This specification is based on the requirements of ISO 9001, with additional specific requirements for cable, and for the BASEC marking scheme. Certification to ISO 9001 is offered at the same time. Only manufacturers of cable and related products are eligible to hold PCR certification. Once PCR certification is held, and specified type testing of products is complete, a License to use the BASEC Mark can be issued. The route to BASEC PCR certification is set out in the PDF document Gaining & Maintaining the BASEC Mark, Step by Step Guide BSF426.

BASEC requires clients to upgrade their certifications to the latest edition of the BASEC PCR in line with BASEC's requirements and published timescales.
