Electronic – Switch symbol: Which line is normally-closed

diagramschematicssymbol [~]

The symbol below is for the component TL32P0 (TINY SWITCH ON – MON), included in EAGLE 6.5.

In this symbol, which pin is normally-closed (NC)? 1 or 3?

Or is the symbol not a typical one, i.e. not somehow standardized?

The symbol in your question usually indicates the state when the push button is not pushed, when it is not being touched. The little arrow in the symbol indicates there is a spring pushing the switch contact up to the top position. When you push the lever, it pops back when you release it. That is the ON-MOM part in the datasheet.
