The BSI Kitemark is a quality mark owned and operated by BSI. It is one of the most recognised symbols of quality and safety and offers true value to consumers, businesses and procurement practices.

The Kitemark is not a legal requirement, but is often used as a point of differentiation in competitive markets and is widely trusted.

The initials, ‘B’ and ‘S’ are contained in the genuine Kitemark logo.
