BSI Certification Process
BSI are currently finalising the certification process which both clients and suppliers will need to go through to achieve certification in PAS 2020. Currently it isd expected to be available closer to the end of 2009.
The certification process has been split to apply differently to a client (who will be covering all aspects of the standard) and a supplier (who may only need certification against one of the aspects of the standard.
Full details can be found on the bSI web site
Logos and Kite Marks
At the moment conversations are still ongoing about what logo or, possible kite mark which can be used to show compliance to PAS 2020.
Initial thoughts are that the marks will be different based on whether you are self certifying or have gone through the BSI Certification process.
When details of the final logos and kite marks are available we will publish examples here.
