Ok gang,
Lots of chatter on this subject, but... We don't randomly pick
symbols to represent a message...
The US standard, ANSI Z535, allows folks to generate a new symbol,
but it must be properly evaluated and verified by use of technical means.
This usually means developing a focus group and getting them to pick it out
of a group of symbols when asked to identify the symbol for 'XXX'. Without
this validation the symbol is not defendable in a product liability suit in
the US.
I'd like to see the validation evaluation for each of the symbols in
IEC 60417. Who can supply that?
br, Pete
