BS 7671 :2018 + A4 :2026 Roman Numerals

AJJewsbury

One oddity I noticed in the BOB, that while existing Roman numerals (i) (ii) (iv) etc.for sub-paragraphs have been changed to Latin Letters (a) (b) etc. - on other places things that were previously bulleted lists have been changed to use Roman numerals (e.g. the NOTE to 527.2.4).

Does anyone know the underlying thinking?

  • I noticed that. It is simply a change to indenting.

    GK will be along soon, but in the mean time, I suggest that harmonization might be something to do with it.

    ETA, it may make it easier to refer to the text: e.g., "123.4.5 (a) (iii)" is probably better than "third bullet point to ...". Although the indents in 642.3 now have two styles of bullet point instead of roman numeral > letter > roman numeral > squares, so perhaps that does not explain it.
