By Standards (with a capital "S") we refer to International (ISO), European (EN) and British Standards (BS). It must be understood that Standards are designed for voluntary use and do not impose any regulations. However, laws and regulations may refer to certain Standards and make compliance with them compulsory. Certainly, non-compliance with Standards is a major issue when legal procedures take place, and observance and compliance with Standards is essential.
There are many Standards around - in UK there are more than 27,000 BS Standards. Many are derived from (and equal to) EN Standards. If an EN Standard is published then it has to become a BS Standard within generally 6 months.
BS (EN, ISO) Standards have to be purchased from British Standards shop (BSI) - The BDA cannot provide them owing to copyright.
BS 5930:2015 "Code of practice for ground investigations” came into effect on 31 July 2015. This British Standard supersedes BS 5930:1999+A2:2010, which is withdrawn.
The requirements of data capture in the field and the inclusion of this in reporting as well as other amendments throughout the code.
Although at first glance it might appear that not much has altered but the revised standard updates best and current practice, accommodates EN ISO standards and has been reorganised to reduce repetition. The structure has been considerably revised. Several of these sections have been raised from clause to section level to better reflect their importance to the investigation process
The revision process started in late 2011 and the final draft for public comment was issued in 2014 when over 1000 comments were made - the most ever seen by BSI. The comments were reviewed and incorporated ready for publication in July 2015.
