Specifying concrete - BS 5328 and BS 8500
BS 5328, Concrete was in four Parts.
Part 1, ´Guide to specifying concrete´
Part 2, ´Methods for specifying concrete mixes´
Part 3, ´Specification for the procedures to be used in producing and transporting concrete´
Part 4, ´Specification for the procedures to be used in sampling, testing and assessing compliance of concrete´.
BS 5328 was replaced in December 2003 by: BS 8500, Complementary British Standard to BS EN 206-1. This standard should be read in conjunction with BS EN 206, Concrete, Specification, performance, production and conformity´
BS 8500 was revised and republished in 2015 to reflect that BS EN 206-1(2000) and BS EN 206-9 (2010) Concrete: Additional rules for self-compacting concrete have been revised and rationalised as a single Standard BS EN 206:2013. Further amendments have also been included in 2016 and 2019.
The current version is BS 8500 (2023) reflects the new available cement types and ternary blends.
