UK and International Standards Development for Quantum Technology

Standards are about a technical community agreeing the best way to make a product or manage a process. When well constructed they can be essential to help particular communities or industries to produce efficient supply chains and drive industry to efficiently produce components and systems. Standards can also provide best practice in how to apply or use specific technologies for a range of applications.

Many quantum technologies are now becoming sufficiently mature that companies and countries are starting to propose the development of standards.

In the UK, standards are led by the British Standards Institute (BSI) and at an international level the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) is the probably the best known of the standards organisations. BSI provides input to all standards being produced by ISO.

This webinar will have speakers from the IET and BSI describing what work is underway to develop both UK and international standards and technical guidance for a range of quantum technologies.

The webinar also aims to inform the community how they can engage with the process to aid the development of useful standards that benefit the whole quantum community.
