CASE STUDY 1 INNOVATION INSIGHTS Author: Fred Cana, Product Manager, Knowledge Labs


Proof of Standards Ownership


The Knowledge Labs team in Knowledge Solutions is using blockchain technology to record single-copy transactions made for clients that have purchased a standard from the BSI Shop.

Clients are required to demonstrate to their customers that they own the copyrighted version of a standard. In order to meet job


qualifications, clients must prove the copyrighted version belongs to the acquiring firm. BSI are providing a valuable solution: an immutable record of this purchase, which can be shared with clients in the knowledge that it is secure and doesn’t compromise any sensitive information on behalf of BSI or the client. To describe this solution in detail; once a client has purchased a Construction or BIM standard from the BSI Shop, they will be sent a receipt in the form of a digital


badge which can be put on websites and within marketing material. When the badge is clicked on, it opens a webpage displaying a message confirming that the standard has been purchased from BSI, alongside publicly available client information such as the company name and country. For BSI, this encourages clients to buy their standards from our Shop. As part of this test, Knowledge Labs are tracking the take-up of these digital badges, as well as trying to learn what value this service brings to the client. The results of this test will inform whether using blockchain technology in this way could be a profitable solution for BSI in the future. l
