- Scope
- This part of BS 8541 gives guidance and recommendations for symbols and other graphic conventions for use on drawings for the construction industry. It is primarily intended for those preparing drawings. The symbols covered by this British Standard is restricted to the architectural and land registry symbols as the base for architecture drawing, modelling and planning activities. The more specific symbols for mechanical, electrical and plumbing along with the structural steel sections and welding are deferred to those institutes that have a greater understanding of the needs of their members in a fast changing world.
