A list of organizations represented on these committees can be obtained on request to their secretary. Relationship with other publications Harmonization of European Standards resulted in the withdrawal of the British Standards for aluminium rainwater goods, BS 2997:1958, and steel rainwater goods, BS 1091:1963, leaving the UK with no standards for its generic types of steel and aluminium gutter and rainwater pipe systems. This British Standard covers UK metal gutter and rainwater pipe systems excluded from the scopes of BS EN 612 and BS 8530. Use of this document finite element analysis (Annex A) and physical testing (Annex B), to avoid limiting user's testing options. These are equivalent methods of testing. Presentational conventions The 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".
