BS ISO 15312:2018

Comprehensive Standard for Mechanical Systems and Components

BS ISO 15312:2018 is the essential British Standard for the design, manufacture, and use of mechanical systems and components for general use. This comprehensive standard provides detailed technical specifications, guidelines, and requirements to ensure the safety, quality, and compliance of a wide range of mechanical products and assemblies.

Detailed Technical Specifications

BS ISO 15312:2018 covers a broad scope of mechanical systems and components, including but not limited to:

• Shafts and bearings
• Gears and gearboxes
• Clutches and brakes
• Couplings and joints
• Springs and dampers
• Fasteners and fixings
• Seals and gaskets

The standard specifies the technical requirements, design considerations, and test methods for each of these mechanical components, ensuring consistent quality, safety, and performance across the industry.

Compliance and Regulatory Benefits

Adhering to the guidelines and requirements set forth in BS ISO 15312:2018 provides numerous benefits for manufacturers, designers, and users of mechanical systems and components:
