MCS Standards are owned by the MCS Foundation and are governed by the MCS Approval Committee. They have the role of overseeing the activities of our Technical Working Groups and are responsible for protecting the integrity and impartiality of MCS Standards.
The MCS Approval Committee, Chaired by our Independent Chair of Standards, David Heath, ensure that any changes to our Standards are properly considered, adhere to governance processes, and depending on the type of change, incorporate feedback from industry and technical experts through public consultation
There are several Technical Working Groups which develop MCS Standards. Many members sit on European committees to develop European Standards. This helps to ensure MCS is up to date and aligns the Scheme with current EN Standards.
We conduct research on industry developments and their potential impact and analyse updates to standards that are referenced in our documents. Our governance processes ensure that any changes have been fairly considered and that any new MCS Standards are carefully developed.
