Publishing information

This British Standard is published by BSI and came into effect on 31 March 2011. It was prepared by Subcommittee SDS/1/7, Sustainable development for film, under the authority of Technical Committee SDS/1, Sustainable development. A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.

Relationship with other publications

This standard is the first in a series of “daughter” standards of BS 8900, Guidance for managing sustainable development.

As a “derivative” of BS 8900, this standard has been written in such a way as to reflect the spirit of BS 8900. Consequently the principles described in the standard are designed to be compatible with BS 8900.

Presentational conventions

The provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Its requirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is “shall”.

Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented in smaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.

Contractual and legal considerations

This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.

Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legal obligations.
