The text of the International Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as a BritishStandard without deviation. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with t

9、hose used in BritishStandards; attention is drawn especially to the following. The comma has been used as a decimal marker. In BritishStandards it is current practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker. Wherever the words “International Standard” appear, referring to this stan

10、dard, they should be read as “BritishStandard”. Cross-references. The references in the text to ISO1176 are to the revised edition of ISO1176, currently in course of preparation. The 1974 edition is referred to in clause3. The technical committee has reviewed the provisions of ISO612, ISO1103, ISO11

11、76 and ISO3833, referred to in the text, and has decided that they are acceptable for use in conjunction with this standard. A related BritishStandard for ISO1103 is BS AU113a “Specification for dimensional characteristics of coupling ball for caravans and light trailers”. A British Standard does no
