BS 5385 Part 3: 2024 was published on 30th May and introduces the following principal changes:
- BS 5385 Part 5: 2009 has been withdrawn. Information from this part of the British Standard has been incorporated into the revised Part 3.
- Definitions in the Standard have been greatly expanded and new illustrations are clearer and more consistent, improving clarity.
- For direct tiling onto plywood and other wood-based sheets or boards, an intermediate layer, such as an uncoupling membrane, reinforced tanking system or tile backer board should be used.
- Exposure to greater fluctuations of thermal and moisture movement means that for external tile installations, intermediate movement joints should be incorporated within the tile assembly at intervals between 3m to 5m.
- New sections have been included on the safe handling of materials, Light Reflectance Values (LRVs) and steps, stairs and slopes.
