BS 8410:2007 pdf free.Code of practice for lightweight temporarycladding for weatherprotection and containment on construction works.
BS 8410 This British Standard gives guidance and recommendations on theapplication and use of lightweight temporary cladding systems onconstruction and similar sites where weather protection and/orcontainment of dust and debris is required. It is applicable to containment nets and sheets conforming to BS 7955, and to GRP sheetsconforming to BS EN 1013-1 and BS EN 1013-2.

4.1 Lightweight temporary cladding is particularly vulnerable tocutting and chafing and therefore liable to damage easily.
NOTE 1 For major long-term projects,building control officers mighthave requirements for LTC, and might require materials of a particularspecification.
NOTE 2The durability and pevformance of nets and sheets is alsodependent on the type, number and quality of the fiacings; see Clause 7.NOTE 3 See Annex A for background information relating to LTC.4.2 All synthetic fibres and textiles can be damaged throughweathering and UV light. Normally, this results in a reduction instrength and embrittlement. Where the sheets might be in positionover several seasons, the material should be regularly replaced oradvice should be sought from the supplier or manufacturer. However,if care is taken in the design, positioning, erection, maintenance anduse of the temporary cladding, these disadvantages can be largelycontrolled.
When ordering the LTC for a temporary structure, at least thefollowing information should be provided:
a) dimensions of the structure to be clad (height, length, width and lift heights), including a drawing of the structure if possible;b) time to be allowed for the cladding to be erected;
c) time over which the cladding is needed;
d) confirmation that the structure has been designed for the extra loads that could be applied due to the presence of the cladding[see 4.4a),4.4b) and 4.4j)];
e) what operations are going to be carried out from the structure to be clad;
f)what materials are needed for the operation to be carried out,e.g. chemicals for washing brickwork.BS 8410 pdf download.
