BS 0. A standard for standards, is the main working document that sets out the principles by which British Standards are developed and published. It was last revised in 2005 and is therefore now due for review. BSI is keen to hear your views on aspects of BS 0 that you feel might need to be reconsidered or changed, and to receive any suggestions as to how best it could be developed. You do not need to be familiar with all it contains, any observations on the processes and policies concerning British Standards will be very welcome.

The current edition of BS 0, currently published in two parts, can be found at:
http://www.bsigroup.com/en/Standards-and-Publications/About-BSI-British-Standards/
How-we-produce-British-Standards/

On the same page you will also find the BSI Guide to standardization and other material relating to the standards development process. You are welcome to comment on these documents also. In all cases your comments can be as broad or as detailed as you wish. This consultation is not intended to replace the formal public comment process, which, if a revision goes ahead, will take place in due course just as for every draft standard. It is intended to help identify themes and major topics which can inform the discussions of the BSI Standards Policy and Strategy Committee (SPSC) when it meets in October to consider the way forward for BS 0.

Observations after the meeting will still be welcome and will be factored into the review process where feasible. They should be addressed to:
