Guidance Note on Ordering Chippings to Avoid Oversize.

British Standards 63 will be withdrawn from June 2004 and will be replaced by BS EN13043:2002.

Members ordering chippings for surface dressing using BS EN 13043:2002 should be aware that there is a risk of up to 2% oversize in the delivered material.

To avoid this risk members when inviting quotations, should advise their suppliers that as permitted by Table 2 of BS EN 13043:2002 they require 100% passing D and require the supplier to document and declare the typical grading with his quotation.

For reference see the note to table 4 on page 6 of PD 6682 – 2:2003.
