BS 8888:2017 CDROM

BS 8888 is the UK's national framework standard for engineering drawings and geometrical tolerancing. It covers all of the requirements for the technical specification of products and their component parts.Among other things, it explains the way in which engineering drawings outline and present these specifications. It covers all of the symbology and information that engineers and designers need to include on their drawings, be they manually produced (2D), or in 3D, created using CAD systems and 3D modelling (computer-aided design).It also brings together, in one easy-to-follow document, all the international standards needed to prepare technical product specifications. The aim is to help the UK industry move over more fully to the ISO system of geometrical product specification. As such BS 8888 acts as a gateway - or roadmap - to around 200 ISO standards on documentation, specification and verification.Finally, from market research conducted by BSI in recent years, we know that many organizations are still using the withdrawn BS 308 as they find the new ISO standards covered by BS 8888 too complex to move over to. BS 8888 tackles the complexity of the ISO standards by making the material that engineers need on a regular basis available in one place in the body of the standard - making it easier to access and easier to use.
