ISO 16249:2013规定了创建金属弹簧物理量、系数和参数符号的一般原则。它规定了螺旋压缩弹簧、螺旋拉伸弹簧、螺旋扭转弹簧、平板弹簧和钢板弹簧领域使用的基本字符、下标和应用符号的表示，并注意技术产品文档，尤其是用于描述和订购的文档。

ISO 16249:2013 specifies specifies general principles for the creation of symbols of physical quantities, coefficients, and parameters for metal springs. It specifies the presentation of basic characters, subscripts, and application symbols for use in the field of helical compression springs, helical extension springs, helical torsion springs, flat springs, and leaf springs with attention to technical product documentation, especially for describing and ordering.
