(OP)
We are developing a machine that will be used world wide and instead of struggling with different languages we want to use icons to represent the different machine functions on the operator control panel. Are there any standards for this?

There is a company called HCS that specializes in symbols, go to www.hazcomsys.com they have both US and European symbols. Keep in mind that the European symbols are based on ISO 3863 and North American symbols are based on ANSI Z535. I recommend you use European symbols so that you don't have to translate the warnings associated with north american symbols.
