PAS 180 Smart city terminology
To help build a strong foundation for future standardization and good practices, PAS 180 provides industry-agreed understanding of smart city terms and definitions to be used in the UK.
PAS 180 will help to improve communication and understanding of smart cities by providing a common language for developers, designers, manufacturers and clients. This will help industry to work more efficiently and effectively, as well as help reduce the chances of confusion in the supply chain.
The PAS defines terms for smart cities, including smart city concepts across different infrastructure and systems’ elements and used across all service delivery channels. It covers materials, processes, methodologies and applications. The PAS is intended for city authorities and planners, buyers of smart city services and solutions, as well as product and service providers.
PAS 180 is available for free download.
What is a PAS?
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.
In not more than two years from the date of publication;a PAS is reviewed to determine whether amendment or revision is required or whether it should be considered for conversion to a formal British Standard.
A wide range of PAS documents are available to buy here in the BSI Shop, many as instant downloads. Some are available free.
