Peter Sissons International Engagement The international engagement team develops and nurtures BSI’s bilateral and multilateral international relationships with key international stakeholders; in line with UK economic priorities and BSI’s strategic objectives. The international engagement team facilitates and deepens BSI’s international relationships with standards development organizations around the world, including other national standards bodies, regional bodies, and industry consortia. These relationships provide opportunities to increase the international use of BSI’s standards to open and expand opportunities for UK companies to trade internationally, for businesses to share best practice and for BSI to support donor-funded international projects; maximising opportunities for the benefit of BSI and its UK stakeholders. A successful example of engagement includes the development of the UK China Standardization Cooperation Commission (SCC) in partnership with the Standardization Administration of China (SAC), which provides a platform to coordinate standardization activity, promote economic and technical cooperation and facilitate bilateral trade. The SCC has developed a framework for the mutual recognition of British and Chinese standards and two working groups focusing on Smart Cities and Civil Nuclear Energy.
