7、ember 2006. It was prepared by Technical Committee B/201, Fences. A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary. SupersessionThis part of BS 1722 supersedes BS 1722-8:1997, which is withdrawn.Relationship with other publicationsBS 1722 is published

12、ces or gates of a purely decorative nature, or those suited to special requirements; nor to specify requirements for “patent” proprietary fencing systems. It is recommended, however, that the structure of such fences or gates should conform to those clauses of this part of BS 1722 that are applicabl
13、e.1)Obsolescent.2)Part 18 is in development and will be published as a Draft for Development (DD). BSI 2006 iiiBS 1722-8:2006This standard aims to establish minimum requirements for materials and workmanship of the more common types of fence in order to ensure satisfactory service for the purchaser,
14、 and to assist manufacturers and installing contractors by eliminating unnecessary minor variations in the demands of purchasers. It specifies requirements for the components that make up a fence and the way in which the fence should be constructed. Throughout this standard there are requirements fo
15、r sizes of components, together with the permissible tolerances on size. These are minimum requirements and it will normally be acceptable to use larger sizes, except where this would adversely affect the fitting of components, or where replacement parts are needed to match up with those already pre
16、sent. The choice of fence is affected by factors such as its intended purpose, the desired service life, aesthetic considerations, and the availability of components. By reference to Table 1, the specifier is able to match a suitable choice of fence to its intended purpose and is also able to inform
17、 those installing the fence of the basic characteristics that need to be provided.This standard includes requirements for protective treatments but does not include maintenance requirements. Premature failure of the fence can be avoided by taking care not to damage protective treatments during insta
18、llation.The post setting depths specified in this standard are for normal ground conditions, but where special ground conditions exist, e.g. if the ground is softer or firmer than usual, such variations should be agreed with the specifier. This also applies to other similar variations.It is assumed
19、in this part of BS 1722 that continuous bar fences and welded hurdle fences are installed on horizontal ground. Where gradients are encountered, continuous bar fencing is suitable, but special design measures may be deemed necessary.This part of BS 1722 amends and augments the former part 8 of BS 17
20、22 in the following respects:a) Steel specifications and horizontal lengths are amended to cover current material availability and welding details are included.b) Obsolete fence types are deleted, and new additions made; guidance on foundations is improved and post designs and types are amended acco
21、rdingly.c) Design detail improvements are made; particularly for posts, wedges, gates and connectors.d) Criteria for design and loading capacity of gates and gate posts are given.It should be noted that in this part of BS 1722, the fence post spacing is given in terms of centre distances.To assist t
22、he procedure of specifying fences, Annex A provides guidance on the most important details that should be specified at the time of ordering.Annex B provides some typical gate designs that meet aesthetic requirements and loading criteria.BS 1722-8:2006iv BSI 2006Use of this documentIt has been assume
23、d in the drafting of this part of BS 1722 that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. Before installation commences the lead installer should hold a current FISS/CSCS registration card skilled level (blue card) or equivalent and all other oper
24、atives should hold the basic fence operative card (green card) or equivalent.At the time of publication of this British Standard, the registration cards are validated by the Joint Fencing Industry Scheme (FISS) and Construction Scheme Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS). FISS/CSCS maintains a nationa
25、l register of fence installers and operatives. There might be other schemes available.Presentational conventionsThe provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Its requirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb is “shall”.Commentary, explana
26、tion and general informative material is presented in smaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.Requirements in this standard are drafted in accordance with The BSI guide to standardization Section 2: Rules for the structure, drafting and presentation of British Standards, sub
27、clause 11.3.1, which states, “Requirements should be expressed using wording such as: When tested as described in Annex A, the product shall .”. This means that only those products that are capable of passing the specified test will be deemed to conform to this standard.Contractual and legal conside
28、rationsThis publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legal obligations. BSI 2006 1BS 1722-8:20061 ScopeThis part of BS 1722 specifies requiremen
29、ts for mild steel (low carbon steel) continuous bar fences for farm animal containment applications and welded hurdle fences of continuous bar type. A range of five specifications of fence of both types available, in three heights, is listed in Table 1 and Table 3. Requirements for the construction
30、of suitable gates for these fences is given in Clause 5, which states certain functional requirements for the designs, but does not specify the designs in detail.A list of information that should be obtained from the purchaser at the time of enquiry and/or order is given in Annex A.2 Normative refer
