Why I am a standards-maker | Victoria Hurth
Standards affect all of us every day, wherever we go, whatever we do.
By defining good practice, they help people and organizations to do things better. For all sorts of things, from nanotechnology to Net Zero guidance.
And these standards are made by standards-makers – tens of thousands of people from around the world - who get together to agree good practice to the way things are made and done. All helping to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable.
In this episode, Matthew speaks to Dr Victoria Hurth, an award-winning standards-maker in the field of organizational governance.
With some passion, Victoria describes her motivations for getting and staying involved in standards, the impact standards-making has had on her career, and her proudest standard-making moments.

FROM THE ARCHIVE | Standards and potholes
FROM THE ARCHIVE | Standards and potholes
People can get passionate about potholes. They are a persistent problem for all road users and can cause personal injuries and damage to vehicles.
In this episode, Matthew speaks to standards-makers Ian Walsh and Dominic Gardner, and BSI’s Gavin Jones, about the issue of standards and road surfacing.
They discuss the standard BS 10947 for spray injection patching in particular, and how new technologies can be incorporated into standards.
But mostly, it’s about potholes.

Customer Reviews
Edpod BSI series
Have enjoyed this series of edpods immensely - highly entertaining and there is obvious skill in making the highly technical standards content interesting to all, not just the technicians.
Very insightful
This podcast is my go-to listen on my commutes and it’s great! Interesting and varied topics on issues affecting us all. Would highly recommend.
Really useful and interesting - listen with a notepad!
I usually listen to this driving but have had to pull over now a couple of times to text myself to re-listen with a notepad handy.
I enjoy the breadth of the subjects and how much can be learned from totally unrelated industries that is useful in my own.
The presenters are professionals at keeping what could be a dry subject entertaining and chatty.
Well worth a listen. If you are totally new the podcast I highly recommend starting with the episode Letters From America.
