Scope
At present in the UK, we have two standards that are based on the original parts 2 and 3 of BS 22475 derived from ISO/TS 22475-2 & 3. These international documents have subsequently been revised with parts 2 and 3 having become ISO/TS 24283 parts 1, 2 and 3.
This proposed new standard will draw upon the information in ISO/TS 24283 part 2, but in addition will draw upon UK industry best practice in relation to the assessment of conformity of enterprises and personnel by third parties.
Purpose
In the UK, the ground is the highest risk for structures and land contamination and costs UK PLC billions in conservative design and advice. It is essential to improve the quality of the Ground Investigation services industry and ensuring that the personnel involved are competent will underpin quality and reliability in the work which will reduce costs and increase sustainable solutions. This revised and updated standard aims to achieve this by providing a structure for conformity assessment of enterprises and personnel by third party
