ASTM International Committee F12 on Security Systems and Equipment invites all interested parties to participate in the current revision of ASTM F967, Practice for Security Engineering Symbols. The standard is under the jurisdiction of Subcommittee F12.10 on Systems, Products and Services.

According to Ed Conrath, senior principal, Protection Engineering Consultants, and F12 committee chairman, ASTM F967 is being revised to incorporate the latest security symbols used in the engineering and security industry. “Anyone interested is invited to send new symbols or revisions to existing symbols for possible incorporation into the standard,” Conrath says.
