This Part of BS 7655 gives a general introduction to BS 7655, specifying those elements that are common to the subordinate parts and sections which are issued separately. It also includes a list of the test methods called up in the sections of BS 7655 with references to the current editions in which the relevant test methods are given.
The subordinate parts and sections of BS 7655 that require this part of BS 7655 to be read with them are listed in Table 1.
