The PAS process

Once the sponsor gives us the go ahead, we provide a dedicated BSI project manager, provide due-diligence research for related standards and other published information to ensure there will be no crossover. 

Typically a PAS steering group includes between 8 and 12 stakeholder experts. With our help, they comment on the draft, resolve technical issues and contribute to the development of the next draft. 

Together with the sponsor, we then formalize the document's scope, and work with technical experts in the steering group to develop a final PAS document.  With our help, they comment on the draft, resolve technical issues and contribute to the development of the drafts.

At the review panel stage, the draft is made available to the public, which means anyone can submit comments for the steering group to consider. Once all comments have been resolved to our satisfaction and that of the steering group, the PAS is published.
