Covers guidance on where to find information on materials often used in temporary works.

This European Standard provides guidance on where to find information on materials often used in temporary works. It draws attention to a number of points that a designer should take into account.

The information given is limited to commonly used steel, aluminium alloys, cast iron, timber and timber based materials.

Requirements are also given for welding, for limiting corrosion and other deterioration.

It is limited to the selection of types and grades of material from standards, which are either international or European Standards.
