What is the BSI?

What is the BSI?

• A. A national body formed to agree on set standards for a wide range of tasks; this can be represented by the BSI Kitemark
• B. A European regulatory agency
• C. An international lab testing service
• D. A private materials supplier

Answer: (A)

BSI stands for British Standards Institution. It is the national standards body in the UK that develops and agrees on standards for a wide range of products, services, and management systems. The BSI Kitemark is a certification mark showing that a product or service has been independently tested and meets those standards. So the BSI isn’t a European regulator, an international lab, or a private supplier—it's the UK organization that sets standards and also certifies and tests compliance to those standards.
