EN 1366 vs BS 476 Part 24

Some UK specifications still refer to BS 476 Part 24 while others require EN 1366-related evidence and classification. Treat legacy and current wording carefully and confirm what evidence route the project accepts.

This guidance is deliberately cautious. The right route depends on the system evidence, classification, duct dimensions, orientation, support arrangement, wall or floor construction, installation method and project specification.
