When you see a list like those above, you may be confused by the fact that both an ISO 105-B02 and a BS EN ISO 105-B02 were released last quarter.  The ISO document is the International Source document and the BS EN ISO is the Official English Language Edition of the European adoption of that ISO standard.  If you would like an in-depth discussion of these multiple publications, please see my StandardsForum.com Blog, "What is the difference between an ISO, EN ISO, and BS EN ISO Standard?"  My readers tell me that this is a very helpful article on the subject!
