This British Standard gives recommendations for
the design and construction of temporary and
permanent barriers to be provided in and about
buildings and places of assembly, such barriers
being positioned and designed to protect persons
from various hazards and to restrict or control the
movement of persons or vehicles. This British
Standard is applicable to:
a) barriers that indicate routes;
b) barriers capable of stopping or diverting
moving vehicles up to 2 500 kg within areas
where vehicle speed is restricted to a maximum
of 16 km/h (4.44 m/s, 10 mile/h);
c) walls, glazing and other elements of buildings
or structures where such elements act as
protective barriers.
This British Standard does not apply to:
1) barriers for resisting impact from vehicles
travelling at speeds greater than 16 km/h, for
example, bridge parapets beyond the curtilage
of a building, or highway safety barriers
(see BS 6779);
2) barriers used in building operations and
works of engineering construction.
