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.
