You Lot Complain About The Price Of Bs7671...

[Sidewinder]

Try these two for size for the job I am working on now, and these are the starting point.

I believe there will be about another 10 at similar costs.

On a £/page basis, BS7671 is CHEAP!!!

That's £436 as a non-member, for 188 pages including covers etc. £2.32 per page.

BS7671 is £80.00 for 464 pages that's £0.17/page

Comparing electronic version page counts that is.

Only trouble is there are some publications even more expensive!

I realise that Manator, I just used these two as examples as they are BS's, and kind of linked as safety related.

It must be a nightmare for you doing your job, I imagine you have quite a collection of British Standards now?

 

[Sidewinder]

I do!

At the moment I am doing a CE marking consultation on the control system on some NZ kit potentially coming into the EU.

Oh I have laughed!

I can't post any details in open forum due to commercial confidentiality.

I am however, amazed at what is considered acceptable considering we work to the same ISO standards!!!

Expensive pieces of paper?

Marriage certificate!

Even more so, if you want to get a piece of paper to get rid of the one you have, so that you can get another one, or perhaps, so that you don't have a valid one any more!

Expensive?
