BS 8213-4:2016

BS 8213-4:2016 gives recommendations for the surveying and installation of non-load-bearing windows and external doorsets of any material, to be installed vertically (within 15°) into the external face of buildings. It gives recommendations for the good practices necessary for the successful surveying and installation of windows and external doorsets in both new build and replacement situations. It is primarily aimed at installations in dwellings but its provisions might also be relevant to other similar types of installation.

The recommendations contained in this part of BS 8213 may also be applied to door assemblies, but do not cover the site assembly of individual components.

This part of BS 8213 does not apply to load-bearing windows (other than bay poles), load-bearing doorsets, roof windows or rooflights, or to fire doorsets and assemblies. It does not cover curtain or ribbon walling, but might apply to separate window and door elements within those particular types of assemblies. It does not cover good business practice issues such as warranties and complaints.
