BS EN 1537:2000
National foreword
This British Standard is the official English language version of EN 1537:1999. It
supersedes those parts of BS 8081:1989 that deal with the construction ('execution')
of ground anchorages; these parts will therefore be declared obsolescent by
amendment.
The harmonized European design of ground anchorages will be dealt with by
EN 1997-1. Until it is published, the design parts of BS 8081:1989 apply, whereafter
BS 8081:1989 will be declared obsolescent on its entirety.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee
B/526, Geotechnics, which has the responsibility to:
aid enquirers to understand the text;
present to the responsible European committee any enquiries on the
interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;
monitor related international and European developments and promulgate
them in the UK.
A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to
its secretary.
Cross-references
The British Standards which implement international or European publications
referred to in this document may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the
section entitled International Standards Correspondence Index, or by using the
Find facility of the BSI Standards Electronic Catalogue.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
