The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) has unanimously approved the layout and design for a universal sign indicating the presence of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
 

The AED sign is intended to indicate the presence of an AED for public use or to indicate the direction to move in  order to reach an AED. It should assist in rapidly identifying the AED in a public  place for immediate use in a victim of cardiac arrest.

It is ILCOR’s intention that this sign is adopted worldwide by the national councils that  together form each ILCOR member council. The sign should also be adopted by all AED manufacturers for use with their products and by  manufacturers of signage.

The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) was founded in 1992 and currently includes representatives from the American Heart Association (AHA), the European Resuscitation Council (ERC), the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada (HSFC), the Australian and New Zealand Committee on Resuscitation (ANZCOR), Resuscitation Council of Southern Africa (RCSA), the Inter-American Heart Foundation (IAHF), and the Resuscitation Council of Asia (RCA). Its mission is to identify and review international science and knowledge relevant to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care (ECC) and when there is consensus to offer treatment recommendations.
