## Structure

BS 99 was a Business Continuity Management (BCM) standard published by the British Standards Institution (BSI).

It had two parts;

* Part 1, "BS 99-1:2006 Business Continuity Management. Code of Practice", took the form of general guidance on the processes, principles and terminology recommended for BCM.
* Part 2, "BS 99-2:2007 Specification for Business Continuity Management", specified a set of requirements for implementing, operating and improving a BCM System (BCMS).

## Timelines

The first part of BS 99 (BS 99-1:2006) was published by the British Standards Institution in December 2006. The second part of BS 99 (BS 99-2:2007) was published in November 2007.

BS 99-2 was withdrawn in November 2012 having been replaced by the International Standard, ISO 22301. BS 99-1 was withdrawn in early 2013 having been replaced by ISO 22313.

## Development

Both parts of the standard contributed significantly to the international standards that succeeded then and to the development of other national and international standards (such as ASIS/BSI BCM.01:2010).
