scope:

This document: - establishes a working definition for switches and their constituent parts and identify the main types; - specifies the minimum requirements for the manufacture of the switches and/or constituent parts; - specifies codes of practice for inspection and manufacturing tolerances of both full and half sets of switches and their constituent parts; - establishes the limits and scope of supply; - lists the methods by which switches and their parts should be identified and traced; - lists the different and varying ways by which switches can be described using the following parameters: - geometry of the switches; - types of construction; - performance requirements; - design criteria; - tolerances and inspection.
