Scope

This part of ISO 29481 specifies a methodology and format for describing ‘coordination acts’ between actors in a building construction project during all life cycle stages.
It therefore specifies
– a methodology that describes an interaction framework,
– an appropriate way to map responsibilities and interactions that provides a process context for information flow,
– a format in which the interaction framework should be specified.
This part of ISO 29481 is intended to facilitate interoperability between software applications used in the construction process, to promote digital collaboration between actors in the building construction process, and to provide a basis for accurate, reliable, repeatable, and high-quality information exchange.

Scope

This Standard sets out minimum requirements for the design and construction of concrete building structures and members that contain reinforcing steel or tendons, or both. It also sets out minimum requirements for plain concrete pedestals and footings.
NOTES:
1 The general principles of concrete design and construction and the criteria embodied in this Standard may be appropriate for concrete structures other than buildings, members not specifically mentioned herein and to materials outside the limits given in Clause 1.1.2.
2 It is intended that the design of a structure or member to which this Standard applies be carried out by, or under the supervision of, a suitably experienced and competent person.
3 For guidance on the design of maritime structures refer to AS 4997.
4 If alternate materials and methods to those prescribed in this Standard are to be used, they would need to be considered as part of the development of a Performance Solution to demonstrate compliance with the relevant Performance Requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) and be accepted by the relevant building authority.
This Standard is not intended to apply to the design of mass concrete structures.

1.1 This practice is intended as a companion standard to Specification E 541 , Specification for Agencies Engaged in System Analysis and Compliance Assurance for Manufactured Building. Specification E 541 covers criteria by which the technical resources of agencies may be evaluated for their capability to perform the system analysis or compliance assurance function, or both, in the evaluation and inspection of manufactured building. This standard includes questions that should be asked of system analysis and compliance assurance agencies in order for the administrative agency to evaluate their competency. Personnel matters are not highlighted in this standard since they are covered in detail in Specification E 541 . This is not meant to imply that they are not important.

1.2 The preferred method for utilizing this practice is for qualified personnel of the administrative agency to visit the system analysis and compliance assurance agencies’ headquarters to speak to qualified personnel and examine pertinent records and documentation. Alternatively, the evaluation may be done at any location provided the agency being evaluated is fully informed as to the material and personnel they will need to have on hand for the evaluation.

1.3 Some of the following will not be applicable in the evaluation of an agency that has not had prior experience as a building-evaluation organization. It is not the intent of this practice to preclude acceptance of such an agency provided it can otherwise demonstrate that its organizational procedures and experience in other product categories and experience of key personnel reflect a keen awareness of the problems and processes involved in manufactured building evaluation and thus warrant acceptance. In such instances the administrative agency may wish to consider extending provisional acceptance over a definite period of time, during which it is expected that the agency will have opportunity to gain the requisite experience and demonstrate its capabilities and compliance assurance functions for manufactured building.

1.4 Failure of an agency to respond satisfactorily to one or more criteria in the following should not be sole cause for rejection. Such failure should be brought to the agency’s attention and be subject to close scrutiny during subsequent reevaluations.

1.5 This practice is intended to achieve uniformity in the regulation of manufactured building. It may be necessary to make changes and modifications in order to adapt to legislative or other regulatory requirements of some jurisdictions.

1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

]]> This TR is an extension to CEN/TR 15855:2009. This original report on Barriers to Trade, prepared in response to Mandate M/366 given to CEN/TC 351 by the European Commission, identified that some of these barriers were truly technical or legal barriers to trade which can usually be overcome or minimised by technical harmonisation work, but others were quite legally in place, sometimes voluntary, but were nonetheless still seen as a barrier to the use of certain products in a free market place. This report is an examination of these concepts in more detail and an attempt to identify the reasons behind the presence of barriers to use and to present specific examples in more detail.
