What is BS EN 61082-1- Preparation of documents used in electrotechnology about?
BS EN 61082-1 establishes general rules and guidelines for the presentation of information in documents, and specific rules for diagrams, drawings, and tables used in electrotechnology.
Note 1: Excluded from BS EN 61082-1 are rules and guidelines for all kinds of audio or video or tactile presentations.
Note 2: One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of BS EN 61082-1 in the preparation of its publications.
Note 3: The contents of BS EN 61082-1 will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.

Why should you use BS EN 61082-1- Preparation of documents used in electrotechnology?
BS EN 61082-1 is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108. IEC 61082-1 deals with the presentation of information in documents. Part of this information is described in other International Standards.
When information is stored in a database-independent from any form of presentation, this information can be made accessible by distinct views at the moment it is needed and in the form most suitable for the intended purpose, provided adequate tools are available applying the rules of BS EN 61082-1. When information is stored depends on a form of presentation, i.e., as a document, the rules of BS EN 61082-1 apply when the document is being prepared.
BS EN 61082-1 provides rules for the presentation of four different basic document kinds for electrotechnology.
