National foreword

This British Standard is the English language version of EN ISO 2203:1997. It is identical with ISO 2203:1973. It partially supersedes BS 308‑1:1993. It is envisaged that when the full range of European Standards on technical drawing is implemented BS 308 will be withdrawn.

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee TDE/4, Engineering drawing, Metrology, Precision measurement and all related documentation, which has the responsibility to:

— aid enquirers to understand the text;
— present to the responsible international/European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;
— monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK.

A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.
