Introduction
Standards are an agreed way of doing something. They are documents which contain technical specifications or other precise criteria, which are designed to be used consistently as a rule, guideline or definition. Consequently, standards ensure the quality and consistency of products and services and allow consumers to have confidence that their products are safe, reliable and of a good quality.
This booklet looks to provide the following information in relation to standards and the MTA’s engagement with them:
• An overview of the standards update process.
• A summary of the BSI standard committees that the MTA is engaged with.
• A list of the standards that are being updated under each committee.
Please be aware this is the December 2024 updated booklet and the next update would be sent in March 2025.
If you are interested in participating in any of the committees listed in the booklet, would like to find out any information about any of the standards being updated, or have a suggestion on a technical area we should look to cover in a committee coverage please get in touch the MTA Technical team (contact details on final page).
Furthermore, all full members of the MTA are entitled to have access to the MTA BSI standards collection. This access allows MTA members to view a number of standards, as chosen by industry, at no cost. To access this collection please register on the BSI website (bsol.bsigroup.com) and get in touch for your access code.
