I have today attended the second Panel meeting as the Panel Convenor for the creation of the British standard for Audio visual installations. It’s good to be working with BSI on this and I hope we can produce a standard which the industry feel they want to willingly adopt. My feeling is that this will furthermore ensure we maintain our reputation of being a high quality niche and hybrid technology industry vertical in which manufacturers trust to deliver a quality route to market channel for innovative technologies across AV including video, voice and data.
A British standard could indeed lead to a city & guilds qualification for our industry too, which personally I feel would benefit us all as company owners and employers.
