Design & product specification

Design management is an area that is often overlooked; this can lead to waste and missed opportunities. The BS 7000 series of standards addresses the issues surrounding design management from initial outset of the design of a product through to the end of its lifecycle and when it becomes obsolescent. In addition, BS 8888:2006 provides the definitive set of requirements for technical product specifications

The standards cover a range of industry sectors including construction, manufacturing and the service industry.

BS 939:2007
Engineers' squares (including cylindrical and block squares). Specification


The standard BS 939 is the specification for the try squares cylindrical squares and block squares used by mechanical engineers.

Mechanical engineers and engineering designers should use BS 939 to ensure that all users maintain the same level of precision accuracy.

It will save wasted expenditure by mechanical engineers, by ensuring dependable accuracy is maintained in one of their principal tools.

By ensuring that the cross referencing to only current British Standards will facilitate the production of UK designed products by manufacturing resources both within and outside the UK.

BS939 is the specification standard used by industry within the UK that covers this specialist area of measurement.
