Overview
About Us
The Water UK Standards Board aims to facilitate innovative industry specifications & guidance that predate or complement BS or EN standards' emergence.
What We Do
The Board coordinates the UK water industry’s involvement, via BSI committees, in the promotion, development & review of BS, EN & ISO standards that affect the industry. It also sponsors WIS & IGN's development where these fill gaps in, or complement, such standards' coverage.
WIS and IGN Library
The Library contains WIS & IGN as PDF files in one of four states (current, draft, archived, archival candidate) for free download. Pay close attention to a document’s caveats.
The Family of Standards
We explain here the respective roles of WIS & IGN relative to British (BS), European (EN) and International (ISO) Standards & when they can, or cannot, co-exist.
