Welcome to the BSI British Standards Draft Review system

The Draft Review system gives the public an easy way to access drafts of British Standards (Drafts for Public Comment – DPC) and Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) in order to give us feedback before full publication.

Draft standards documents are circulated for public comment in order to get feedback from as wide an audience as possible. The DPC stage occurs during drafting in national, European and international arenas and is an important part of the standards development process. Only national standards are available through this review system at this time.
