Tel: 01638 566461

PAS 125:2011

BSI have now launched the update to the highly successful Publicly Available Specification for vehicle damage repair process, PAS 125:2011. There are now in excess of 800 Bodyshops that have been awarded a Kitemark license since the original PAS 125:2007 was launched, demonstrating the value of this scheme and what it brings to the industry and consumers alike.

In this recent update, PAS 125:2011 addresses the latest technological innovation in the motor industry and best practices within Bodyshops. All of the changes to the PAS were agreed by industry representatives and public comment, to ensure that compliance with the PAS continues to reassure vehicle owners of the quality and safety standards in the vehicle damage repair process.


Currently Licensed Clients (Active)

For our currently active list of clients who are already part of the existing Kitemark scheme ARC Support Services will be updating your PAS processes to bring them in line with the new PAS 125:2011. This will be completed over the coming months and we do not envisage there being any further costs associated with our services other than those which have already been agreed.  

December 2011 - UPDATE  We now have a number of existing clients who have had an unannounced surveillance visit from BSI and have received a positive recommendation for their upgrade from 2007 to 2011 - Give us a call we can help!


Current Clients working towards Kitemark accreditation

Driving positive efficiency through your processes to the full effect 


Bodyshops that achieve the Kitemark are able to differentiate themselves from the competition by displaying a highly recognised consumer mark that stands for trust, safety and reliability1. They can also promote themselves on kitemark.com, a website devoted to helping consumers’ search for Kitemark license holders.

Areas of change in the revised PAS are:

  •  Updating of competent person requirements
  •  Established ratio of competent person to others
  •  Simplification of selection of replacement parts
  •  Redefinition of repair categories and related skills, tools and equipment
