British Standards Institution

Sector: Construction

Overview: Under the direction of B/517, to plan, programme and co-ordinate the package of standards for concrete production and testing and to resource and organize the structure and work necessary to produce and maintain the standards. To provide the UK input into CEN/TC 104/SC 1 and monitor the programme of ISO/TC 71/SC 1 providing input as required.
