BS 8204-2:2003 + Amendment 2:2011 Screeds, bases and in situ floorings. Concrete wearing surfaces. Code of practice
BS 8204-2 gives recommendations for constituent materials, design, work on site, inspection and testing of in situ concrete direct finished base slabs. It applies to concrete as the wearing surface and wearing screeds (formerly known as high strength concrete toppings and granolithic toppings). It applies to both ground-supported floors and suspended floors.
BS 8204-2 does not provide guidance on the structural design of ground-supported or suspended floors. Information on this aspect is given in BS 8110-1.
The recommendations in this code of practice relate to those other aspects of the design of concrete floors that affect the performance of their wearing surfaces.
This standard has been amended to include updates made to other cement and aggregate standards.
