scope:

Harmonization of European standards led to the British Standard for aluminium rainwater goods, BS 2997:1958, being withdrawn in 2007 and left the United Kingdom with no standard for its traditional generic styles of aluminium gutter and rainwater pipe systems. This British Standard covers UK styles of traditional cast and extruded aluminium gutters and fittings, together with extruded aluminium rainwater pipes with cast aluminium sockets and fittings, all of which are excluded from BS EN 612 and BS EN 1462.
