BS 5649 will be issued in Parts as they are completed and approved, and until the
first nine Parts are published it will not be possible to supersede the present
British Standards for lighting columns. As the Parts are issued recommendations
will be given for their implementation together with a list of clauses in the
existing standards which they will eventually supersede. It is hoped that a
gradual change-over will be obtained which will terminate with the total
withdrawal of the existing standards.
The British Standards affected by BS 5649-5 are BS 1308, BS 1840 and BS 3989,
specifications for concrete, steel and aluminium street lighting columns
respectively.
It is anticipated that the affected clauses in the existing standards will be
withdrawn in accordance with the following timetable:
BS 1840 and BS 3989: One year from the publication of this Part of this
standard
BS 1308: Three years from date of the last Part published, of Parts 3 to 9 of
this standard
BS 5649-5 covers some or all of the requirements also covered in the following
clauses of the existing British Standards.
BS 5649-5:1982
Clause 3.2 refers to EN 40-3 which was not approved by the UK. However, the
UK abstention vote was intended to enable the UK to add welding requirements
to Part 3. The technical requirements in EN 40-3 are identical with those in
clauses 1 to 6 of BS 5649-3:1982.
NOTE
The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.

5 Earthing terminals
Where columns are to be earthed by means of an
earthing terminal on the column or baseboard, the
following requirements shall apply.
The earthing terminal provided shall be corrosion
resistant, shall have substantial contact surfaces for
the attachment of an earthing conductor and shall
be readily accessible.
Except for doors there shall be reliable electrical
contact between all exposed metal parts of the
column and bracket where fitted, and the earthing
terminal (this does not include the metal
reinforcement in concrete columns). Whether or not
this contact includes the door shall accord with the
national practice of the country in which the column
is to be installed.
The attachment of the fixed part of the terminal
shall be designed and executed so as to prevent it
from being rotated when the clamping part is
moved.
If the fixed part of the terminal consists of a bolt its
dimensions shall not be less than M8.
The clamping part shall be designed so as to avoid
any damage to the earth conductor or its insulation
during tightening or loosening.
The earthing terminal, or the column or baseboard
adjacent to the terminal, shall be distinctly and
durably marked with the symbol N.
