Redlined documents

For some documents on the Beuth webshop, a „redlined“ version can be downloaded.

A redlined document shows all changes made to the previous edition. These changes are shown in red (or another colour). Redlined documents are PDF files.

What is a „redlined“ document?

• The main difference between a redlined document and the original is that the changes to the previous edition are clearly indicated, as in the „track changes“ mode.
• Redlined versions help users compare a new standard with its predecessor. They are not intended to be used alone.
• Only the original document can be used for reference or as evidence in cases of doubt or for certification purposes. And original documents are much easier to read!
• All changes to the previous edition are clearly marked in the text. Redlined documents make it easy to compare two editions of a standard.
• Redlined documents are electronically generated by automatically comparing the two documents. No editorial changes are made.

Prices and conditions

• Redlined documents are only sold together with the original document. They are only available as downloads.
