BS 8599-1:2011 is a British standard that was published on 30th June 2011. The standard specifies the minimum level that first aid kits should conform to. It gives guidelines for the correct quantities of plasters, bandages, sterile wipes etc. that should be included in the small, medium, large and travel kits. It also gives guidance on how many kits of which size would be required by an organisation.

Previously first aid kits were manufactured to the recommendations of the British Healthcare Trade Association HSE statutory 1, 10, 20 and 50 person first aid kits. These kits will be withdrawn on 31st December 2011 and kits conforming to the new standard will replace them.
