Foreword

This Britjsh Standard has been prepared under the diredon of the Engineering
Standards Policy Committee. It supersedes BS M l 9 8 9 which is withdrawn. The
standard has been revised to incorporate the shape codes in BS EN EO 4066:2000.
Assessed capabüity. Usem of this British Standard are advised to consider the
desirability of quality system assessment and regktration against the appropriaîe
standard in the BS EN EO 9OOO series by an accredited third-party certificaton body
(see annex B).
A British standard does not purport to include ail nec- provisions of a contract.
Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunitg
from legal obligations.

BS 4482 (for fabric conforming to BS 4483);

6 Form of schedule
6.1 For bar reinforcement, a bar schedule in
accordance with Figure 2 shall be prepared.
For cutting and bending purposes, schedules shall be
provided on separate sheets of paper of size not
signüicantiy larger than A4 in accordance with
BS 4000 and not as part of the detailed reinforcement
drawings.
For fabric reinforcement a fabric schedule shall be
prepared in accordance with Figure 3.
When used for purpose made fabric, the schedule
shall include cross-reference to any relevant
àimensional drawings.
6.2 For schedules that are not produced on a
computer, the minimum width of the columns in the
bar and fabric schedules shall be as shown in
Fïgures2and3.
For computer produced schedules, the column
widths and the size of the schedule may vary h m
those shown in Figures 2 and 3, but the sequence of
columns shall be maintained. The schedule shall not
be significantly larger than size A4 in accordance
with BS 4ûûû.
6.3 The schedule reference shall be included at the
top righbhand corner of the schedule form and shall
be consecutively numbered. The first three
characters of the schedule reference shall be the last
three characters of the relevant detailed d r
am
number, starung at, for example, drawing
number 001. The schedule number shall occupy the
fourth and fifth spaces, starung at O1 and not
exceeding 99 for any one drawing. The sixth space
shall be used for schedule revision letters.

Terms such as “sheet number” or ”page number“
shall not be used on schedules. The styles “I (of 6)”
and “6 (and last)” may be used on manually prepared
schedules but the words in parentheses shall not
form part of the schedule reference.

Where a schedule revision is necessaiy, the line or
lines affected shall be indicated by a suitable
reference on the schedule, e.g. “A” at the right-hand
side of the schedule in Figure 2.
NOTE if a job contains more than 999 àrawings it can be broken
down into groups by the use of a job number, e.g. job
number 1234A foundations and job number 1234B ground Boor.
6.4 The bar or fabric schedule shall include the
statement ”this schedule complies with BS 86662000”. I
6.5 The bar (or fabric) mark shall comprise simple
and consecutive numbers or letters with a maximum
of six characters. Where special end preparation is
required (e.g. for couplers), the bar mark shall
commence with “E”. The bar (or fabric) mark shall
be used for labelling purposes in accordance with
clause 6.
6.6 In the ”type and size” column of the schedule,
the notations specified in clause 4 for the type and
grade of reinforcement shall be given and this shall
be followed by the nominai size in miìlimetxes.
6 Form of bar or fabric label
The schedule reference and the mark given in the
“bar (or fabric) mark” column of the schedule shall
be put on the labels attached to the reinforcement.

by the supplier for his own identification and
internal system, no other information shaü appear on
the label.

NOTE 1 The length equations for shapes 16,25,26,and 46 am appmximak and where the bend angle is greater than 4F the length
should be caicuiated more accurately allowing for the Merence between the specifíed overall dimensions and the true length
measured along the central EC& of the bar or wire. When the bending angles approach W, it is preferable to spec@ shape
code 99 with a fdly dimensioned sketch.
NOTE 2 For shapes with straight and semi&& lengths (e.&shape codes 13 and 33) the largest practical radius for the production
ofa continuouscurve is 200 nun, and for Wer radii the curve may be produced by a series of sîmight sections.

a
ambiguities that are best overcome by means of a simple sketch in the "bending instruction"column
The sketch in the bending instruction column shall indicate the following:

a) The direction of bending reiative to the transverse wires

b) The direction of the longitudinal wires of the sheet to ensure bending about the correct axis

Sheet with unequai overhangs

c) The correct orientaiion of an asymmetxic sheet to ensure the correct seüjng out of bending dimensions

For all bent fabric reinforcement, the bending dimensions shall avoid welded transverse wires occurring
within four diameters of the start of a bend, see Figure 7.
