We are aware that the Prime Minister’s speech last week on Brexit and her intention for the UK’s future relationship with the EU has raised some questions vis-a-vis standards so please find below a link to some additional information. Also, on 10th January, BSI’s Director of Standards, Dr Scott Steedman CBE, appeared before the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee to give evidence on the impact of Brexit on regulation and standards. Please use the link below to view video of the session. Finally, please don't forget that you can send us questions at anytime using the link here below or by directly e-mailing europeanpolicy@bsigroup.com.

Access from Parking at Chiswick
|
|
|
New glass doors have been added between the car park and the underpass to the front entrance to Chiswick Tower. There is an automatic movement sensor to allow visitors and committee members to exit the car park without swiping a card. Upon leaving the building, please speak with security who will either hand you a paper card to exit or will open the glass doors themselves to ensure that you can access the car park.
