CEN EUROPEAN STANDARDS

The documents listed below are now available as an advance warning copy of the BS EN implementation. EN 1337 Structural bearings EN 1337-4: 2004 Roller bearings EN 1337-6: 2004 Rocker bearings

BS EN PUBLICATIONS
The following are British Standards implementations of the English language versions of European Standards (ENs). BSI has an obligation to publish all ENs and to withdraw any conflicting British Standards or parts of British Standards. This has led to a series of standards, BS ENs, using the EN number. BS EN ISO 15614 Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials. Welding procedures test. BS EN ISO 15614-1: 2004 Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials. Welding procedure test. Arc and gas welding of steels and arc welding of nickel and nickel allows. (Replaces BS EN 288-3:1992 which is now withdrawn) BS EN 60974 Arc welding equipment BS EN 60794-8: 2004 Gas consoles for welding and plasma cutting systems (No current standard is superseded)
