National foreword

This British Standard is the official English language version of EN ISO 3098‑2:2000. It is identical with ISO 3098‑2:2000. This standard, together with BS 8888 and other implemented European and International Standards listed in annexes A and B of BS 8888, supersedes all parts of BS 308 which are withdrawn.

The European and International Standards that were implemented to form subsections of Part 3 of BS 308 and were dual numbered, are now listed by the implementation number only, e.g. BS EN ISO xxxx. The pocket guide previously available is currently under review.

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee TDW/4, Engineering drawing, metrology, precision measurement and all related documentation, to Subcommittee TDW/4/-/1, General drawing principles, conventions and 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 subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary.

Cross-references

Attention is drawn to the fact that CEN and CENELEC Standards normally include an annex which lists normative references to international publications with their corresponding European publications. The British Standards which implement these international or European publications may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the section entitled "International Standards Correspondence Index", or by using the "Find" facility of the BSI Standards Electronic Catalogue.

A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.

Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.
