The British Standards Institution

Our purpose is to inspire trust for a more resilient world. Our solutions and services improve performance and support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

At BSI, our mission is to share knowledge, innovation and best practice to help people and organizations make excellence a habit. This is  underpinned by our role as the national standards body and through our prestigious Royal Charter.

For more than a century we have been challenging mediocrity and complacency to help embed excellence into the way people and products work. That means showing businesses how to improve performance, reduce risk and achieve sustainable growth.

As a global leader in helping organizations improve, our clients range from high profile brands to small, local companies in 193 countries worldwide.

Established in 1901, BSI is a world-leading national standards body that helps our clients operate in a way that is safer, more secure and more sustainable. Incorporated by Royal Charter, we’re truly impartial, and home to the ultimate mark of trust, the Kitemark.

Our unique combination of consulting, knowledge, assurance and regulatory services makes organizations more resilient, and in turn inspires trust in their products, systems, services, and the world we live in.
