A new British standard covering the specification of steel and aluminium rainwater systems has been published by the British Standards Institute (BSi).
The Metal Gutter Manufacturers Association (MGMA) has been at the forefront of the development of the BS 9101:2017 Steel and aluminium rainwater systems: Specification; the first standard in this field.
This new standard will prove invaluable to bespoke and proprietary metal gutter manufacturers, construction consultants, architects and installers of commercial and domestic buildings to ensure that metal gutters are correctly specified and manufactured.
The new standard specifies the requirements for the design and manufacture of metal gutters on industrial, commercial and residential buildings. It reflects the range of materials and manufacturing technologies available and applies to the manufacture of steel and aluminium metal gutter systems.
This British Standard specifies the materials, tolerances, mechanical properties and surface conditions, coatings, laminated surfaces, jointing methods and fixings for rainwater systems, including fittings and accessories for assembly or support.
The British Standard is available from www.shop.bsigroup.com.
