Technical groups
Ensuring our standards meet the needs of UK industry
Our technical groups bring together experts from many companies, from retailers, hospitals and foodservice operators and their suppliers, to service providers and their customers. Their aim is to ensure our standards meet the needs of UK industry, by representing our members' interests in our Global Standards Management Process (GSMP).
Each group has a clearly defined scope and agreed objectives – working for the benefit of the whole industry.
Key aims include:
- Reviewing new or proposed global standards and developing the UK response
- Developing support materials to help our standards gain industry-wide adoption
