After Aftermarket
29 May 2008
Topics: Automotive, PAS 80, Kitemark®
According to a survey by BSI Product Services carried out at the recent Aftermarket Show, 71 per cent of visitors think that all garages should have a Kitemark® , while over half said they would definitely take their car to a Kitemark® garage, given a choice.
In January, BSI sponsored the TalkShop Arena at the Aftermarket Show (part of Autosport International) in Birmingham. BSI sought to raise the profile of the automotive Kitemark® schemes for garage servicing and vehicle body repair within the automotive industry as well as the general public.
During the event, Quentin Willson, who is currently putting his weight behind the Kitemark® schemes, gave an interview with TalkShop host Steve Deeks. "There are plenty of good garages out there but also there are plenty of bad operators," he commented. "Kitemark® schemes help the general public identify the good ones. The Kitemark® brand, which we all know and trust, tells the consumer that they will get a consistent level of service, cost and general standards. There are lots of good garage schemes, but the Kitemark ® is the mother-brand. You remember it, it's everywhere, it is the one that has endured and that actually means something."

A clear case for carbon neutrality
"Carbon neutral" sounds good on paper, but what does it really mean? Organizations are making claims about carbon neutrality for everything from products to travel, events, projects and buildings. The problem is that no one quite agrees what "carbon neutral" means or how far it extends.
Rising waters: revising PAS 1188
For those living in areas that are prone to flooding, having the right protection resources available is essential. While images of emergency sandbags holding back rivers of water may fill the media, there is a much wider range of products available for flood protection.
OCS, an international facilities services group based in the UK, has achieved triple certification to ISO 9001 Quality management, ISO 14001 Environmental management/ and BS OHSAS 18001 Health and safety management with BSI.
While there was a time when companies would never consider working alongside the competition, today's marketplace demands a more flexible approach. Collaboration is fast becoming par for the course. For example, large government contracts often require expertise that goes far beyond any one company's capacity to deliver. Forming a consortium brings together the right experience in the right place, and it can mean the difference between winning or losing a tender.
Question: Can standards really help minimize the need for regulation?
Regulation and legislation keep business on a level playing field and help mitigate against risk, as was acknowledged by The Hampton Review in 2005.
