New BS5837 Standards

[Thesnarlingbadger]

Hi all,

 

 I’m carrying out a BS5837 report at the moment and haven’t done one for a while and was just checking weather or not the new standards came in April this year or not.

 

 I know they were planning too but not sure if it is official yet.

 

 If they have does anyone have a link to the e new 2025 standards or know where I can obtain them. 
 

 Thanks in advance people.

I think they are still messing around

Don't hold your breath. There were about 2,500 submitted comments on the draft. Think more in terms of a new version next year or the year after, or possibly a 2nd draft next year.

Not sure if you have to pay for access but if I remember right 'BSI online'  has all the standards

A great irritation is that standards are all behind a paywall.

 

They should be free and openly available to anyone to view. A cost should be charged to any product claiming to meet the standard.

 

Anyone have a copy? 🫣

£200 is not a large amount for referenced professionalism

The cost pays for the development and publication of Standards.

I have used my 5837 Standard for about 800 paid reports. That's 25p a report.

 

The only irritation is that the cost of a Standard is the same whether you use it once or a thousand times. I have the same gripe with AutoCAD. And Adobe. And OS mapping.
