ISO 28564-2:2016为准备、设计、施工、检查、更新和测试的各个阶段提供了一系列指南，包括在公共场所和工作区域使用的位置标志或方向标志。 ISO 28564-2:2016适用于各种公共场所使用的位置标志和方向标志的设计和使用，如购物中心、商店、医院、公共汽车站和火车站、机场、体育、展览馆和娱乐综合体、城市地区、公园、花园和乡村、公共景点、博物馆和商业办公楼。工作区位置标志和方向标志的设计和使用也可参考其内容。 它不适用于受法规或指定设计原则约束的部门（例如，公路上的交通标志）。然而，在给定的公共环境中，或在寻路和标志设计概要中，公共信息有时需要与其他信息相关联，因此ISO 28564本部分中包含的许多原则可能与协调方案的规划有关。

ISO 28564-2:2016 gives a range of guidelines for various stages of preparation, design, construction, inspection, updating and testing which comprise a location sign or a direction sign used in public places and working areas. ISO 28564-2:2016 is applicable to the design and use of location signs and direction signs used in all sorts of public places, such as shopping centres, stores, hospitals, bus and railway stations, airports, sporting, exhibition halls and entertainment complexes, urban areas, parks, gardens and countryside, public attractions, museums and commercial office buildings. The design and use of location signs and direction signs in working areas can also resort to the content for reference. It is not applicable to those sectors (for example, traffic signs on a public highway), which are subject to regulations or specified design principles. However, in a given public environment or within a wayfinding and signing design brief, public information sometimes needs to be associated with other messaging, so many of the principles contained in this part of ISO 28564 can be relevant in the planning of a coordinated scheme.
