We present allowed regions in the space of observables of certain nonlepton
ic B-meson decays that characterize these modes within the standard model.
A future measurement of observables lying significantly outside of these re
gions would indicate the presence of new physics. Making use of SU(3) argum
ents, we give the range for B-->pi K decays. and for the system of B-d-->pi
(+) pi(-), B-s-->K+ K- modes.
