Royal Charter

Royal Charter
Royal Charters are granted by the Sovereign on the advice of the Privy Council. Originally, a Royal
Charter was the only way to incorporate a company. Today, new Charters are normally reserved for
bodies that work in the public interest (such as professional institutions and charities) and which
demonstrate pre-eminence, stability and permanence in their particular field.*
• No conventional ‘ownership’
• No governmental influence (but close collaboration with BIS)
• Governance assured by strong Board of Directors

BSI – post Brexit
Currently, membership of the single market is conditional upon states accepting free movement of labour, one of the EU's founding principles.
Chancellor of the exchequer Philip Hammond is believed to be ready to give up access to the single market to satisfy voter concerns about immigration, according to reports.
22
BIS – Standards policy on UK leaving the EU
Following the result of the UK referendum and changes in government, BSI as the UK National Standards Body has been working with its’ stakeholders to communicate the key messages about the vital role of standards in supporting trade, growth and productivity.
The expected triggering of Article 50 is by March 2017 will start a transition period lasting some years while the UK government negotiates the arrangements for its withdrawal from the EU and its future terms of trade with Europe and the rest of the world.
Below is an explanation of how this affects the different roles of the National Standards Body.
23
At National level
BSI will continue to develop and publish British Standards.
No changes are anticipated to it’s activity in this area.
24
At European level CEN and CENELEC are private organizations outside the EU coordinating the work of 33 countries in the making and dissemination of European Standards (EN).
Membership of CEN and CENELEC is linked to the adoption of European Standards and the withdrawal of conflicting national standards, facilitating market access across the member countries.
It is BSI’s ambition on behalf of UK stakeholders for the UK to continue to participate in the European standards system as a full member of CEN and CENELEC post-‘Brexit’.
This would bring maximum benefit to the UK economy and society in its new status outside the EU, as reciprocity of market access with European countries and the maintenance of a unified domestic market structure across the UK facilitates trade and reduces complexity for SMEs and consumers, ultimately saving time, money and effort while ensuring product quality and safety.
25
What are standards and why are they important for industry? Standards are effectively a body of knowledge, available to all, that helps build trust and deliver aspirational performance of goods or services.
They support trade, interoperability, quality, performance, innovation and market access. Standards may describe good business practices, set out guidance or document technical specifications.
They facilitate business-to business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions around the world.
European standards help businesses and industry trade more easily within the European Single Market.
26
The single standard model that underpins the European Single Market (1of3)
Standards are developed by industry experts with the involvement of other interested parties (such as societal organizations, academics and regulators).
A formal consensus process is used that includes open public scrutiny.
Standards are also maintained through a formal committee structure independent of government, commercial or societal interests.
Compliance with a standard is up to the market:
27
The single standard model that underpins the European Single Market (2of3)
The single standard model supports the European Single Market as it means that there is only one standard in use across all the countries of the single market on any given issue.
The model is favoured by industry because it reduces the number of standards that an enterprise may have to consider in order to trade across borders.
It also reduces cost and increases choice for consumers by making it easier for goods and services to be traded. Businesses gain the benefits of market-driven good practice developed by broad communities of experts through robust and open standardization processes.
28
The single standard model that underpins the European Single Market (3of3)
Around 25 per cent of European standards are developed following a European Commission (EC) request, and the resulting standards support public policy in a variety of ways.
The majority of these standards specifically respond to harmonized regulatory requirements across the single market.
The 75 per cent of European standards that are not developed to meet European Commission requests meet other market needs and include test methods, terminologies, specifications for products and services, business process standards and guidance on good practice.
29
Withdrawal of conflicting standards – a fundamental principle (1 of 2)
CEN and CENELEC rules require that when work is started on a European standard, a ‘standstill’ procedure applies and members cannot start or continue national work on the same subject.
Once a European standard is published, CEN and CENELEC members are required to implement the European standard as a national standard and withdraw any pre-existing standards that conflict with the new European standard.
National standards development has to be reported at least annually by each NSB under the European Union Regulation (EU) No. 1025/2012 on European standardization to provide transparency on the national work programmes.
In the case of harmonized standards, standstill and withdrawal have regulatory force.
30
Withdrawal of conflicting standards – a fundamental principle (2 of 2) The UK currently has just over 7 per cent of votes at the main stages of the development process of each CEN and CENELEC standard.
31
What is the European Single Market?
The European Single Market comprises the 28 Member States of the EU, with over 500 million consumers, plus the four members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA): Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and, through bilateral agreements, Switzerland.
The influence of the European Single Market is further extended by the customs union with Turkey; EU accession negotiations with Albania, FYROM, Montenegro and Serbia; and negotiations with other countries under the European neighbourhood policy.
32
What benefits do European standards bring to the European Single Market?
The European Single Market is fundamental to the ‘four freedoms’ of the EU Treaty: freedom of movement of people, goods, services and capital.
It involves the removal of tariff and non-tariff (‘technical’) barriers to trade (known as TBT).
33
How are these benefits delivered?
The single market is delivered through regulatory and voluntary measures at European and national level, primarily through either mutual recognition or a process of harmonization.
34
Harmonization in the European Single Market
Old approach legislation, e.g. cars, food, fertilizers. REACH
New Approach or New Legislative Framework: voluntary standards for products, services,
Mixed approach legislation, e.g. CPR, eco-design, cosmetics.
Minimum harmonization e.g. General Product Safety Directive (GPSD) European Standards
Non-harmonized area: national regulation (usually) subject to mutual recognition. This is the default condition in the absence of other legislative approaches to the use of standards.
35
What would be the impact of a UK exit from the EU in terms of UK participation in the European standardization system?
How a possible UK exit from the EU would affect UK participation in the European standardization system.
It is reasonable to assume that there would be an urgent re-negotiation of trade agreements with both the EU and other countries.
There would be a number of impacts on BSI in its role as the UK NSB, most importantly on its role to represent UK interests in the development and use of standards by business and industry for trade, interoperability, quality, performance, innovation and market access.
Clearly the precise impacts would depend on a range of political choices that would be made by HMG, some of them in conjunction with the EU and/or EFTA countries.
36
What would be the impact of UK exit from the EU on the UK memberships of CEN, CENELEC, ETSI, ISO and IEC?
37
General impacts on standardization in the UK of EU exit
It is possible that the UK’s standing and influence in the regional and international standardization organizations would decline in the event that the UK left the EU.
38
European standards provide a means for business and industry to trade more easily within the European Single Market.
They are developed through a consensus process by industry experts and all the other stakeholders likely to be affected by the standards.
Standards are maintained for as long as the market needs them through a formal committee structure managed by the national members of CEN and CENELEC.
This process is independent of government, commercial or societal interests.
