What is this standard about?

BS 8576 provides guidance on the monitoring and sampling of ground gases including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and permanent gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and oxygen. 

It is intended to be used in conjunction with BS 10175 Investigation of potentially contaminated sites - Code of Practice.

Who is this standard for?

  • Local authorities
  • Building regulators, house builders
  • Site engineers/investigators
  • Contaminated land officers and pollution specialists
  • Waste and environmental/health and safety specialists
  • Energy/gas industry

Why should you use this standard?

BS 8576 provides guidance related to site investigations, specifically covering the monitoring and sampling of various gases. Use of the standard should help reduce the potential risks to people, buildings and the environment from contaminated land and brownfield sites where toxic gases exist.

On redevelopment sites emissions now have to be monitored properly to ensure they meet UK safety regulations. Inadequate investigation for ground gas can result in refusal of planning permission or delays. This standard, used in conjunction with BS 10175, provides guidance to ensure the very latest UK requirements are met.
