The United Nation’s Group of Experts on Road Signs and Signals has agreed (see ECE/TRANS/WP.1/GE.2/44, item IV.7 and Informal Document No.4) on this symbol to be proposed for inclusion into the United Nation’s Convention on Road Signs and Signals, to be used to represent electric (vehicle) charging facilities on road signs.

This is the necessary step for world wide standardisation of the symbol, which is available here.

The symbol was implemented in Austria in several ways:

Road traffic law, road sign § 54 m)
Standard A 3011:2025-06-15 „Public information Symbols“, updated (Symbol AT173) on 2nd October 2020 (Report on the 16th Session of Committee K133, item 9, document 133_N0156)
Road traffic regulations RVS 05.02.12 (signage), RVS 03.07.21 (electric charging infrastructure incl. road markings) and RVS 05.03.11 (road markings)
