This British Standard is the UK implementation of EN 1993‑1‑4:2006+A2:2020. It supersedes BS EN 1993‑1‑4:2006+A1:2015, which is withdrawn.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 UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee CB/203, Design & execution of steel structures.

A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its committee manager.

Where a normative part of this EN allows for a choice to be made at 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. To enable EN 1993‑1‑4:2006+A2:2020 to be used in the UK, the latest version of the NA to this Standard containing these NDPs should also be used. At the time of publication, it is NA+A1:2015 to BS EN 1993‑1‑4:2006+A1:2015.

This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.
