Discussion
In our research we noticed that there is only very limited test data available:
In a Japanese study to propose domestically unified graphical symbols based on scientific methods, the directional pictogram variant labeled as Eco-Mo Foundation reached a comprehension score of 96.1, an almost perfect value (Eco-Mo Foundation, 2001).
