Lighting columns —
Part 9: Specification of special
requirements for reinforced and
prestressed concrete lighting columns
This European Standard EN 40-9 was given, as from 29 October 1982 the status
of a British Standard and will replace the relevant requirements of BS 1308,
BS 1840 and BS 3989 (see national foreword).

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 Standard affected by BS 5649-9 is BS 1308, a specification for
concrete street lighting columns. It is anticipated that the affected clauses in the
existing standard BS 1308 will be withdrawn three years from the date of the last
Part published, of Parts 3 to 9 of this standard.
Part 9 of BS 5649 covers some or all of the requirements also covered in the
following clauses of the existing British Standard, BS 1308.

1.3 Cement
1.4 Aggregate
1.5 Pigment

It should be noted that the work on the further Part, dealing with special
requirements for plastics columns and mentioned in the CEN foreword, is not
now to proceed.

Convention. In this European Standard the comma has been used as a decimal
marker. In British Standards it is current practice to use a full point on the
baseline as the decimal marker.
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.
