British Standards Institution - www.bsi-global.com/index.xalter
The UK national standards body. Although government funded, the institution is independent. The BSI
interprets international technical standards for the UK, and also sets its own. For consumer goods, it sets
standards that products should reach (the BS standard), as well as testing products to see that they conform
to that standard (as a result of which the product may be given the BSI kite mark).
