BS 8297 – Design, manufacture and installation of architectural precast concrete cladding. Code of practice

BS 8297:2017 gives recommendations and guidance for the design, manufacture, transportand installation of architectural precast concrete units in the form of:

a) units supported by and fixed to a structural frame or wall to perform a cladding role;
b) units which may neither be associated with, or form part of, a building;
c) units used as permanent formwork in part or in whole, but limited to architectural elements; and
d) the architectural function of a sandwich panel (see 3.7.3).

It includes recommendations on the measures which are to be taken to provide for permanent andtemporary movements and tolerances of the structure, to enable the cladding to perform its functionsatisfactorily. It gives the minimum standards needed and the materials and methods of fixings mostfrequently used. It applies to new buildings but many provisions might be applicable to alterations orrefurbishment of existing buildings.

Guidance is given on the quality of the finished product and verification of performance. The designrecommendations given in this British Standard are based on limit state design principles.

This British Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with BS EN 13369:2013 and BS EN 13670,but provides comprehensive guidance specifically in relation to architectural precast concretecladding and therefore takes precedence in the items addressed.

This British Standard does not provide recommendations relevant to units incorporating glassfibre reinforced concrete (GFRC/GRC), semi-dry or small wet-cast masonry units instead of largerarchitectural wall cladding panels (see BS 1217), nor the design of the supporting structure to whichthe units might be attached.
