Scott Steedman CBE Director of Standards, BSI 6 September 2017

24/09/2017 Standards are made by people for people.

BSI as the UK National Standards Body publishes 2,500 and withdraws over 1,000 standards per annum.

This maintains a coherent, consistent body of knowledge for industry, government and the public.

Our role is to be a neutral facilitator for industry experts.

95% of British Standards published each year are international and European.

For BSI, standards are a consensus of what good looks like. BSI is the UK national standards body and is responsible for all national, regional and international standards used in the UK and for maintaining the infrastructure for UK experts to participate in all relevant organisations

All EN and most international (ISO, IEC) standards are adopted as British Standards and conflicting standards are withdrawn. All BSI work must meet the three fundamental WTO principles: • full stakeholder engagement, • open public consultation and • consensus.

National standards work alongside other industry codes and guidance.
