Aged Standards - Materials Technology Sector Standards Proposed for Reconfirmation

Closes 24 Oct 2025

Opened 12 Sep 2025

Overview

The publications listed at the below link have been reviewed by the relevant active technical committee (and other stakeholders where appropriate) and subsequently endorsed to be "reconfirmed" as they are valid, technically correct and reflective of current practice.

To support your review, we’ve made the full text of each standard available on our website for the duration of the consultation. This gives you full access to the documents and context needed to provide informed feedback.

By clicking on the designation of a standard in the list below, you’ll be taken to a new page in our webshop where you can view the full details of the standard.
