PAS 1188-2:2009 Flood protection products. Specification. Part 2: Temporary products
PAS 1188-2 specifies requirements for the designation, testing, factory production control, installation documentation and marking for different types and configurations of temporary flood protection products.
A temporary flood protection product is defined as a removable flood protection product that is wholly installed during or following warning of a flood event and removed completely when water levels have receded. It is for use away from buildings but may be sealed against structures or buildings at section ends.
PAS 1188-2 is for use in the UK or locations with similar exposures, i.e. where there is a temperate climate and advance warning of flooding is available.
Together with PAS 1188-4:2009, this part of PAS 1188 replaces PAS 1188-2:2003, which is now withdrawn.
For flood protection products certified against PAS 1188-2:2003, you are advised to discuss transition arrangements with your certification body.
This PAS is not applicable to flood protection products for installation across building apertures such as individual doors, windows, air bricks and air vents or around buildings; these are covered by PAS 1188-1 and PAS 1188-3.
This PAS does not apply to demountable flood protection products which are designed to be part of a permanent defence solution and are covered by PAS 1188-4.
This PAS does not specifically test flood protection products for coastal conditions. Where flood protection products are intended for coastal conditions, advice on suitability should be obtained from the manufacturer.
