Consultation: BS 6229 Flat roofs with continuously supported flexible waterproof coverings – Code of practice

 

The revised edition of BS 6229 can be found in the members area of the SPRA website. SPRA is interested in hearing comments from members before the end of June. Please email jim@spra.co.uk It describes best current practice in the design, construction, care and maintenance of roofs with a flat or curved surface, at a pitch not greater than 10 degrees to the horizontal, with a continuously supported flexible waterproof covering. The supporting structure is either dense and heavy (such as a concrete slab) or consist of framing members supporting a lightweight deck of metal or of timber-based material. Provided that the design conditions are similar, many of the recommendations contained in this code of practice apply to roofs at pitches greater than 10 degrees and to those designed as a Green Roof supporting planting. This British Standard does not apply to certain types of cold stores and high temperature enclosures.

 

The public consultation ends on 31st July. If you wish to make comments through the official channels, please use the web site  http://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/projects/2018-00091 .
