Guidance and standards relied on

These are not law. HSE guidance carries no statutory force in itself, British Standards and NASC technical guidance are industry documents, and the Joint Code of Practice is an insurers' code. They are what the document is built to — and where a court would look for the standard of the reasonable contractor.

• BS EN 12350-2:2019 and BS EN 12390-2:2019 (test methods, not statutory)
