BS 1139-1.1:1990
Foreword
This Section of BS 1139 has been prepared under the direction of the Civil
Engineering and Building Structures Standards Policy Committee. Together
with BS 1139-1.2:1990, it supersedes BS 1139-1:1982, which is withdrawn.
This Section of BS 1139 is one of a series specifying requirements for the design,
construction and testing of equipment for use in scaffolding and other temporary
structures. It specifies requirements for steel tubing of the type traditionally used
in tubular scaffolding and false-work. Recommendations for the design of tubular
scaffolding structures are given in BS 5973 and BS 5974.
This standard was previously published as Part 1 of BS 1139:1982 which also
contained specifications for aluminium scaffold tube. With the exception of
specifying one wall thickness only (i.e. 4 mm), this standard technically aligns
with European Harmonization Document HD 1039.
Tubing complying with this British Standard also complies with the
requirements for type 4 only of HD 1039, and therefore can be classified and
marked “EN 39” (see clauses 8 and 9).
BS 1139 is now published in separate Parts and Sections as follows.
— Part 1: Tubes;
— Section 1.1: Specification for steel tube;
— Section 1.2: Specification for aluminium tube;
— Part 2: Couplers;
— Section 2.1: Specification for steel couplers, loose spigots and base plates for
use in working scaffolds and falsework made of steel tubes
(Identical with HD 74);
— Section 2.21): Specification for steel and aluminium couplers, fittings and
accessories for use in tubular scaffolding;
— Part 3: Specification for prefabricated access and working towers;
— Part 4: Specification for prefabricated steel splitheads and trestles;
— Part 52): Specification for materials, dimensions, design loads and safety
requirements for service and working scaffolds made of prefabricated elements
(Identical with HD 1000).
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

3)
Tubes should be provided with a permanent protection against corrosion before being put into use in falsework or scaffolds.

9 Marking
The marking shall be legible after the protective
coating has been applied4).
Tubes shall be marked by impressing at intervals
not exceeding 1,5 m. The height of the characters
shall be at least 4 mm and the impression at
least 0,2 mm deep.
4)
Tubes should be marked before being put into use in falsework or scaffolds.

This value is provisional; it may be changed after sufficient experience of testing has been obtained.

3 The coating has flaked along the edges of the cuts partly or
wholly in large ribbons, and/or it has flaked partly or
wholly on different parts of the squares. A cross-cut area
distinctly greater than 15 %, but not distinctly greater
than 35 % is affected.
4 The coating has flaked along the edges of the cuts in large
ribbons and/or some squares have detached partly or
wholly. A cross-cut area distinctly greater than 35 %, but
not distinctly greater than 65 % is affected.
5 Any degree of flaking that cannot even be classified by
classification 4.
