What is PD 6705-2+A1 about?
PD 6705-2+A1 is the second part of multiple series that gives guidance on the use of BS EN 1090-2:2008+A1:2011 for the execution of all types of steel bridges designed to BS EN 1993.
Note: It is applicable to the same scope of application as BS EN 1090-2:2008+A1:2011 with the following exceptions:
- Stainless steels
- Sheeting
- Resistance welding
- Riveting
- Matters not related to structural integrity, e.G., Visual appearance
Who is PD 6705-2+A1 for?
PD 6705-2+A1 on recommendations for the execution of steel bridges useful for:
- Architecture
- Civil engineer
- Construction industry
- Regulatory Authority
- Manufacturer or supplier of steel
- Contractor of steel
Why should you use PD 6705-2+A1?
PD 6705-2+A1 is prepared for personnel involved in the regulation, design, procurement, fabrication, erection and certification of steel bridges when BS EN 1090-2:2008+A1:2011 is used as the basis for specifying the execution.
PD 6705-2+A1 enables you to prepare the execution specification for steel bridges to incorporate appropriate requirements relating to those clauses in order to conform to BS EN 1993-2. This will help you to know whether the specification is intended to cover steel bridges in general, types or parts of a steel bridge, or a bridge for an individual project. Also, PD 6705-2+A1 contains multiple options and requirements for further information.
What’s changed since the last update?
PD 6705-2:2010+A1:2013 to BS EN 1090-2 superseded BS 5400-6 in March 2010 following a period of coexistence. The replacement of BS 5400-6 with PD 6705-2:2010+A1:2013 to BS EN 1090-2 represents a substantial change in construction practice in the UK.
