Standards make our lives easier, safer and healthier. Without them, many everyday actions we take for granted would be unpredictable. Standards help to make many of the products we use safer and more reliable. They are fundamental building blocks of society, representing a common commitment to quality, safety and ethical practice.
Types of standard
Standards come in many forms – they generally define performance characteristics of products, but may also include customer service requirements.
BSI publishes formal standards, such as British Standard specifications and codes of practice, and other publicly available specifications (PAS). For more information, please follow the links on the left.
