This standard details a standard Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) symbol library for security system layout providing standardized, easily recognizable icons representing the form or function of the device and a reduced number of symbols through the development of generic icons with single character attributes for the mount style and technology or device type.

This standard is intended to provide uniformity in the design and layout of physical security systems, making CAD generated construction drawings more easily read and understood by all in security management, design disciplines and construction trades.
