5839 part 3 1988 - amendments??
« on: June 17, 2010, 04:05:56 PM »
We have two copies of BS 5839 part 3 on our system (I just downloaded the 2007 amendments).

Our old one has amendments made November 1998, while the "new" one has amendments 1988 & 2007. Is this just a typo???

 One of them is obviously  wrong but I am not sure whether 1988  or 1998 is the correct date for the amendment 10207.  Since this amendment was so minor- a note in the forward -  I guess it doesnt make much difference does it?

The second amendment is, I presume, mentioned in the Foreward but seems likely to be very minor as no further detail is given as to Chapter and paragraph.

It does when I've got to update our electronic standards library 8)
