11 Over 110 years of standards-making at BSI Products Beginning in 1901, the first standards focused on product specifications to harmonize and facilitate commerce and reduce duplication. These are still the most numerous standards, including: Steel specifications Construction Agricultural commodities Consumer and electrical products Personal safety equipment Medical devices Business processes The next generation of standards focused on business processes to ensure consistent quality output. BSI shaped forerunner standards for: Quality management (ISO 9001) Information security (ISO/IEC 27001) Environment management (ISO 14001) Occupational health and safety (OHSAS 18001, will become ISO 45001) IT service management (ISO/IEC ) Business continuity (ISO 22301) Sustainable events (ISO 20121) Business potential The new generation of standards is centred around people behaviour and values to help organizations realize potential and protect their corporate reputation. Key standards include: Anti-bribery management system (BS 10500, will become ISO 37001) Corporate social responsibility guidance (ISO 26001) Collaborative business relationships (BS 11000, will become ISO 11000) 11

16 Scope and method of work: CEN/TC 454 Algae and algae products Specification, classification, terminology and determination methods for algae (genera) and algae-based products immediately derived from or used in algae production processes. In addition, guidance on the specific application of algae products as feedstock or intermediates for energy and non-energy products may be developed. Where specific standards for properties (quality or determination) of such feedstock for a certain industry exist, these will be referenced and considered as beyond the scope of the committee. For the purpose of this committee algae and algae-based products (and their intermediates) are defined as algal biomass, algae extracts or purified compounds from algae, including photoautotrophic, autotrophic, mixotrophic and heterotrophic algae, produced in open cultivation systems, as for example raceway ponds, lagoons and natural environment, and produced in closed systems, as for example photobioreactors, fermenters and other systems." 16

22 Standards-making 22

23 The Standards Making Process My idea is Anyone can suggest an idea for a new standard (a proposal for work) Public involvement All ideas for new standards are assessed Public involvement If approved then a project is created Once the document passes final approval it is published Public involvement National standards are reviewed every 5 years. The committee decide whether the standard needs to be withdrawn, confirmed or reconfirmed, amended or revised. The committee drafts the standard The updated draft is issued for final approval The committee considers the comments The draft is then issued for enquiry Public involvement 23
