Bs 8516

[David oakman]

Do any of you know when the BS 8516 comes out. I wonder if it will change much from the draft copy.

[David Humphries]

I'm under the impression, that it's on hold.

Apparently, all will be revealed soon. At the mo' tho' as the simian indicates - it's on the metaphorical shelf getting dusty.

Many thanks david and tony:001_smile:

the document is currently bouncing arround at BSI, being peior reviewed following a major re working, it is not dead yet nor is it residing on a shelf but if any of you haveever had anything to do with the workings of bsi you will know that it takes a long long time.

 

i think one of the issues was it was felt to be too perscripotive and thus was being woolied up a bit

 

hope that helps

 

cheers

It may be released as a 'Draft for Development' - like a normal standard to use for guidance but open for an indefinite period of time for constant feedback to the commitee.
