Pedestrian guardrail standards

The current British Standard for pedestrian guardrails in the UK is BS 7818:1995.

There are a few specifications necessary to meet British Standard requirements depending on the circumstances of your guardrail project. 

You can find more details on the BS 7818:1995 requirements on this page.

One basic requirement for all guardrails for pedestrian safety is that they consist of two horizontal rails and reach a height of at least 1050mm height above ground. The M1, SM1, M2 and SM2 pedestrian guardrail all comply with these guidelines.
