- Symbols for navigation equipment, deck machinery and related deck fittings.
- Conventions for stairs, ladders, hatches, covers and workshop fittings.
- Examples of combined symbols and presentation guidance for use on general arrangement drawings.
- Requirement to use consistent symbols to improve clarity and reduce misinterpretation across design, construction and survey activities.
Typical use and users
Used by naval architects, ship designers, shipyards, drafting offices, classification societies, flag state surveyors and marine equipment suppliers to ensure GA drawings convey equipment and layout information consistently. Commonly applied during design documentation, detail design reviews, construction marking, class surveys and maintenance planning.
Related standards
Preceded by ISO 1964:1975 (withdrawn) and typically used alongside general technical drawing standards such as ISO standards on drawing sizes and scales (for example ISO 5457 and ISO 5455) and other shipbuilding documentation practices to produce complete and consistent GA drawings. These complementary standards address sheet layout, scale designation and other drawing conventions used together with ISO 1964 symbols.
