Introduction
The Building Regulations 2010 (BR10) are divided into two columns. The column on the left (this column) contains the legal requirements, i.e. the legally binding regulations, and the column on the right contains guideline sketches and comments on the legal requirements. The Building Regulations also comprise six appendices. Drawings in the guidance column are only to be taken as examples.
In addition to the guidance set out in the column on the right the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority has drawn up guidance relating to particular areas which are governed by the Building Regulations. This guidance is posted on the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority’s website www.bygningsreglementet.dk. In addition to the guidance issued by the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority, SBi (the Danish Building Research Institute) has drawn up SBi Guidelines 230, Guidelines on Building Regulations 2010. These guidelines can be used as an aid to interpreting the requirements of the Building Regulations. The SBi Guidelines refer inter alia to standards, instructions and other background material which provides more detailed information. The SBi Guidelines are posted on the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority’s website www.bygningsreglementet.dk an online version is available at www.sbi.dk and a paper version from SBi. See www.byggevareinfo.dk for information on current standards, construction products, CE marking etc.
