Acknowledgement is given to the following organizations that have assisted with the development of this specification by nominating and supporting experts to undertake the necessary research and drafting.
A Publicly Available Specification (PAS) is a sponsored fast-track standard driven by the needs of the client organizations and developed according to guidelines set out by BSI. Key stakeholders are brought together to collaboratively produce a BSI-endorsed PAS that has all the functionality of a British Standard for the purposes of creating management systems, product benchmarks and codes of practice. After two years, the PAS is reviewed and a decision is made as to whether it should be taken forward to become a formal British Standard.
A wide range of PAS documents are available to buy in the BSI Shop, many as instant downloads. Some are available free.
