that defined a basic set of graphical symbols for plumbing, heating, ventilation and ducting used on building and installation drawings.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the graphical representation of drainage and water supply components, space heating and cooling items, and ducted air‑handling systems — providing compact symbols intended for plans and diagrams and guidance on combining symbols with textual designations.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Architects, building services and HVAC/plumbing engineers, CAD/BIM drafters, and standards or documentation specialists who need a standardised symbol set for installation drawings.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 4067‑1:1984 is withdrawn. National catalogues and standards bodies record its withdrawal (many entries show withdrawal action around 2005), and much of the ISO 4067 content has since been incorporated into the ISO 14617 family of graphical‑symbol standards that modernise and consolidate symbol definitions. Users should reference the relevant parts of ISO 14617 for current graphical symbol libraries.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 4067 was a multipart series covering different installation symbol topics (for example Parts 1, 2 and 6). These parts addressed various installation disciplines and were later replaced or consolidated into newer ISO graphical‑symbol standards (ISO 14617 series).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Graphical symbols, technical drawings, installations, plumbing, HVAC, ventilation, drainage, water supply, ISO 4067, ISO 14617.
