BSI Group currently has over 27,000 active standards. The standards produced are titled British Standard XXXX:YYYY where XXXX is the number of the standard, P is the number of the part of the standard (where the standard is split into multiple parts) and YYYY is the year in which the standard came into effect. It is the technical committees that, formally, approve a British Standard, which is then presented to the secretary of the supervisory sector board for endorsement of the fact that the technical committee has indeed completed a task for which it was constituted. Each sector board, in turn, constitutes several technical committees. The Standards Board does little apart from setting up sector boards (a sector in BSI parlance being a field of standardization such as ICT, quality, agriculture, manufacturing, or fire). The governing board of BSI establishes a Standards Board. The BSI Group as a whole does not produce British Standards, as standards work within the BSI is decentralized. Over time the standards developed to cover many aspects of tangible engineering, and then engineering methodologies including quality systems, safety and security. BSI Group began in 1901 as the Engineering Standards Committee, led by James Mansergh, to standardize the number and type of steel sections, in order to make British manufacturers more efficient and competitive.
