ERRATA SHEETS

An errata sheet lists errors that were discovered too late in the production process to correct in the book. Errata sheets are used to correct only critical substantive errors, not minor typographical errors.

In a code or standard, an errata sheet consists of the following elements in this order:

  1. the words "Errata to”

  2. designator of the code or standard being corrected

  3. edition year

  4. title of the code or standard

  5. description of the correction being made

  6. reproduction of the figure, table, or section of text being corrected

  7. copyright publisher’s name and address

  8. date of issuance (month and year only)

  9. bar code

  10. book number

See Sample.
