The NASC announce a free update for TG20:13 and eGuide.

The National Access And Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) has updated its TG20:13 good practice guidance for tube and fitting scaffolding with a new document entitled Supplement 1. The document is available as a free download from the NASC website as a PDF and is accompanied by an eGuide software update entitled Version 1.1.

Principal features of the update are as follows:

A specification for TG20:13 compliant 3.2mm wall thickness cold-formed high tensile steel tubes to BS EN 10219-1;
An amendment to the sign off section of compliance sheets to state that illustrations are indicative;
Clarification regarding ties to the inner face of the scaffold only;
Compliance sheets for sheeted scaffolds with transom units;
Compliance sheets for scaffolds of 2.0m, 3.0m or 4.0m height;
Clarification regarding the horizontal spacing of ties for scaffolds with a maximum bay length less than 2.0m.
Terry Roberts of CADS (technical authors of TG20:13) said:

“The NASC recommends that compliance sheets from the new eGuide are always used. However, the update has been designed in such a way that compliance sheets from the original eGuide (and from the TG20:13 Operational Guide) remain valid, so there is no need to differentiate between new and original compliance sheets on site.”

Robin James, NASC Managing Director added:

“These updates to TG20:13 demonstrates the commitment of the NASC to the continual improvement of TG20:13 to meet the demands of the UK scaffolding industry. The NASC advises that all existing users of TG20:13 should download this new version of the TG20:13 eGuide together with the accompanying document Supplement 1.”
