BS EN 846-10:2000

National foreword
This British Standard is the official English language version of EN 846-10:2000
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 brackets 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withdrawn and this will be notified in Update Standards.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 testing, to Subcommittee B/519/3, Ancillary
components, which has the responsibility to:
Ð aid enquirers to understand the text;
Ð present to the responsible European committee any enquiries on the
interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;
Ð monitor related international and European developments and promulgate
them in the UK.
A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request
to its secretary.
Cross-references
The British Standards which implement international or European publications

Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
