British Standards Institution

Sector: Manufacturing

Overview: Under the direction of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee, is responsible for UK input to ISO/TC 61/SC 4 in the field of burning behaviour of plastics and to develop British standards in this field. Also to provide input into the environmental impact of fires involving these materials.
