Notes
1 In the tables of Relevant Standards in this book while the latest editions of the standards are provided, it is possible that revised editions
have become available. With the advances of technology and/or its application, the updating of standards is a continuous process by
different standards organizations. It is therefore advisable that for more authentic references, readers should consult the relevant
organizations for the latest version of a standard.
2 Some of the BS or IS standards mentioned against IEC may not be identical.
3 The year noted against each standard may also refer to the year of its last amendment and not necessarily the year of publication.
