21 - Annex E: 2016
In March of 2016 the NSAI published the updated version of Standard Recommendation 21 (S.R. 21.)
With the exception of Annex E, each of these Annexes will refer you to the NRA Specification
for Roadworks which will give more detailed information on the specified requirements for each material.
The NSAI have also published I.S 888:2016:Code of Practice for the procurement and use of unbound granular
fill hardcore material for use under concrete floors.
It specifies requirements for post manufacturing operations of unbound granular fill (hardcore) for use under
concrete floors and footpaths such as procurement, haulage, delivery and receipt, storage and handling,
placing, traceability and record management, with an aim of improving the chain of custody within the supply
chain and ensuring the complete traceability of hardcore suitable for this particular end-use, from the original
manufacture and source of the location where it is incorporated into the works.

NOTE 2 The supplier should additionally declare the typical grading of the product - this supplier declared value (SDV)
should lie within the SDV grading range. However, the SDV together with the relevant tolerances, is used solely
