BS 8104:1992

This standard BS 8104:1992 Code of practice for assessing exposure of walls to wind-driven rain is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.060.10 Walls. Partitions. Façades

This British Standard gives recommendations for two methods for assessing exposure of walls in buildings to wind-driven rain, namely the local spell index method and the local annual index method.

It should be noted that this code is not appropriate in respect of the weathertightness of components such as windows. However, the performance of such components can be influenced by the design of the surrounding structure and appendix E may be helpful in this respect.

NOTE. The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. Other references will be found throughout the text, indicated by bracketed numbers thus [1], and these are listed in the bibliography in appendix F.
