The 2020 generation (BAT 20-001, REN 20-001, AME 20-001) has been superseded and remains available from IRICE as an archive. Only the version in force is authoritative.

How revisions are conducted

Standards carry a dual designation: a public reference by vintage (25.05, 20-001) and an internal version number (V8.0, V7.0) that maintains continuity over fifteen years.

Each revision that changes a requirement follows a documented process: technical work, examination by the scheme committee, a public call for comments, traceable handling of the comments received, then publication of the settled version. The process is described in §8 of the scheme conditions.

Full history

The complete documentary history of the standards, from the first publication in 2010 to the current generation, is published in French: journal des versions. It records, for each version, the date, the scope of the changes and the body that settled them.
