ISO 14617的这一部分是对所有其他部分的介绍。特别是，它提供了有关创建和使用注册号来识别图表中使用的图形符号的信息，这些符号的表示和应用规则，以及它们的使用和应用示例。它包括三个索引:字母索引和注册号索引，两者都与ISO 14617-2至ISO 14617-12唯一相关，以及其他国际标准中相关项目的交叉引用索引。

This part of ISO 14617 serves as an introduction to all the other parts. In particular, it gives information on the creation and use of registration numbers for identifying graphical symbols used in diagrams, rules for the presentation and application of these symbols, and examples of their use and application. It includes three indexes: an alphabetic index and an index of registration numbers, both concerned uniquely with ISO 14617-2 to ISO 14617-12, and an index of cross-references to related items found in other International Standards.
