I currently have a Kitemark to BS 5713. What do I do now?
You will need to have your units tested to the new Standard. As the holder of the Kitemark, you will already have received a letter from BSI explaining the new arrangements. You will also need to modify your scheme protocol to bring it into line with Part 6 of EN 1279 – BSI will supply you with the relevant documents. You will be able to retain your Kitemark to show that your product has been assessed independently to the Standard. However, care must be taken with your labelling to avoid confusion.
