What this standard is for

What to watch for

The link goes to the BIS lookup service rather than to this standard, because BIS publishes no per-standard address. Search the designation there; the portal also lists the licences granted under it. The year shown is the edition BIS currently lists; BIS sets a last date for licensees to move to a new edition, so a licence may still name the earlier one.
