BS 8888 - Executive overview
What is it?
A
½ day overview of BS 8888 and the ISO standards that it is
linked to.
This course explains why BS 308 was withdrawn, and why BS 8888 was introduced.
The new standard implements the ISO system for Technical Product Specification, which covers the definition of work piece geometry, surface and edge requirements, and its presentation in 2D or 3D format.
The Executive Overview is appropriate for managers, supervisors, and decision makers, who need a broad-brushstrokes understanding of the requirements of the standard and its implementation.
