Course description
This two-day course is intended for designers and engineers who require an overview of the requirements of the BS 8888 standard. It has been updated to take account of the latest version of the standard, BS 8888:2020.
The course includes a review of good practice for technical product specification, as well as covering the key concepts and requirements of BS 8888 and ISO Geometrical Product Specification.
Course schedule
Dates TBC. Each day will consist of three sessions:
Participation
To join the sessions, you will need a device with internet access, a webcam, speakers and microphone. Most laptops and tablets are suitably equipped for this. Desktop PCs may require a plug-in webcam, microphone and speakers (or headset). If necessary, it is possible to connect through a PC for the video and use a telephone for audio, but this does not always work so well.
Delivery
The course will be delivered as three live sessions each day, each lasting between 1½ and 1¾ hours, on two consecutive days. The sessions will be delivered on the Zoom video conferencing system, which is easy to use. Instructions on how to join the sessions with Zoom will be provided.
Who is it for?
Designers, manufacturing engineers and technicians.

Understand the relationship between BS 8888 and the ISO system of standards for Geometrical Product Specification
Please note that topics like geometrical tolerancing and surface texture specification are only covered in very broad outline, and not in sufficient detail to go into the application and interpretation of these requirements (more extensive courses are available for clients who need to cover these in more detail).
