ISO standards

BS 308-1:1993, BS 308-2: 1985, and BS308-3:1990 were withdrawn in 2000, and replaced with BS 8888 as the British Standard covering engineering drawing and technical product documentation.

This marks the end of an independent British Standard to cover engineering drawing and documentation, and the adoption in full of ISO standards which are used throughout Europe.

As such, BS 8888 does not itself document the principles, practices and procedures to be used in engineering documentation, but instead provides references to the relevant ISO standards that now apply.

Since BS 308 was superceded by BS 8888, and the ISO standards for technical drawing were adopted in full, the number of standards covering technical drawing has expanded to around 200 ISO and EN ISO implementations.

Most ISO standards are developed by ISO/TC 10 (a list of TC 10 standards can be found here) and ISO/TC 213 (a list of TC 213 standards can be found here).
