1.An Approved Belgian Standard (of purely Belgian origin), is a complete document (cover and technical contents).
It is established in bilingual version french/english in one or two booklets.
2.An Endorsed Belgian Standard (implementation of an European Standard (EN) or of a Harmonization Document (HD)) is composed of a cover taking the title of the Standard in four languages (FR/NL/DE/EN), the references of EN/HD and the dates of authorization of publication.
According to the case, the cover is accompanied:
- either by an EN or a HD (if the document was elaborated within a technical body of CENELEC),
- either by an implementation note as EN/HD if the document is based on a IEC-Publication and to which the possible common modifications will be joined.
3.If the EN/HD is basd on a IEC-Publication (bilingual english/french in only one booklet), this one is never joined.
It is thus necessary to order the IEC-Publication separately.
Caution!
The European Standards, the Harmonization Documents and the Implementation notes (supplemented by possible common modifications) exist in three separate versions (german/english/french).
It is thus necessary to specify the desired version during the ordering. In the absence of indication, the English version will be sent.
