Guidance for Thatcham BSi Kitemark (PAS125)
The new standard for the body repair industry was developed
by an industry group during 2006 in conjunction with Thatcham and BSi.
It has been published as PAS125, and is now known as the Thatcham BSi Kitemark
following its launch in February 2007.
This section is intended to provide you with useful links on the standard.
