This Section of BS8000 gives recommendations on basic workmanship and covers those tasks which are frequently carried out in relation to the mixing and transporting of concrete on site. It is applicable only to standard and prescribed mixes as described in BS5328:Part2
This Section does not cover special concrete for civil engineering works (see BS8110 and other specialist codes), ready mixed concrete (see BS5328), precast concrete (see BS5328 and British Standards for precast concrete products) and designed or designated mixes.
NOTE This code of practice includes supplementary elements in the form of commentaries to assist in its use and understanding. Compliance with the commentaries is not necessary in order to be able to claim conformity with the standard.
