Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to help institutions to (a) use Eurocodes and (b) remain a member of the European Committee for Standardization in the event that the UK leaves the EU.

The Structural Eurocodes will remain available as voluntary British Standards after the UK leaves the EU.

The British Standards Institution (BSI) has made clear its preference to remain a member of the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN). We are working with BSI to ensure that the UK’s future relationship with the European Standards Organisations, including CEN, continues to support a productive, open and competitive business environment in the UK.
