11、n of BS3445:1981 and has been prepared under the direction of the Farm and Horticultural Building Standards Policy Committee. It supersedes BS3445:1981 which is withdrawn. The specification for the trough bodies has been revised so as to retain features such as strength and robustness whilst maintai

12、ning optional other features which may be requested as extras. In addition agricultural water trough bodies manufactured from polyethylene have been added. It remains one of the chief functions of this British Standard to protect the water supply against contamination. It is recognized that manufact

13、urers of troughs are rarely involved in the manufacture or supply of water fittings, or in the installation of the troughs. The new standard is therefore written in two Parts in order that the Parts can be specified separately or together as required. BS3445-2 gives recommendations for the installer

14、 and operator on meeting water byelaw requirements. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal ob

15、ligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi and ii, pages1 to12, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on

16、the inside front cover.BS3445-1:1992 BSI 05-1999 1 Section 1.
