Re: Scope of desire for change
BS Standards used to be cheap, useful and informative. Since then they seem to get 'updated' involving a trivial change but requiring an up-issue, rendering the previous version out-of-date. Or it is broken down into sub-sections, possibly for understandable reasons, but no reduction in price (As if....). They are not cheap.
Then there are BS EN standards..
Then there are BS EN ISO standards......
Perhaps we need another 'standard' standard.... cue obligatory xkcd: https://xkcd.com/927/
The main thing in favour ISO standards is that they appear to be more difficult too change.
If you want the world to use your standards, make them free, or very cheap.
