Your proposal will be reviewed by standardization experts
We may contact you if we need clarification
If suitable, your suggestion could be used as the basis for a formal standardization proposal for a British Standard, international or European standard, or Publicly Available Specification (PAS)
If this proposal is accepted, it will go on to be developed by a BSI technical committee and become a published standard.

Please note that not all suggestions become standards or formal standardization proposals.

Before submitting a proposal for a new standard ask yourself the following questions:

Is it a product, service or process that needs to be standardized?
Why is the standard necessary?
For which industry(ies) is it relevant and specifically, who would use the standard?
Which trade associations or industry bodies should be involved in its development?
Are there currently any relevant standards or is there any relevant existing good practice guidance within the industry?
