British standards

[deanotile]

Dave can we have another category. Don’t know never read them.

If you try and treat them as rules you have to obey, rather than guidelines you can avoid when the situation demands it. Then its better all around. Imo

[MICK the Tiler]

I won't be a formal voter as I'm not familar with the in's and outs of BS, but in saying that an informed tiler is a smart tiler and if your new to the game you should purchase and study the standards to become familar with there contents.

Yes they are a guide and yes they are rules, but the rules will come into play if a matter goes to court, so the court will look at a particular standard as a benchmark to which the work has been carried out.

If you do a job for Mr and Mrs Blogs and they are not happy with your work they can take you to court if your work dos not conform to the British standards then you will loos so in that respect they are rules.

I vote rules, as when I tile they're rules. No problem can be presented to me that I can't get around sticking to the rules. After-all, it's not the tile I leave dodgy because the pipes in the way, it's the pipe I make dangerours by moving that and stick to MY rules - or the British Standard. KEEP YOUR TILES PRETTY!

DIN, EN, BS, FM, UL, GL, NFPA and all the others are guidelines.
