Default Re: British standards

My girlfriend used to work for BS, She was working on the glass section and you would be amazed how many people would ring up checking the BS number on their double glazing to check that it was legal. Companys have to pay a yearly fee for the priviledge and the testing is stringent. The company she now works for is BS registered and they visit every year to check on health and safety. Just to finish of when visiting the tile show I was given a thing to hang round my neck with my badge on it, She made a comment that BS would,nt of allowed that because it would,nt break if it snagged or caught on something because it was around my neck.
