Property, Plant and Equipment
This version includes amendments resulting from IFRSs issued up to 31 December 2010.
IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment was issued by the International Accounting Standards
Committee in December 1993. It replaced IAS 16 Accounting for Property, Plant and Equipment

SIC-14 Property, Plant and Equipment—Compensation for the Impairment or Loss of Items
