Abstract :
Efforts to ensure complete agreement between British Standards and CEE specifications are being made in all relevant fields. This article, however, concentrates on the requirements for domestic appliances, which, owing to the operation of the BEAB, are of great interest in Britain; they are also fairly representative of the other cases. Photograph (right) shows extensions in progress at the British Electricity Council Appliance Testing Laboratories, where appliances are tested for the BEAB and the area electricity boards. A new laboratory wing is in course of erection at the rear of the building.
