How will developing your own custom standard benefits your business?
If you have your own internal way of doing something – a specification, process, code of practice, and so on – and you want to capture it in a rigorous, structured way, a private standard is the ideal solution.
We work with you to create a credible private standard, and you benefit from all the intellectual and professional discipline we bring to the development of the 1,800 British Standards we publish every year. You can use it to train new staff, capture existing knowledge, and ensure consistency.
By collaborating with BSI to develop a credible standard, you not only create a valuable tool to hone your internal processes and products, but also demonstrate to your customers, supply chain partners, or other stakeholders that you aspire to the highest standards and are an expert in your area. It’s quick to develop – a private standard usually takes only four to six months.
Private standards can take many forms, such as specifications, management systems, codes of practice, test methods, and more – wherever you have a particular way of doing things that requires formalizing.
The process of developing the standard will be driven by your needs and priorities, and supported, enhanced, and controlled by our expertise and guidelines to ensure reliability, quality, and credibility. We take your existing in-house standards, review them, and rebuild to internationally recognized levels of quality and rigor.
The resulting standard will help you deliver consistency across the organization, and make cost savings. It will capture knowledge in your organization, formalize it, and share it. It can push your processes so that they are more reliable and advanced than your competitors. It will help you become a leader in your field. You can gain public relation benefits too through co-branding with BSI.
By letting us help you develop the standard, you make sure you don’t end up reinventing the wheel; you benefit from our streamlined processes; you have our expert advice available whenever you need it; and you free up valuable in-house resource to concentrate on your core business.
