BRITISH STANDARDS PROPOSED FOR WITHDRAWAL
BS 6779-1:1998
Highway parapets for bridges and other structures. Specification for vehicle containment parapets of metal construction
This standard is proposed for withdrawal. This series has been retained for some years as current, partially superseded as the European Standards series EN 1317 were implemented as British Standards. Whilst some clauses of BS 6779 may not be in conflict with the European Standard, the series is being withdrawn as it does have conflicting clauses and this could cause confusion to users. Although withdrawn the series will continue to be available
BS 6779-3:1994
Highway parapets for bridges and other structures. Specification for vehicle containment parapets of combined metal and concrete construction
This standard is proposed for withdrawal. This series has been retained for some years as current, partially superseded as the European Standards series EN 1317 were implemented as British Standards. Whilst some clauses of BS 6779 may not be in conflict with the European Standard, the series is being withdrawn as it does have conflicting clauses and this could cause confusion to users. Although withdrawn the series will continue to be available
