BSI was founded in 1901 and was chartered by the British Royal Authority in 1929 as a world-renowned national standards body and one of the founding members of the International Organization for Standardization.
As a standards development, testing, registration and certification body, BSI developed and published the first commercial standards and created the globally trusted and widely recognised ISO family of management systems, which today are synonymous with standards and are used by more than 500,000 organisations worldwide. The widely used ISO9000, ISO14000, ISO27001 and OHSAS18000 are all derived from BSI's Quality Management System (BS5750), Environmental Management System (BS7750), Information Security Management System (BS7799) and Occupational Health and Safety Management System (BS8800) standards. This unique transformational relationship is the source of BSI's authority on standards development, understanding, interpretation and certification services.
