British Standards

These are standards which have been produced by the BSI Group which define and specify a particular outcome.

The harmonisation of standards throughout Europe and globally have led to many British standards being replaced by European Standards (EN ¯ European Norms) and International Standards (ISO); these are then incorporated into the subject title.
