Why is it not possible to find all of the European and international standards that are supposed to be out for public comment on the Draft Review system?
While the Draft Review system holds all of the national standards that are out for public comment, it cannot contain all of the international and European standards at the same stage of development. We therefore select standards that are likely to be of high interest to the UK to upload. This enables BSI to provide as much feedback as possible to the European and international committees regarding those standards. However, it is possible to buy all draft national , European and international standards out for public comment from the BSI shop. Comment and feedback can then be fed back to BSI.
Can I obtain published standards free of charge?
No. However, all of our published standards are available to buy from the BSI shop.
What if I want to contact a member of BSI staff directly to discuss a standard or a proposal for a standard?
