The British Standards Institution (BSI) is the UK's national standards body. It produces technical standards on a wide range of products and services and also supplies certification and standards-related services to businesses. Formed in 1901, BSI was the world's first national standards body[1].
Purpose[1]
The purpose of BSI is to inspire trust for a more resilient world. Their solutions and services improve performance and support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

BSI also represents UK interests at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Electrochemical Commission (IEC) and the European Standards Organisations (CEN, CENELEC and ETSI).
BSI Kitemark[1]
The BSI kitemark was first registered by BSI on 12 June 1903 - the same year in which Harley Davidson, Crayola crayons and the Tour de France were born. Originally known as the Brisitsh Standard Mark, it has grown into one of Britain's most important and recognised consumer quality marks.
