Compliance & Certification

Compliance & Certification Compliance to BS 8901 can be claimed by any organisation that is involved in the delivery of events. The organisation needs to have clearly defined its role and the scope of its activities with respect to delivering events.

Evidence needs to be sufficient to demonstrate that the event management system:
  • is an integral part of the event management process and not an additional “add-on” component
  • meets the requirements of the standard
  • has influence throughout the supply chain
  • meets any contractual requirements imposed by contracting organisation with overall responsibility for sustainable event management
Compliance can be verified by the organisation itself (self-declaration) a second party (i.e. stakeholder) or an independent third party (i.e. certification body).

You can claim full or partial compliance with this standard. For example, you can select to have only the planning phase (Phase 1) of the standard verified if you wish to demonstrate that you are working towards the standard prior to the event. This would enable you to promote your success with respect to BS 8901 prior to your event occurring.
