3、tional foreword This BritishStandard has been prepared under the direction of the Automobile Standards Committee and is identical with ISO4100 “Road vehicles World parts manufacturer identifier (WPMI) code” prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC22, Road vehicles, and published in1980 by the Internat
4、ional Organization for Standardization (ISO). Terminology and conventions. 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 those used in BritishStandards; atte
5、ntion is especially drawn to the following. Wherever the words “International Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as “BritishStandard”. There is no BritishStandard corresponding to ISO3833:1977 to which reference is made in clause3. The Technical Committee has reviewed
6、the provisions of that International Standard and has decided that they are acceptable for use in conjunction with this standard. 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. Compl
7、iance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

11、blish, on a world-wide basis, the identification of the manufacturers of parts for road vehicles; this identifier may serve, at the manufacturers option, as a substitute or an addition for various national or international systems which already exist, such as name and address, trade mark, etc. The p
