This document applies to single storey houses up to 7.62 m x 12.19 m (25 ft x 40 ft) plan, with hollow block masonry or timber framed walls, and timber framed or concrete roofs.  It provides the user with the technical information to supervise the construction of a safe and durable house, and to facilitate checks on whether a safe and durable house is being built.

This document does not include construction details for utilities (including plumbing, electrical, communications, security, and natural gas.  It also does not include construction details for solid brick masonry.

Prescribes the requirements for metric capacity measures of cylindrical and conical shapes. It is intended for use by manufacturers in manufacturing Metric Capacity Measures thus ensuring all measures of a specified type and capacity will have the same dimensions. These measures are intended for use in normal commercial transactions and are for use in measuring liquids only. 7p. (Price Code B)

This standard specifies inter alia conversion factors to be used in converting quantities measured in Imperial to SI and other units. It sets out procedures for the uniform use for these conversion factors. It is intended for use in everyday operations in government commerce, industry, education certain branches of technology and sport.

This standard sets out general requirements for the contents of advertising, shown or consumed in Caricom Member States, in any medium, whether foreign or locally generated. It also prescribes additional requirements for the following types of advertisements: advertisements of specific classes of goods or services, advertising directed to specific categories of consumers, and advertisements in certain media. This standard also prescribes requirements for the manner of presentation of advertisements.

This standard describes exhaust emission requirements for all new domestic and commercial vehicles which have been registered in Guyana for the first time after December 31, 1997. This standard also describes exhaust emission requirements, measurement methods and measurement equipment for all vehicles, which are imported into Guyana after December 31, 1997. All imported vehicles would be required to conform to exhaust emission limits specified in the standard. Accordingly, the exhaust emission limits must be fully documented and certified by the suppliers/manufacturers, from the country of origin.

This International Standard gives specifications for the angular coordinate system to be used in the design of scales, reticles or other display means incorporated in instruments for determining optical data on human eyes or corrective lenses for human eyes.

 This standard establishes the basic principles for carrying out vibration measurement and processing data, with regard to evaluating vibration effects on buildings. The evaluations of the effects of building vibration are primarily directed at structural response, and include appropriate analytical methods where the frequency, duration and amplitude can be defined. It only deals with the measurement of structural vibration and excludes the measurement of   airborne sound pressure and other pressure fluctuations. 

This standard provides general guidance on methods of carrying out penetrant inspection on materials and components both during manufacture and in service. It does not deal with acceptance or rejection. Penetrant inspection is used to locate discontinuities, such as laps, folds, cracks, porosity and fissures, which are open to the surface of a material or component. Penetrant techniques can be used on materials irrespective of their physical properties, provided that the surface is normally non-absorbent and compatible with the penetrant process.
