This British Standard gives recommendations for the installation of audio visual (AV) systems and equipment at site survey, design, installation and commissioning stages.

NOTE Information on installing sound systems can be found in BS6259. Information on installing induction loop systems can be found in BS7594.

It does not give recommendations for the training of installation technicians. It does not cover the specification of individual components nor their performance as an installed system.

It is applicable to installations including a significant AV component, such as, but not limited to, computers, projectors, whiteboards, large format displays, monitors, loudspeakers (both wall and ceiling mounted) and light arrays.
