BSI committee B/544 has opened a consultation on the merger of BS 5234-1 and BS 5234-2 into a new standard BS 15234.
BS 5234 parts 1 and 2 respectively constitute a code of practice and test methods for robustness for partitions and have remained unchanged since 1992. The standards cover most types of partitions including drylining, glazed partitions and moveable walls.
The consultation is open to all, and members are encouraged to respond with their thoughts before the deadline of 20 September using the link below. You can also volunteer through this consultation to be involved in the development process.
