ABSTRACT

The information given in this chapter is intended to be of a general nature and specifiers and users should always refer to the latest edition of the relevant National Standard.

Work is continuing at the British Standards Institution on the revision of existing Standards and Codes and the production of new Euro Standards and Codes. It is therefore essential that anyone wishing to incorporate into a contract requirements for compliance with British Standards should ensure that they are still valid and have not been replaced by a Euro Standard. Reference can also be made to BRE Digest 397, September 1994: Standardisation in Support of European Legislation.
