Artificial intelligence is increasingly influencing both private sector companies and public organisations, creating new possibilities but also significant challenges around responsible implementation.
The DS PAS 2500 guides address these challenges by helping organisations develop the competencies and awareness needed to work with AI systems, focusing on literacy, practical project tools, and the management of ethical issues such as bias.
These specifications reflect developments in European legislation (especially the EU AI Act), and offer actionable advice built on both regulatory guidelines and industry best practices. By using the DS PAS 2500 guides, organisations and professionals gain a solid foundation for advancing in the field of artificial intelligence, making informed decisions and ensuring alignment with both technical and ethical norms.
Disclaimer: The PAS 2500 does not provide organisations with a presumption of conformity for the EU AI Act. Only harmonised CEN-CENELEC standards do. For more information, visit www.jtc21.eu

Provides a checklist to help manage the use of AI in public case management, guiding different roles through each stage of an IT project, supporting compliance with rules and internal policies, but not covering specific laws or transparency in detail.
Provides a method for identifying and managing biases in the design and development of IT systems and processes, including AI and non-AI decision-support systems, to foster transparency and awareness for designers, developers, users, and stakeholders without prescribing normative solutions.
Guidance focused on the knowledge and skills required to successfully implement and use AI, aimed at organisations procuring or deploying AI systems.
