Appropriate Standard
Appropriate Standard : Any reference to an 'appropriate standard' is a reference to any of the following which are current at the time of the work activity: (1) a British Standard (See: References); (2) a relevant standard or code of practice of a national standards body of any member state of the European Union (EU); (3) a relevant technical specification acknowledged for use as a standard by a public authority of any member state of the EU; (4) traditional procedures of manufacture of a member state of the EU where these are the subject of a written technical description sufficiently detailed to permit assessment of the goods or materials for the use specified; (5) a specification sufficiently detailed to permit assessment for goods or materials of an innovative nature (or subject to innovative process of manufacture such that they cannot comply with a recognised standard or specification) and which will fill the purpose provided by the specified standard; provided that the proposed standard, code of practice, technical specification or procedure of manufacture provides, in use, equivalent levels of safety, suitability and fitness for purpose to those achieved by the standard to which it is expressed to be equivalent. The mutual recognition in the previous paragraph is also extended to products originating in European Economic Area member states who are contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA), which conform to the standards, regulations, specifications or traditional procedures of manufacture legally applied in those states and which offer an equivalent standard of safety to that required in GSIUR.
