Special SfEP discount for…
BSI proof-correction marks
The British Standards Institution's proof-correction marks are recognised throughout Britain and increasingly around the world. Why reinvent the wheel when you can use something tried and true?
By arrangement with the BSI, the SfEP can now supply copies of its standard for proof-correction marks: BS 5261C: 2005 – Marks for copy preparation and proof correction (extracted from BS 5261-2:2005).
This useful eight-page list of the most up-to-date BSI marks, on laminated card, is an essential tool for all proofreaders and copy-editors. It's particularly recommended to those considering applying for the SfEP course Accreditation in proofreading.
The BSI charges £20.00 for each card. The SfEP charges substantially less:
- SfEP members and associates: £4.00
- Others: £10.00.
That's an 80% discount for SfEP members and associates, and a 50% discount for others.
The BSI cards may be purchased via the SfEP online shop. There is a maximum order of 5 cards per customer.

Important note: it is not possible to order BSI cards via the SfEP online shop to be sent to overseas addresses. Please contact the SfEP Office for the relevant P&P costs and to arrange payment and delivery.
