It supersedes BS1765-1:1972 which is withdrawn. The correct choic

9、e of lockers for use in hospital wards is important because the most suitable type not only increases the comfort and well being of patients but also the work of nursing staff and domestic staff. No one type of locker meets the needs of all hospital patients but the types specified in this Part of B

10、S1765 are those most commonly required. The recommended principles to be taken into account in designing lockers are given in Appendix A. These recommendations will not only assist manufacturers to develop improved designs but will also assist Health Authorities to choose the types most suited to th

11、eir needs. Recommendations are given in Appendix B for the information a purchaser should supply with an enquiry or order. Product certification. Users of this British Standard are advised to consider the desirability of third party certification for product conformity with this BritishStandard, bas

12、ed on testing and continuing surveillance which may be coupled with assessment of a suppliers quality systems against the appropriate Part ofBS5750. Enquiries as to the availability of third party certification schemes will be forwarded by BSI to the Association of Certification Bodies. If a third p

13、arty certification scheme does not already exist, users should consider approaching an appropriate body from the list of Association members. Alternatively, users of this British Standard may wish to consider the desirability of assessment and registration of a suppliers quality systems against the

14、appropriate Part of BS5750 by a third party certification body. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity f
