Standards
The British Standards are used to standardise the test methods used in the UK upon which the building regulations are based. They will be superseded in 2011 by the Eurocodes, although there will be a period of co-existence. Standards referred during this project are listed below:
British Standards
BS 476 Fire Tests on building materials and structures
BS 5268 Structural use of timber - Part 2: Code of practice for permissable stress design, materials and workmanship (2002)
BS 9999:2005 Code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings
Eurocodes
Eurocode 5 - Design of Timber Structures
