Given the discussions Piers on here of late, just noticed this on
the Royal Met Soc pages:

"During 2008 the Society undertook a series of consultations on the
idea of introducing a Quality Standard for Weather Service Providers.
Following a positive response from both the provider and the customer
community the Society launched a Pilot Project to look into the
feasibility of introducing such a standard, and at the same time
established a Quality Standard Advisory quality standard Council to
oversee this project."

More details on the above link, apologies if someone has posted
already.
