This standard includes symbols for emergency evacuation plans and diagrams, as well as emergency management maps. In the 2024 edition, there are updated symbols for hybrid (water and inert) fire extinguishing systems, new symbols for hangers, pipelines, valves, control devices, and oxygen and fuel gas detectors. It also includes a new unified table of symbols for Emergency Communication Radio Enhancement Systems (ECRCES).

Important updates in the 2024 edition include new symbols for Hybrid Extinguishing Systems (NFPA 770), Emergency Communication Radio Enhancement Systems (ECRCES), and oxygen and fuel gas detectors.
