EC2 and BS8110 compared

Introduction

The ENV version of Eurocode 2 Part 1 General Rules and Rules for Buildings has been around for some years as a draft for development. A National Application Document (NAD) was prepared to be used in conjunction with the ENV and together with the main document was published by BSI in 1992.





The intention was that this document would be trialled on real structures and it is referred to in Approved Document A of the Building Regulations. However use of the existing ENV is believed to have been very limited.

As part of the wider European Harmonisation process and linked to the requirements of the Construction Products Directive, considerable effort has been expended in recent years in converting the ENV version of the code into a full EN. The EN status means that eventually the code will become normative if and when it is accepted by formal voting. For practical purposes normative in the UK means that it will have the same status as and eventually replace BS8110.
