The BSI Standards are designed to work with the Adobe PDF software, either Acrobat or Reader. However if you are using either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, these browsers contain their own PDF viewers, which are not compatible with opening and downloading the Standards.

ECA has created step-by-step guidance on how to view standards in all web browsers.

1. Log in to www.eca.co.uk
2. Go to My ECA and click BSI Documents - view
3. Click ‘Manage’ (all users can request a receipt by click Receipt: resend)
4. Any members who have multiple web account users will see all web account users in  the Available active users list. To add them they will have a blue button to the right saying Add
5. This will send an email to the colleague you’re adding, as well as to the nominated representative and BSI representative to let them know this colleague has access.
6. You can change the BSI Representative at any point – this needs to be done from either the BSI Representative’s account or the Nominated Representative’s account.
7. You will need to choose someone else on the licence to move this role to – if you do not select someone else the change cannot be completed and the original BSI Representative will remain.
8. You will have the option of removing the user completely from the licence or just removing
   the BSI Representative role from them.
9. Emails will be sent to the user, the Nominated Representative and the new BSI Representative  confirming the changes made.
