British standards
British Standards are official guidelines and specifications that set quality and safety benchmarks for products, services, and systems in the UK. Established by the British Standards Institution (BSI), these standards help ensure consistency, reliability, and safety across various sectors, from construction to healthcare. They promote best practices, facilitate trade, and protect consumers by ensuring products meet certain performance criteria. Compliance with British Standards is often seen as a mark of quality and can enhance trust in products and services.
