February’s BSI Update Standards Magazine: testing metals, spotting intruders and securing information

February’s Update Standards magazine is your go-to information source for changes to the standards that affect you and your business.

There are new, revised, and withdrawn standards.  You'll find BS implementations of European standards, new standards started, and standards open to public comment, and lots more.

Nearly 70 pages of up-to-the-minute information, all arranged with an easy-to-use reference index to help you to find any changes to your sector’s standards quickly.

The February highlights include:

Tensile testing of metals. Updated standard.

Tensile testing helps generate a complete profile of a material’s tensile properties. This shows how the material will react when forces are applied. Tensile testing is therefore critical to producing a safe, high-quality product.
To help determine the tensile strength of metallic materials we’ve updated BS EN ISO 6892-1:2019 Metallic materials. Tensile testing - Method of test at room temperature.
This international standard is one of four which cover tensile testing of metallic materials.

Update yourself on the improvements to our video surveillance system code

Are you aiming to operate a secure video surveillance system (VSS) that could be eligible for a police response? If so, BS 8418:2021 Design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of detector-activated video surveillance systems (VSS) code of practice can help you a great deal. This standard sets out recommendations on the design, installation, commissioning, maintenance and operation of detection-activated VSS.

A revised international standard, BS ISO/IEC 27013:2021, aims to help organizations integrate their implementation of an information security management system to BS EN ISO/IEC 27001:2017 and a services management system to BS ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018.

Stay up to date with the way you perform penetrant testing.

Anyone who conducts penetrant testing will benefit from adopting BS EN ISO 3452-1:2021 Non-destructive testing. Penetrant testing. General principles.

This standard is the updated international standard specifying a method of penetrant testing used to detect discontinuities and giving requirements for process and control testing.

This 2021 edition is a complete technical revision of the 2013 standard, undertaken to ensure that the document stays in line with current industry practices.

Finally, new amendment published for BS EN ISO 14971. Medical Devices.

BS EN ISO 14971:2019 has been amended. It contains the revised Annex ZA for the European MDR (EU/2017/745) and Annex ZB for the IVDR (EU/2017/746). There are no changes to the normative requirements of the standard. The previous Annexes ZA, ZB and ZC, which aligned to the EU MDD, AIMD and IVDD respectively, have been removed as the European Medical Devices Directives are no longer applicable.

New built environment monthly webinar – Spring cleaning your product information.

With spring in the air, this free webinar will focus on the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI). We’ll be reminding construction product manufacturers about the “how” and “why” of applying the CCPI to “spring clean” and raise the standard of their product information, as well as introducing BSI Identify, which supports some CCPI requirements.
