In this episode Matthew and Cindy look at the the issue of gender bias.

Stephanie Eynon from BSI and Deborah Wautier of CEN/CENELEC are their informed and passionate guests.

They speak about the how the standards community is responding to the problem of gender bias by developing gender responsive standards.

And all of this in the context of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe’s ‘Gender Responsive Standards Declaration’. unece.org/gender-responsive-standards-declaration.

In this episode there’s also a My Favourite Standard. This time, Standards Development Manager Lachean Humphreys tells Matthew and Cindy why BS EN 124 for manhole covers is so important to her. And also about a new standards committee on gender equality, for which she is recruiting members.
