BS 5930 – Ten year revision

To all those interested in investigation and testing as part of site investigation (senso lato)


As you will be aware there are a number of Standards coming out of Europe which will affect the way we investigate sites.  Some of these changes are incorporated into Amendments 1 and 2 to BS 5930 but there are more to come, and BSI Committee B/526/3 now feel it is time to revise BS 5930 after 10 years.  Accordingly we are forming a Working Group to get the revision process underway.


This notice is to seek:
1) Identification of items within the current BS 5930 which are wrong, out of date, need changing or adding to.
2) Volunteers who are willing to help us make the required changes. The more volunteers we get, the less text each of us will have to work on.


Please could all recipients of this message pass this on to others who might be interested, either personally or through any appropriate circulation lists/ specialist groups etc


Respondents to either of these points are invited to get in touch with David Norbury at david@drnorbury.co.uk to register their point or interest.


With thanks in advance


Regards

David Norbury
