EU Legislative Interests
As a member of the European Standards Organizations, CEN, CENELEC and ETSI, BSI has a significant interest in all harmonized legislation supported by the technical standards developed within these ESOs. Although these are EU regulations, certain regulations, such as Regulation 1025, affect BSI in the same way as all other National Standards Bodies, as we are required to implement and comply with them by virtue of our membership in the European Standards Organizations. Regulation 1049 is also of interest.
