Standards Experience exhibition opens
BSI has created The BSI Standards Experience, a new exhibition for the public to explore how consensus standards are made and learn how to participate in shaping standards for the future. The exhibition is situated in the library
of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) at One Great George Street, Westminster. It is free to view and takes visitors on an immersive journey through a series of installations. Visitors can discover the power of human interaction, conversation and collaboration and how consensus is the key to create standards that benefi t individuals, communities and organizations and support governments all over the world. People will be able to follow standards activities and discover how they can become involved in standards making. They will be invited to consider topical issues and to share their views through an app on a wide range of subjects. These include how standards can be used as a tool to address the sustainable development goals, how they safely manage people’s personal data, and what the future of work should look like. Since it was founded by the ICE in 1901 BSI has helped to improve the quality and safety of products, services and systems by enabling the creation of standards and encouraging their use. BSI publishes over 2,700 standards annually following a consensus-based collaborative approach, engaging with industry and
academic experts, government bodies, trade associations, consumers and other representatives to develop best practice standards for use by industry and government.
Scott Steedman, Director-General,
Standards at BSI said: “In BSI’s 120th anniversary year, we warmly welcome visitors to explore the power of consensus in shaping best practice at the Standards Experience at One Great George Street. I am very grateful to the Institution of Civil Engineers, with whom BSI has a long and historic relationship, for the opportunity to create this new public exhibition. The exhibition is open Monday-Friday,
10.00 to 16.00. Find out more about Standards Experience.
