BSI
"Inspiring trust for a more resilient world"
UK national standards body founded 1901; publishes ISO 10218 robot safety standards and provides certification services to 80,000+ clients worldwide.
BSI (British Standards Institution) is the United Kingdom's national standards body, founded in 1901 as the Engineering Standards Committee. Headquartered at Kitemark Court, Davy Avenue, Knowlhill, Milton Keynes, MK5 8PP, BSI operates across more than 67 offices worldwide and employs approximately 5,000 people, generating revenues of around $934 million annually.
In the robotics domain, BSI serves as the UK's representative to ISO/TC 299 (Robotics) and contributes to CEN/TC 310, the European counterpart covering automated systems and robotics. BSI publishes BS EN ISO 10218-1:2025 and BS EN ISO 10218-2:2025, which specify safety requirements for industrial robots and robot cells respectively — among the most widely adopted robotics safety standards globally. BSI also publishes guidance on robotic ethics, addressing hazard identification across the robot lifecycle.
As a certification body, BSI offers conformity assessment services including product certification (Kitemark scheme), management system certification (ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 45001), and testing services. With over 80,000 certified clients across more than 190 countries, BSI is one of the world's largest third-party certification organisations.
While BSI is primarily a standards development and certification body rather than a robotics manufacturer or integrator, its role in defining and certifying compliance with robot safety standards makes it highly relevant to the robotics supply chain. Robot manufacturers and system integrators worldwide rely on BSI-published standards — BS EN ISO 10218, BS EN ISO/TS 15066 for collaborative robots, and related documents — to demonstrate product conformity and gain market access in the UK and EU. BSI's Kitemark certification is also recognised as a trust mark for safe robotic and automated products entering UK commerce.
