What is BS 5234-2 - Specification for performance requirements for strength and robustness about?

BS 5234-2 is the second part of the multiple series that specifies the performance requirements for the strength and robustness of a sample partition when tested by the methods given in the annexes. The partition specimen to be tested is defined and includes a doorset and the surface finish of the partition where this is supplied as part of the partition. Note 1: The requirements tested may be applied to a partition regardless of the materials used in its construction. However, it would be unnecessary and/or inappropriate to apply some tests to some forms of construction; for example, heavyweight anchorage tests on movable partitions, screens, or WC cubicles, hard body impact tests on the glass of glazed partitions, etc. Masonry partitions should be designed for structural requirements in accordance with BS 5628-1:1978, BS 5628-2:1985, and BS 5628-3:1985 . However, the design of some masonry partitions may need modification to achieve some of the performance criteria when tested by the methods given in this Part of BS 5234 . Note2: BS 5234-2 does not include requirements f...
