Information about this document

A full revision of BS 6349-1:2000 has been undertaken and the principal change is to split the document into four smaller parts:

BS 6349-1-1: Code of practice for planning and design for operations
BS 6349-1-2: Code of practice for assessment of actions
BS 6349-1-3: Code of practice for geotechnical design
BS 6349-1-4: Code of practice for materials

The principal change in respect of the materials content is that the document has been edited to be compatible with relevant Eurocodes. The concrete clause has been significantly revised to reflect current industry practice and to bring the recommendations in line with comparable British and European standards.
