Superseded by BS EN 1363-1:2020 and BS EN 1363-2:1999 but remains current until 2 September 2029. Supersedes BS 476-8:1972. Confirmed June 2016.

This standard has been superseded by the current BS EN 1365-1, BS EN 1365-2, BS EN 1365-3 and BS EN 1365-4, but it has been retained based on legitimate need for the standards within non-EU markets.
