It was prepared by Subcommittee SDS/1/6, Responsible sourcing of construction products, under the authority of Technical Committe

7、e SDS/1, Sustainability. A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.Relationship with other publicationsThis standard is a “daughter” standard of BS 8900, Guidance for managing sustainable development. As such, this standard has been written in

8、such a way as to reflect the spirit of BS 8900, and the principles described in the standard are designed to be compatible with BS 8900.However, whereas BS 8900 has the broadest application to organizations (and individuals) and is independent of the nature of their activities, this standard focuses

9、 more specifically on bodies that certify construction products.Certification scheme accreditationUsers of this British Standard are advised to consider the desirability of accreditation of certification schemes in conformity with this British Standard. Presentational conventionsThe provisions of th

10、is standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Its requirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is “shall”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented in smaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.Contractual a

12、tandard provides a framework for the development of sector certification schemes for responsible sourcing of construction products. It does so in alignment with the guidance given in BS 8900, Guidance for managing sustainable development.The relationship between the standard, any sector certificatio

13、n schemes developed in conformity with it and the organizations likely to be involved is shown in Figure 1. Note that, although accreditation of certification schemes is desirable, accreditation is not and cannot be a requirement of this standard.Figure 1 Overview of the relationships between BS 890

The schedul

28、e(s) shall be freely and publicly available.The development of the schedule shall involve a process of stakeholder identification (4.4) and engagement (4.5), with a defined policy for responsible sourcing (4.6), from which relevant issues and objectives are identified with realistic but challenging

29、targets (4.7), which in turn are translated into requirements for organizations participating in the scheme (4.8).The sector scheme council shall review the schedule at least biennially to ensure continuous improvement against relevant issues, and shall ensure continuous improvement against sustaina

30、ble development principles (4.9).The sector scheme council shall ensure regular and relevant public reporting of the sector certification scheme and its activities (4.10).4.2 Sector scheme council A sector scheme council shall be established to develop, manage and progress the sector certification s

31、cheme. The sector scheme council shall:a) have balanced representation of the types of organization for whom the scheme has been established, ensuring that no single interest predominates, and including both producers and clients, both within and external to the sector supply chain (e.g. procurers,

32、specifiers and contractors);NOTE A sector scheme council may also include other stakeholders (see 4.4 and 4.5).BS 8902:20094 BSI 2009BRITISH STANDARDb) identify the management (committee, group or person) which shall have overall responsibility for:1) performance of testing, inspection, evaluation a

33、nd certification as defined in this standard;2) formulation of policy matters relating to the operation of the sector certification scheme;3) supervision of the finances of the sector certification scheme;4) delegation of authority to committees or individuals as required to undertake defined activi

The schedule shall clearly state where the authority for certification rests and detail the procedures involved. Certification shall be undertaken either directly by the sector scheme council or by external certi

37、fication bodies appointed by the sector scheme council.Certification shall be open to all organizations within the scope of the scheme.NOTE In the UK, certification bodies are accredited by UKAS as being competent to operate particular scheme schedules in compliance with relevant British Standards.

38、Outside the UK it is advisable to obtain similar or equivalent accreditation.4.4 Stakeholder identificationThe sector scheme council shall define and identify stakeholders and their representative organizations. This process shall firstly identify the different stakeholders and secondly clarify thei

39、r interest and relationship with the sector.Stakeholders shall include those essential to an organization for it to perform its activities, e.g. specific employees, customers/clients and suppliers of goods or services. NOTE 1 Other stakeholders have a relationship with the organization that is more

40、strategic in its nature, e.g. special interest groups and government agencies.Stakeholders shall be selected as specific to the scale, nature, spatial and temporal aspects of activities. In particular, they shall include those impacted by the activities of the sector.NOTE 2 Those individuals who are

41、 identifying the stakeholders in the activity will differ in their view on whom to include as a stakeholder. This is dependent upon aspects such as their role within the sector, their knowledge, experience and commercial interests.BRITISH STANDARD BSI 2009 5BS 8902:2009NOTE 3 The precision with whic

42、h stakeholder identification is carried out will have a considerable effect upon the ability of an organization to engage and develop relationships.

43、e accountability for its decisions.4.5 Stakeholder engagementThe sector scheme council shall establish and maintain a process of stakeholder identification and engagement to establish and review the sector schemes responsible sourcing issues, objectives, targets (4.7) and schedule(s) (4.8).

The aim at all times shall be to develop trust between the sector scheme and its stakeholders. NOTE 1 Trust is developed through a combination of performance

46、 and transparency and is, therefore, a test of the integrity of the sector scheme. The sector scheme council shall take full accountability for the decisions that it makes. The sector scheme council shall ensure a continual process of stakeholder engagement. There shall be a cycle of dialogue and fe

47、edback between the sector scheme and its stakeholders. The sector scheme council shall, through feedback, enable stakeholders to understand how the scheme has responded to their views.NOTE 2 Meaningful engagement with stakeholders is not simply an isolated activity; it is a decision-making method th

48、at can involve a degree of cultural and procedural change within the sector scheme.NOTE 3 Further guidance is given in BS 8900. 4.6 Sector scheme policyThe sector scheme council shall draft and approve a policy, describing its commitment to the principles of sustainable development and to promote th

49、ose principles in scheme activities.4.7 Establishing responsible sourcing issues, objectives and targetsThe sector scheme council shall consider each of the issues listed in Table 1 and identify the relevance of each to the sector under consideration.
