BSI Construction standards
BSI brings a new and refreshed approach to the area of standardization. The emphasis
of standards has been extended beyond technical issues to include process issues of key
strategic importance to the construction sector. The policy remit has been widened to
include standards relating to all aspects of the built environment.
To compliment the change in policy focus, the construction standards committees at BSI
are also being reorganized into seven core areas, namely:
• Design • Structures • Construction products
• Built environment engineering • Infrastructure • Site operations
• Facilities management
This new portfolio addresses requirements for the whole of the built environment.
BSI has already mapped out an action plan for the future and has reorganized the
technical committees to mirror the way the industry actually works. This will lead to
a new generation of performance related standards which will improve innovation
and competitiveness in the UK and overseas.
The standards and the changes needed to reflect the new demands for
smart, sustainable construction for the future.

The standards for this key market are used by architects, design engineers, developers and facilities
management contractors.

BS 6100 Building and civil engineering vocabulary
New parts of BS 6100
With the growth in the number of international construction projects and the development of the international market in construction products, there is an increasing need
for agreement on a common language in the domain. Thus the following parts of this important standard have been revised to take into account both technical developments
and changes in commonly used terms.

Structures
This section covers standards for the design and execution of buildings and civil engineering works.
Written for structural engineers, the standards and publications in this area cover design principles
and set out mathematical formulae and calculation methods.
Buildings (above four stories) and other structures such as bridges, chimneys, towers, masts, and
pipelines are covered. So too are requirements for the design of foundations, embankments, and piles.
Individual construction materials and the impacts of loadings are also covered.

Construction Products
Construction products covers an industry of £40 billion annually and 40% of total construction output.
The main users of standards are manufacturers, inspectors and testers, but other parts of the
construction process also use the standards.
Many of the standards are harmonized product standards or supporting methods of test for the
Construction Products Directive 1989. The work programme is now nearly concluded but second
