What is BS 99001 - Quality management systems in the built environment about?

Quality failings in the built environment sector have raised some fundamental concerns. BS 99001:2022 tackles these by providing additional requirements to those in the generic quality management system standard BS EN ISO 9001:2015.

BS 99001:2022 has been developed using the identical clause structure to BS EN ISO 9001, allowing the new Built Environment sector specific requirements in BS 99001:2022 to be implemented alongside those in the generic QMS standard.

If you already have a copy of BS EN ISO 9001, then you can simply purchase your copy of BS 99001:2022 to use alongside it. Alternatively, you can purchase PD 99001 - a single document containing all the clauses of BS EN ISO 9001 followed in turn by the respective clause content from BS 99001:2022.
