BS EN 1337-5 Pot Bearings (Structural Bearings)

← Back to all standards

BS EN 1337-5 is the British adoption of EN 1337-5, the European Standard for structural pot bearings used in civil structures. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What BS EN 1337-5 Covers

It defines the design and manufacturing requirements for pot bearings under the British designation, including load and performance verification.

How the Test Is Run

A pot bearing or its components are loaded on a high-capacity machine to verify load capacity and behaviour against the requirements.

Why It Matters

Verified bearing performance underpins bridge safety; very high force capacity and suitable fixturing are essential.
