125 years after we were founded, our Kitemark – the symbol that gives people confidence in something’s quality, safety and reliability – can still be seen on products across the globe.
We went from standardizing steel to many of the things that now define everyday life. Plug sockets, seat belts and motorcycle helmets are all safe because of us.
As our role grew to represent the interests of people as well as industry, the value of standards became even clearer.
