New and Revised Codes & Standards: April 2007

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

BS 5400:-
Steel, concrete and composite bridges

BS 5400-10:1980
Code of practice for fatigue
This is to inform customers who have purchased this standard via BS Online before November 2006 that they may find they have the unamended 1980 version. Please check that you have the version containing Amendment No. 1 (AMD 9352) from March 1999. 

The implications of having the wrong version are that if the instructions in the amended text of Part 10 are not implemented by the designer, which needs minimum fatigue class requirements to be marked on the drawings when the requirement exceeds F2, then the default is that the ‘unspecified’ class will be deemed to apply when Part 6 is used for inspection of welding on the work itself. If a higher class (F, E and D for example) is actually needed, (which will be the exception rather than the rule in many bridges), then the amount of inspection and the acceptance criteria will not be adequate. The degree of reliability in achieving the design life could be compromised as a result.

Subscribers to BS Online can download the correct version. If you have purchased a hard copy and have the wrong version please call BSI Customer Services on
