General notes:
In 2002 IEC launched an 'on-line' database format for the symbol library, available on subscription from the IEC web-site. Following this decision, in 2004 CENELEC decided to cease publication of EN 60417 in 'paper' form, to withdraw the then-existing standards and formally to adopt the IEC database without any changes for use in Europe. Consequently the British Standard versions must also now be withdrawn.
