Pre Press Functional Analysis

This project will review the standards for specific job roles and functions associated with Pre Press operations.

Does this appear to cover all aspects of the industries? Click on a feedback button above to indicate you are happy with the coverage or to leave a comment about anything you think is missing.

To comment on the individual standards, click on each title that is of interest. This will take you to the draft content of the standard. Once there you can

• give a general response to the draft by clicking on one of the buttons at the top to
  • indicate the standard is not relevant to you
  • tell us you’re happy with the draft as it is
  • make a comment about the draft as a whole

Some of these drafts are drawn from other sources (identified by ‘Signposted’ in brackets after the title) and only general responses can be given to these drafts.

For other, new draft standards you will also be able to:

• comment on the content of each draft. Just hover your mouse over part of the text. A pop-up box will invite you to comment on or edit the text – just click on your preferred link.
  
  

To help us gather comprehensive feedback we would appreciate it if you could take the time to give in-depth comments on at least three of the new NOS.

When you’ve finished just click on the ‘Return to previous page’ button at the top left of the page. This will take you back here.

Please do not use the back button on your browser.

Once you have made all your comments on these standards click on the button at the bottom right of this page.
