British Standards Institution

Sector: Manufacturing

Overview: Under the direction of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee, is responsible for the UK input into: IEC/TC 106, which prepares international standards on measurement and calculation methods to assess human exposure to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields; and CENELEC/TC 106X, which deals with the same area for European standards.
