“If standards are important to industry - students need to be made aware during their education - finding the appropriate time to fit this into the curriculum is critical. Many of the students I see have a very basic knowledge of industry at all let alone the standards we work to.
The three basic standards I have mentioned should in my opinion form part of the study for anyone wishing an industrial role within manufacturing. This should be made available as part of the course and not an additional cost to the employer once the student has graduated.”

Standards can come from anybody but, for a standard to be accepted, there needs to be a strong evidence of need.
In groups, you are going to come up with ideas for a standard. This could be in the sustainability sector, or you may choose a standard for something you’re passionate or interested about, the choice is yours.
Your group will develop and pitch your idea to a panel of experts. You will have up to 2 minutes to explain your standard and the panel will feedback thoughts on how viable it is.
Will they be in or out?

• What is your idea for the new standard?
• Why is the standard needed and which industries will it be used by?
• Who will use the standard (i.e. job role/function)?
• How important do you think is the creation of the standard?• Essential, Important, Useful, Not Useful
• Is the standard likely to have a public interest benefit (safety; consumer; public policy; promotion of efficiency; interoperability; sustainability etc.)?
• Who do you think should be involved in the development of the standard?
• Are you aware of any organisations who have already expressed support for the standard?
• Are you aware of any existing standards and other good practice information in this area (e.g. Industry codes of practice; company specifications) in the UK?
