National foreword

This British Standard is the UK implementation of EN 1991-1-3:2003+A1:2015,

incorporating corrigendum March 2009. It supersedes BS EN 1991-1-3:2003
which is withdrawn.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated
in the text by tags. Tags indicating changes to CEN text carry the number of
the CEN amendment. For example, text altered by CEN amendment A1 is
indicated by
.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by corrigendum is indicated in
the text by tags. Text altered by CEN corrigendum March 2009 is indicated in
the text by CD.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee
B/525, Building and civil engineering structures, to Subcommittee B/525/1,
Actions (loadings) and basis of design.
A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on
request to its secretary.
Where a normative part of this EN allows for a choice to be made at the national
level, the range and possible choice will be given in the normative text, and a
note will qualify it as a Nationally Determined Parameter (NDP). NDPs can
be a specific value for a factor, a specific level or class, a particular method or a
particular application rule if several are proposed in the EN.
