Are British standards free?

The standards and PASs (Publicly Available Specifications) covered by this initiative are not limited to general areas but also extend to innovative fields and government-funded projects. This comprehensiveness ensures that the latest developments and requirements are always within reach.

BSI, a renowned organization, provides invaluable access to standards for both consumers and businesses within the UK. This service is offered free of cost, making it accessible to a wide range of stakeholders.

To take advantage of this offering, individuals and enterprises can simply visit their local libraries to gain access to these crucial standards. The process is straightforward and ensures that everyone has equal opportunities to stay informed and compliant.

For those unsure about which libraries offer this service in their vicinity, BSI has made it easy to find out. By visiting their dedicated 'library access to standards' page, users can easily locate the nearest participating libraries.

The free availability of standards and PASs is particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that may not have the resources to purchase them otherwise. It levels the playing field and encourages innovation across all sectors.
