Foreword
This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Iron and Steel
Standards Committee and supersedes BS 4483:1969 which is withdrawn. This
revision reflects current practice and incorporates the fabric notation of BS 4466.
All reinforcing steels supplied in accordance with this standard are readily
weldable, providing that the requirements of BS 5135 are observed.
Purchasers ordering to this standard are advised to specify in their purchasing
contract that the supplier operates a quality system in compliance
with BS 5750-2 to ensure to their satisfaction that products claiming to comply
with this standard consistently achieve the required level of quality.
NOTE A new British Standard on the welding of reinforcement is in preparation and, until it
becomes available, the requirements of BS 5135 together with the reinforcement manufacturers
recommendation should be observed.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
