EN 996:1995+A3:2009 Piling equipment - Safety requirements
1.1 This standard specifies safety requirements for piling equipment suitable for the following purposes:
a) Construction of foundations, slurry walls or retaining walls, using piles or other longitudinal elements;
b) Removal of piles;
c) Installation of drain or injection elements.
The pile material can be timber, concrete (precast or cast in situ) or steel (tubes or rolled sections). Additionally, piles may have an interlocking feature to enable adjacent piles to be joined together.
1.2 This European standard deals with all significant hazards pertinent to piling equipment, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see annex A) associated with the following:
- Transport of equipment;
- Rigging and dismantling of equipment;
- Equipment in service and out of service;
- Moving of equipment between pile positions;
- Storage of equipment.
This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards.
1.3 Piling equipment includes:
a) Piling rig consisting of carrier machine (crawler, wheel or rail mounted, floating), leader attachment, leader or other guiding systems, e.g. direct mounted, boom supported, swinging, guide cage or free riding;
b) Pile installation and extraction equipment, e.g. impact hammers, extractors, vibrators or static pile pushing/pulling devices;
c) Accessories, e.g. pile caps, helmets, plates, followers, clamping devices, pile handling devices, pile guides, acoustic shrouds and shock/vibration absorbing devices, power packs/generators and personnel lifts or platforms.
1.4 In addition, this standard applies to diaphragm walling rigs. Additionally, the particular requirements which apply to diaphragm walling equipment are given in normative annex C.

Sound Control in Buildings: A Guide to Part E of the Building Regulations
M. W. Simons, J. R. Waters
ISBN: 978-1-4051-1883-5
Paperback
184 pages
January 2004, Wiley-Blackwell
Description
Unwanted noise can be a significant nuisance in buildings, particularly dwellings. Part E of the Building Regulations for England and Wales has therefore introduced substantially improved standards for noise control and stringent new requirements for the testing of completed buildings.
This new book explains the regulations in detail and provides recommendations for good design and construction. It explains those aspects of sound transmission necessary for an understanding of Part E of the Regulations.
Table of contents:
Introduction and background to the regulations; Sound absorption and room acoustics; The principles of airborne sound insulation; The principles of impact sound insulation; Part 2 Approved document E performance requirements; Measurement procedures; Separating walls and their flanking constructions - new buildings; Separating floors and their flanking constructions - new buildings; Dwelling houses and flats formed by material change of use; Internal walls and floors for new buildings; Rooms for residential purposes; Reverberation in common parts of buildings.
Hallmark features:
* Unwanted noise a major problem for domestic property
* Tough new requirements for sound control introduced by new Building Regulations from July 2003
* New testing requirements may mean expensive remedial work for dwellings not up to standard
* This book explains the new regulations in detail and recommends good design and construction methods to ensure compliance
Reviews:
'An excellent accompaniment to professional accoustic consultants and an excellent basis of knowledge for house building industry professionals.'
Building Engineer, June 2004

BS 8204-1:2003+Amendment 1:2009 Screeds, bases and in situ floorings. Concrete bases and cementitious levelling screeds to receive floorings. Code of practice
BS 8204-1 gives recommendations for the design and laying of concrete bases and cementitious levelling screeds to receive in situ floorings. It also gives recommendations for constituent materials, design, work on site, inspection and testing of concrete bases that are to receive in situ wearing screeds.
BS 8204-1 covers the following types of materials:
a) Concrete (see BS 8204-2)
b) Polymer modified cement (see BS 8204-3)
c) Terrazzo (see BS 8204-4)
d) Mastic asphalt (see BS 8204-5)
e) Synthetic resin (see BS 8204-6)
f) Magnesium oxychloride
g) Pumpable self-smoothing screeds (see BS 8204-7)
BS 8204-1includes information on bases and levelling screeds that are to receive flexible floor coverings such as:
h) Textiles
i) Linoleum
j) Polyvinyl chloride
k) Rubber
l) Cork
It also includes rigid floorings such as:
m) Wood block and strip
n) Laminate floor coverings
o) Ceramic tiles
p) Natural stone.
BS 8204-1 applies to ground-supported and suspended concrete floor bases. It includes the use of concrete and levelling screeds made with lightweight aggregates conforming to BS EN 13055-1. Recommended methods for the assessment of levels and surface regularity and for the determination of in situ crushing resistance (soundness) are also given in this standard.
BS 8204-1 does not provide guidance on the structural design or related construction of concrete ground-supported floors or suspended slabs. Information on these aspects is given in BS 8110-1. The specification of concrete for base slabs is given in BS 8500-2. The recommendations in this code of practice relate to those other aspects of design and construction of concrete slabs that affect the performance of the overlying levelling or wearing screed.
This standard has been amended to include updates made to other cement and aggregate standards.

BS 8204-2 gives recommendations for constituent materials, design, work on site, inspection and testing of in situ concrete direct finished base slabs. It applies to concrete as the wearing surface and wearing screeds (formerly known as high strength concrete toppings and granolithic toppings). It applies to both ground-supported floors and suspended floors.
