Requirements for stairs constructed of one or more of the following materials: blockboard, chipboard, glue-laminated components, hardboard, laminboard, medium density fibreboard, plywood, timber. Cover, straight flight stairs and stairs with quarter and half landings, intended primarily for use inside one-family dwellings.

This Part of BS 585 specifies performance requirements for domestic stairs constructed from certain wood-based materials (see clause 4).

It applies to straight flight stairs and stairs with quarter and half landings, intended primarily for use inside one-family dwellings, but excludes stairs having flights with winder treads.

NOTE 1 For guidance on design of stairs with straight flights, see BS 5395-1.

NOTE 2 Appendix D describes a recommended test method for vibration of stairs. Reference may be made to BRE Digest 278 “Vibrations, buildings and human response??¹⁾.

NOTE 3 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
