Hi
i don't know whether this may help a little but i wrote this for 1.3 which may give you some ideas:
British Standards Institute (BSI) - Provides information and education on safety standards for children, young people, and students. BSI tests everyday items for safety.
When working with children and young people, staff are required to check that items have a BSI Kite mark on them.
Items with a BSI Kite mark means BSI have carried out health and safety checks, tested and confirmed that the product is safe and reliable and meets legal requirements.
BSI ensures that products meet the relevant legal requirements before they can be sold within the EU.
These approved items will have a CE marking which indicates that BSI have tested them against the appropriate standard (BSI Education, 2008). The CE marking is mainly on things such as toys and again must meet legal requirements.
We have standards to make our lives easier, safer and healthier.
Here are a few:
• Standards make sure that all electrical wiring is safe in all equipment that we use in our settting.
• They help to make buildings more accessible to disabled users.
British standards are produced by qualified and experienced people, who come together by BSI. They discuss and agree in detail what will form the new standards.
BSI was the first national standards in the world.
