Understand the difference.

Compare the meaning, drawing context and source references of two entries. A similar graphic or shared abbreviation does not establish equivalence.

IEEE / ANSI

ANSI/IEEE Foot-operated switch form

This reference locates foot-operated switch in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented miscellaneous switches family. A foot-operated switch uses a pedal mechanism to change an electrical contact. Its schematic should state the contact state and whether the operator is momentary or retained. The public library uses HFT11 for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.

A distinction that matters

Foot actuation describes the operator, not the safety category of the circuit.
