External links no longer work
I have done some simple editing - adding links, etc - but find that most of the external links no longer work, due to BSI changing its web site. I do not have time to chase this up - perhaps someone close to BSI could oblige. Patche99z 11:55, 28 September 2007 (UTC).

The References section provides a link to QSU Big Ten listing of registrars. QSU Publishing Company was sold to a private company Apogee Global Resources, Inc. (AGR) in Dec 2007. In May 2008, AGR launched a new company called the Global Quality Exchange (GQEX), which replaced the outdated ISO certification database maintained by QSU. The new GQEX database is directly updated by accredited certification bodies such as BSI, to ensure data accuracy. The "Big Ten" ranking of certification bodies is a trademark of AGR, and is now maintained online by GQEX at www.gqex.net. The link provided by this article should be replaced accordingly.

Links have been fixed
I have done some editing and the external links should all now work. Alkazzi (talk) 12:50, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Replacing BSIgroup as a Primary source
Although Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is also British, the article doesn't have a single reference to "BSI Group" or "British Standards." The wiki article for ICE says "an independent professional association for civil engineers ... Based in London, ... members, of whom three quarters are located in the UK, .. the rest .. 150 other countries."

For some information, it still makes sense to source from BSI, since it will facilitate obtaining updates on counts (some of which seem a bit on the WP:ADVERT side, and the article did carry such a tag for a while). Pi314m (talk) 17:22, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Disputing "never been called that" (Institute)
The NYTimes published in 2018 a sentence beginning
 * "It would use the British Standards Institute (which is recognized in 120 countries) to administer and audit ..."
 * A pair of letters published by the Times in 1990 also used Institute. I had cited one of them.


 * A 24June2019 BSI Group revert summary saying "has never been called that" is the purpose of this Talk page note.
 * An attempted forcing of America's friends across the pond to say "standardiZed" is why I reverted the edit. Pi314m (talk) 05:17, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
