Scope:

ISO/IEC 11581 applies to icons that are shown on a screen, that users can manipulate and interact with, and that represent data or computer system functions. This part of ISO/IEC 11581 addresses only tool icons. Tool icons represent functions by association with real life tools. This part of ISO/IEC 11581 describes user interaction with and appearance of tools on the screen. It also specifies the relationship between tools and pointers. Other types of icons are covered in other parts of ISO/IEC 11581.
