Mirko,

Following are comments I sent to the BMTA (British Measurement and Testing 
Association) and which I hope you may find useful.  Please email me should 
you require any clarification or amplification.

Regards, Bill.


4.3.3.4   I suggest the addition to this clause of:

          "and to ensure that (except when an earlier issue is 
          specifically requested) the latest version of a document will 
          automatically be displayed or printed.  

          "NOTE:  Computerised systems employing 'caching' (e.g. web 
          browsers) retain a local copy of a document and this is not 
          always over-written by a later version." 

4.4.1, Note 3  

          Add "However a written note should always be made of any oral 
          agreement for the avoidance of doubt." 

4.5.3     The NOTE should logically come at the end of the section, i.e.  
          after para 4.5.5, otherwise it is inconsistent with 4.5.4.  
          Ideally 4.5.4 should read "... except in the circumstances 
          described in the NOTE." 

5.4.7     Note typographical error - heading should read "Estimation of 
          uncertainty of measurement." 

5.4.8.2   The NOTE requires qualification.  Even popular commercial 
          software may have a 'bug' which is not discovered for some 
          considerable time.  Hence the rationale for the new NMS Software
          in Metrology Programme.  Independent validation should be sought 
          wherever possible, or steps taken to validate the software as 
          far as practical.  

5.7.2     Note extraneous blank line.  


[NB in 5.4.8.2, NMS = the (UK) National Measurement System]
