BS 1852

Overview
The British standard BS 1852 and its replacement, BS EN 60062, comprises a colour code for fixed resistor
Resistor
|- align = "center"||width = "25"|| |- align = "center"||| Potentiometer|- align = "center"| || |- align = "top"| Resistor|| Variable
resistor|- align = "center"||width = "25"|| |- align = "center"||| Potentiometer|- align = "center"...

s; letter and digit code for resistance (R for ohms, M for megohms, and K for kilohms) and capacitance values; letter code for resistance and capacitance tolerances and a date code for capacitors and resistors.
