Dear Mr Chan, you may get an e-mail from BSI justifying what they do, but I find it irritating (mainly because I wish I had thought of it first.) If you look at most of the BS EN standards, you will see that they are the EN Standards with a BSI front and back cover. This makes it an official British standard, since traditionally BSI set various standards within the UK.
The rest of the standard is invariably identical to the EN standard. What I find irritating is that BSI then charge us a lot of money for putting these extra pages onto the EN standard for you. No-one (except this miserable tight-fisted Scotsman) seems to mind paying them for this service. Oh how I wish I had thought of this first. Best regards, David Sproul.

The publish date of the standards from EN and BS EN might not be the same, so to avoid confusion, use EN, which the publish date(actually the date is version) are same as those listed in OJ. >>> <[email protected]> 01/04/03 12:46am >>> Sir What is the rationale given for "some people" not accepting an EN standard issued by BSI? My employer typically buys EN stds from BSI. Is there something different about BSI-printed standards? thanks for info. R/S, Brian O'Connell Taiyo Yuden (USA), Inc.

While it is quite reasonable to cite the BS EN, some people may not think so, thus you should cite the EN.
