IEC TR 62964:2015(E)提供了对IEC 60417中标准化设备上使用的一些图形符号的研究结果，主要用于: -识别设备或设备的一部分(例如，控件或显示器)； -指示功能状态(例如，开、关、报警)； -指定连接（例如端子、材料填充点）； -提供有关包装的信息（例如，内容物的标识、处理说明）； -提供设备操作说明（例如使用限制）； -在多媒体设备上使用的图形符号的当代使用的焦点，以及设想的新的可能含义以及IEC 60417中尚未标准化的新图形符号。

IEC TR 62964:2015(E) provides the result of a study of some of the graphical symbols for use on equipment standardized in IEC 60417 being primarily intended to:
- identify the equipment or a part of the equipment (e.g. a control or display);
- indicate a functional state (e.g. on, off, alarm);
- designate connections (e.g. terminals, filling points for materials);
- provide information on packaging (e.g. identification of contents, instructions for handling);
- provide instruction for the operation of the equipment (e.g. limitations of use);
- in the focus of contemporary use of graphical symbols for use on multimedia equipment, and new possible meanings to be envisaged as well as new graphical symbols not yet standardized in IEC 60417.
