Bezeichnungen für Normen

In standardization - whether national, European, or international - there is a system behind everything. Thus, standard numbers and letter abbreviations for DIN standards are not random products; rather, they provide precise information about specific characteristics of technical documents when read correctly. Authors Jan Dittberner and Michael Krüger explain these relationships in detail and further clarify the interconnections with European and international standards. This compendium impresses not only with the large number of standard identifiers covered but also with a convincing organizational principle: it quickly becomes clear what can be found where. Many examples and illustrations further specify the relationships presented. The sixth edition has been completely revised, allowing for a better distinction between currently used designations and historical ones. Detailed explanations of the DIN-SPEC procedure have also been newly included.
