BS 8522 draws heavily upon the original "domestic removals" quality standard BS EN 12522 and also shares some elements with BS EN 14873, the "storage standard". These three standards have all been developed to provide the moving industry with recognised, specific and measurable benchmarks which are relevant to its particular activities, unlike more generic quality standards such as ISO 9001.
