The standard sets the basic requirements and then each family of sign in turn - guidance signs, boundary markers, information and interpretive signs, warning signs, prohibition signs and equipment identification - covering their graphics, wording, materials, siting and installation, with normative annexes fixing the sizes of the graphic symbols and the colour numbers to be used. It took effect on 28 November 2024.
