BS EN PUBLICATIONS
The following are British Standard implementations of the English language versions of European Standards (ENs). BSI has an obligation to publish all ENs and to withdraw any conflicting British Standards or parts of British Standard. This has led to a series of standards, BS ENs using the EN number.
Note: The date referenced in the identifier is the date of the European standard.
