7、ii BSI 06-1999 Foreword This British Standard, which has been prepared under the direction of the Timber Standards Committee, is a revision ofBS585:1972in two Parts. BS585-1is a prescriptive specification applicable only to timber stairs, which may include plywood risers and/or edge-to-edge jointed

8、timber and/or glue-laminated wood components. This Part is a performance specification for stairs which may use the newer wood-based materials and/or non-traditional methods of construction or fixing of members. Since there is no satisfactory accelerated ageing test to assess durability of wood-base

9、d materials, the scope of the standard has been restricted to materials complying with British Standards. This has made it possible to reduce the number of performance criteria and associated test methods. The proper functioning and durability of a stair complying with this standard depend on care i

10、n handling during transportation to, and on site, as well as careful site storage, correct installation and temporary protection, and subsequent proper maintenance. Some general advice is given in BS5395-1. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Us

11、ers of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi andii, pages1to8, an inside back cover and a bac

12、k cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS585-2:1985 BSI 06-1999 1 0 Introduction 0.1 General To perform satisfactorily in use, a stair and its component parts have

13、to attain a specific level of performance for each of a number of relevant attributes. The main attributes to be considered are strength, deflection and vibration under dynamic load. Other attributes, such as slip resistance, wear resistance and resistance to wetting may be important, depending on t

14、he materials used in the stair construction or the particular end use. Performance requirements and acceptance levels are given for complete staircases and separately for balustrades, treads, nosings and risers. The acceptance levels relate to the test methods given in Appendix B which allow for var

15、ious forms of support for the stair strings simulating the fixing to be used in practice, i.e.top and bottom support only or an additional intermediate support for one string. In drawing up performance requirements for this Part ofBS585, acceptance levels have been based largely upon tests on domest

16、ic wood stairs known to be satisfactory in use. Consideration has also be given to mandatory requirements contained in building regulations, and the recommendations in BS5395-1and BS6399-1. 0.2 Stairs Tests for complete stairs (see clause6) are based on the application of concentrated loads, which a

17、re considered to be a more realistic representation of actual loading than the equivalent uniformly distributed loads. Information on user reaction to dynamic movement of stairs is limited. There is evidence of a relation between dynamic movement of stairs and their deflection under static load. To

18、enable further data to be obtained, a suitable test method has been given in Appendix D. A stair should be strong enough to carry normal loading with an acceptable margin of safety, and without excessive deflection that would impair its efficiency or the performance of adjacent components. Movements

19、 under dynamic load should not affect user comfort or safety. The stair should maintain these performance levels during its expected life. Stairs do not have to sustain loads over long periods of time. However, since certain materials are subject to creep, the inclusion of a24h load test in a future

20、 edition of the standard is under consideration. 0.3 Balustrades Balustrades act as a barrier to prevent accidents due to stumbling and falling. Their handrails are intended to assist in ascending or descending stairs or to act as a grab rail in case of falling by providing a firm handgrip which als

21、o provides a feeling of security. Thus it is essential to consider balustrades as structural elements designed to meet the appropriate strength requirements(see BS6180). The tests on balustrades described in Appendix B are intended to simulate a static loading condition and an impact loading conditi

22、on. 0.4 Treads and nosings Stair treads should be capable of carrying the concentrated static and impact loads that occur in use with safety and without excessive deflection that would cause a feeling of insecurity to users. Nosings of treads should be capable of carrying the impact loads they recei

23、ve in normal use without sustaining damage. This aspect of performance is particularly important where a tread material is known to be unsuitable for nosings and it is intended to superimpose a nosing of a higher performance material. The performance requirements for treads and nosings given in6.4 a

24、nd6.5 are based on those given for chipboard in BS5669. 0.5 Risers Risers should be capable of resisting the loads they receive in use. The main type of loading to be considered is the impact loads that can arise from the toes of shoes when a person goes up the stair. 1 Scope This Part of BS585speci

25、fies performance requirements for domestic stairs constructed from certain wood-based materials (see clause4). Itapplies to straight flight stairs and stairs with quarter and half landings, intended primarily for use inside one-family dwellings, but excludes stairs having flights with winder treads.

26、 NOTE 1For guidance on design of stairs with straight flights, see BS5395-1. NOTE 2Appendix D describes a recommended test method for vibration of stairs. Reference may be made to BRE Digest278 “Vibrations, buildings and human response” 1) . NOTE 3The titles of the publications referred to in this s

NOTE 1The requirements in this clause apply to wood stairs for painting. When stairs are required with non-opaque finishes, reference should be made to the manufacturer

31、. NOTE 2Care should be taken in the handling of stairs, or stair components, before, during and after delivery to site. The site stacking area should be level, clean, and ventilated under cover and the components stacked so as to avoid bowing, twisting or buckling. After fixing, the stair should be

32、protected from damage until all other work has been completed and the final decoration applied. 6 Performance requirements 6.1 General 6.1.1 Type tests for the requirements specified in6.2 to6.6 shall be carried out to prove the design of whole stairs or flights and individual components. NOTEOther

33、considerations, such as slip resistance (see12.3.7 of BS5395-1:1977), wear resistance and the effect of wetting on treads and nosings, may be important in certain circumstances. The appropriate performance levels should be agreed between the specifier and the manufacturer. For straight flight stairs

34、, a whole stair shall be tested. For stairs with quarter or half landings, the longest complete flight shall be tested. 6.1.2 A pre-load test shall be carried out to establish a datum for deflection measurements (seeB.1).
