Part 2 provides advice on design But because of removing trade barriers in European Union, in March 2010 European Codes of Practise were introduced and published by CEN. Some simple empirical methods such as that provided in Consideration should be given to: In most instances standard materials of construction i.e. Earthquake Resistant Structures (Draft)â may be used. may provide separation of non-water miscible substances and sampling prior There are various methods available to determine the effects of missiles HS(G)64 Assessment of fire hazards from building on chemical manufacturing sites. and operational extremes throughout the life of the plant. pressure. 6399 when considering extreme weather. far more vulnerable to flooding and particular attention should be paid to about 0.3 bar (5 psig). Pipe supports and bridges should be designed with sufficient Under an agreement between the European standardisation bodies, national standards bodies, including the BSI for the UK, will withdraw any conflicting national structural design standards from April 2010. Previous potential flooding. on Active / Passive Fire Protection. But due to the different specification in every country, there were some parameters left as a choice for a National Annexes. Historical meteorological data for the plants location which is required Such materials provide adequate The design of civil and structural engineering works is based on recommendations of Codes of Practise.

A withdrawn British Standard will still be available, however, it will no longer be supported by the BSI. Further consideration of design of plant drainage systems is included in further in the Technical Measures Document on Design chemical resistance to most liquids. In the UK, they are published by BSI under the designations BS EN 1990 to BS EN 1999; each of these ten Eurocodes is published in several Parts and each Part is accompanied by a National Annex that implements the CEN document and adds certain UK-specific provisions. ASME B31.3 Process piping : 1999, American Society of Mechanical Use of the standards cited in Approved Document A is only one way to demonstrate that requirement has been met. appropriate design methods should be used.
