Standards Development
This British Standard provides recommendations and guidance on the installation of pavements surfaced with modular paving produced in accordance with BS EN 1338, BS EN 1339, BS EN 1340, BS EN 1341, BS EN 1342, BS EN 1343 and BS EN 1344 respectively and designed in accordance with BS 7533.
It applies to all paved areas including those not subject to vehicular traffic and those subjected to the axle loads of standard highway vehicles up to a total of 30 million standard axles (msa) over its life. This includes both highway pavements and industrial pavements where the traffic is similar in character to highway vehicles.
It excludes other applications such as aircraft pavements and those in ports and specialized industrial areas. pavers.
To consolidate Parts 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9 of BS 7533; and provide state-of-the-art technical improvements to the installation process.
The original BS 7533 series of 12 parts covered the use of concrete, clay pavers, stone setts, and concrete and stone slabs or flags, and was published between 2001 and 2010. It was published because the use of these products significantly increased as public realm improvement schemes introduced more hard landscaping and the cost of the products became more competitive and some were of sufficient quality.
The provisions contained within these documents has become obsolete. Increased use of the document also identified that having so many documents caused confusion amongst designers and installers, and lead to errors in design and installation and premature failure. By rewriting the standard and reducing the number of parts available to one simplifies the installation process for users and will reduce significant errors. The design aspects have been addressed by a companion document BS 7533-101.
