Advanced materials
Advanced materials standards are expected to play a prominent part in the future of many industries, ranging from automotive, aerospace, the built environment and marine, to health. Lighter materials should reduce fuel consumption and emissions in the transport industry, construction materials are expected to be relatively low maintenance, whilst sensors could be incorporated into textiles to monitor physical conditions of the wearer. BSI is working to ensure the advanced material standards are created to help facilitate the uptake of these new materials by industry.
