PP 8888-1:2007 Drawing practice. A guide for schools and colleges to BS 8888:2006, Technical product specification (TPS)
THIRD EDITION
New guidance for teachers of design and technology
How PP 8888-1 can help students and teachers with TPS courses:
PP 8888-1 has been written to enable teachers and students to familiarize themselves with the British Standard for Technical Product Specifications (TPS), BS 8888:2006. The aim of this Guide is to introduce students to the benefits of universally accepted ISO technical drawing practices utilizing the general principles and indications of dimensions and tolerances. It also introduces them to the benefits of using technical product documentation and specifications as specified in BS 8888:2006 when applied to current Design and Technology learning outcomes.
PP 8888 Part 1 also emphasizes the links that exist between the process of quality management of products designed and manufactured in schools and colleges, and the process of good industrial practice where the design process is considered inseparable from verification (quality management). By raising students' awareness of these links, they will be better prepared to participate in the rapidly changing technologies of today's world.
The layout of this Guide to PP 8888 has been designed so that both student and teacher can access the relevant standard with relative ease. Sections have been included on all the main areas contained in current syllabi, such as orthographic layouts, dimensioning, sectioning, assembled views, exploded views and parts lists. All examples are taken from BS 8888:2006.
By ensuring that the presentation of their design concepts conforms to the current technical specification standards, students will become aware of the importance of effective communication between designers, manufacturers and those engaged in the final verification of manufactured output. By using the methods used in the 'real' world of industry and commerce they will, hopefully, find a greater relevance in the design work that they undertake.
