Revision of ISO 20121

We are keen to ensure the standard remains up to date and would like input from UK stakeholders on whether there is now a need to revise it, and what new issues might be covered or requirements enhanced, etc.

We have created a short survey to gather your input and to let us know if you would like to be involved.  Please take the time to complete it or share it as comments will help inform the future direction of the standard.
