UIS Symbols
This document is an easy-to-read reference to symbols currently recommended by the UIS. This page itself is the standard.
If the standards have been the subject of a vote, the transfer of these standards to this page is in progress. Can you refer to the original documents:
- UIS Basic Cave Mapping Symbols (completed 1999, reviewed 2008)
- UIS Karst Surface Map Symbols (completed 2006)>
- UIS Artificial Cavities Mapping Symbols (completed 2022)
Ce document est une référence facile à lire aux symboles actuellement recommandé par l’ISU. Cette page elle-même constitue la norme.
Si les normes ont fait l'objet d'un vote le transfert de ces normes sur cette page est en cours de réalisation. Vous pouvez-vous référer aux documents originels :
- UIS Basic Cave Mapping Symbols (completed 1999, reviewed 2008)
- UIS Karst Surface Map Symbols (completed 2006)>
