Specifies a test method for determining the combustibility of building materials and is one of a series of test methods of evaluating the potential fire hazard of building products; the test is for building materials other than coated, faced or laminated materials which, although not completely inert, produce only a limited amount of heat and flame when exposed to temperatures of approximately 750 °C.

Sets out minimum design and performance requirements for bearings and deck joints for the articulation and accommodation of movements of bridge structures. It does not apply to concrete hinges.

Sets out requirements and recommendations for the storage and handling non-flammable cryogenic liquids at temperatures below minus 90 degrees Celsius and non-flammable refrigerated liquids at or below minus 15 degrees Celsius which are classified as Class 2.2 in the ADG Code. Special requirements for the storage and handling of liquefied oxygen, nitrous oxide, nitrogen, argon, helium and carbon dioxide are provided. The properties and hazards of these liquids, precautions for their handling and an outline of first aid procedures are discussed.

Specifies requirements for transparent, translucent and opaque polycarbonate sheeting intended for use as roof or wall cladding.

This Standard provides methods for determining the performance of external construction elements when exposed to direct flame impingement from the fire front.

This Standard sets out the method for determining the variation in strength of aggregate tested in both the oven dry and saturated surface dry condition.

The objective of this standard is to determine water-soluble sulfate content of natural soil and the sulfate content of the groundwater.

Proposes requirements for the design, and test methods for, drive units, leaves and components of powered pedestrian doors, including constructions that are operated electro-mechanically, electro-hydraulically or pneumatically.
