BS EN 846-8:2000

National foreword
This British Standard is the official English language version of
EN 846-8:2000, incorporating amendment A1:2006, which is included in a
package of new European Standards being prepared by CEN/TC 125 relating
to ancillary components for masonry — ties, straps, hangers and brackets.
Although the English language versions of these European Standards will be

adopted as British Standards as they become available, the existing British
Standards for joist hangers will be retained, but only until such time that the
complete package of European Standards becomes available. Any residue(s)
from British Standards affected by the package which need to be retained, will
be drawn together to form a new BS. The original group of British Standards
will then be withdrawn and this will be notified in Update Standards.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee
B/519, Masonry and associated tests, to Subcommittee B/519/3, Ancillary
components.
A list of organizations represented on B/519/3 can be obtained on request to its
secretary.
This 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.

This British Standard, having
been prepared under the
direction of the Sector
Committee for Building and
Civil Engineering, was
published under the authority
of the Standards Committee
and comes into effect
on 15 June 2000
