Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In 1992 the British Standards Institution established BS 7750 as a standard for environmental control in the manufacturing and services sector. BS 7750 allows organizations to demonstrate that they meet health and safety regulations, local and national environmental requirements and the latest industry codes of practice. Compliance with the Standard will give considerable protection against claims under product liability and against unjustified charges of negligence.
