Terms & Conditions

British Standards are reproduced within this NSI website with the permission of the British Standards Institution (BSI) under License Number 2010ET0009.

By subscribing to this service, you agree to be contacted by NSI for confirmation of payment details, matters regarding your subscription and about NSI's Security, Fire and associated schemes, where applicable. Your contact details may be supplied to BSI upon request or for administration purposes.

Please note: The £124 plus VAT subscription fee entitles you to download and view the Standards from one designated desktop within your organisation. Standards are not printable and must not be saved on an internal or external network or website.  In addition, Standards must not be copied or transferred to any other device (including memory sticks) via an internal system (intranet) to any colleague/associate within or outside your organisation, without prior permission from BSI.

Standards should be downloaded to a desktop that is accessible to a visiting NSI Auditor when they conduct their audits so they can confirm that you have access to the Standards. The Standards will 'time-out' every quarter so you will need to access the standards area to refresh them to ensure you have the most up-to-date versions.

Your subscription will automatically expire at the end of the 12 month period.  NSI will not contact you directly to alert you that your subscription is due to expire, however, a reminder will be placed in the Standards area when you log in.
