What does the BS8539 say about anchor testing?
BS8539 states that tests need to be conducted by someone who’s not only competent but who also has a vast knowledge of anchors, how they’re installed, and how they’re likely to fail as this will greatly improve the quality of the tests.
It defines the responsibility of the chosen tester as:
-
To ensure tests are carried out to the correct procedures.
-
Where relevant, anchors are installed by the manufacturers’ instructions, in the correct locations as required by the specifier.
-
Results are recorded in a full and comprehensive manner and forwarded to whoever requested the tests.
-
Must hold the relevant CFA qualification.
