About PAS 2012
A Publicly Available Specification (PAS) is a sponsored fast-track standard driven by the needs of the client organisations and developed according to guidelines set out by BSI. Key stakeholders are brought together to collaboratively produce a BSI-endorsed PAS that has all the functionality of a British Standard for the purposes of creating management systems, product benchmarks and codes of practice. After two years the PAS is reviewed and a decision is made as to whether it should be taken forward to become a formal British Standard.– British Standards Institute
In 2008 WAVCA started working on a new PAS for Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles. This was published on 30 April 2012 and reviewed in 2014.
