Developing standards

If the standard you want does not exist yet, we can help you create it. This can be a British Standard to meet an industry need, a PAS to fulfil an immediate market need or your own private standard which will improve and formalise your internal processes. 

Get involved with standards

There are many ways you can get involved from commenting on draft standards to becoming a consumer representative. Industry experts help us to develop and publish British Standards and books, gaining priceless knowledge, contacts, and recognition by compliance. Interested in joining us?

Know what you want to get hold of? You can purchase any current British Standard at the BSI Shop, as a PDF download or hard copy. You will also find much more here, including books and CDs explaining key standards, and how to license standards.

Get instant access to a vast array of standards, and discover quicker and easier ways to work with them.

Our expert tutors bring alive the practical benefits that standards offer and make a permanent difference to your business practices. We have designed our courses for organisations of all sizes. They include public courses, in-company (in-house/onsite) training, and distance learning.

If you need training tailored to suit your specific needs, we will design it for you and deliver it at your premises, saving you the disruption and cost of travelling elsewhere.

We will check and test the quality of your practices, just as we already do for thousands of clients in over 150 countries worldwide. With more full-time assessors than any other certification body, we are one of the largest and most experienced certification bodies you could find.

To experience real, long-term benefits, you need to make compliance with a standard a deeply embedded habit. Our software tools equip you to monitor and audit what is happening across your organisation, so you can drive continual improvement.

Whatever stage of development you are at, we can test your products. From research and development, pre-production, prototype, batch and audit, to full compliance testing, we have one of the widest testing and certification capabilities in the world.  

Just how secure is your supply chain – and what damage could it do your business if it broke down? We can help you identify the risks in your supply chain, and show you how to mitigate them.

We have been assuring safety and quality for manufacturers for many years. We provide rigorous quality management reviews and product certifications in more than 50 countries.

We have worked in more than 50 countries to deliver technical assistance projects. The projects support their quality infrastructure systems and help them to compete and trade in global markets. 

Our extensive range of conferences, seminars, workshops, forums, product launches and exhibitions – many of which are free – help you stay up to date with the latest standards.
