Standards

This standard applies to persons who carry out any of the business of cosmetology ,hairdressing ,barbering, shaving, manicure, pedicure, facial, body massaging and like crafts.

This Code specifies provisions for fire protection and control of buildings and the classification of all buildings and structures based on occupancy, use and type of construction.

This Code of Practice specifies the requirements for good plumbing practice for water supply and distribution, and sewerage

This Code provides guidance on the use of Guyanese timber species for construction purposes. It includes recommendations on quality, engineering properties and the various design considerations and principles for simple members, build-up components, composite structures and sub-structures incorporating other materials. Requirements and recommendations for sound construction and typical details for residential construction are also included. Further, recommendations for the design of heavy engineered structures, nailed, screwed, and bolted joints are also presented

This Code of Practice specifies the requirements for concrete and block masonry used in structures or buildings.

The term “Steel Structures” relates to structural members and frames which consist primarily of structural steel components, including the detailed parts, welds, bolts or other fasteners required in fabrication and erection. Composition construction, defined as construction which depends upon the participation of structural elements of steel and other materials in resisting loads and forces jointly with structural members, is permitted under this section of the Code. This Code deals with the design and construction of steel buildings which should be carried out mainly in accordance with the recommendations of Part 2, Section 7B “Structural Design Requirements – Structural Steel – Working Stress Design” of the Caribbean Unified Building Code (CUBIC), 1985 The general requirements for construction of light gauge steel framed structures have been derived from recommendations of the Dominican Building Code, while the requirements for the construction of small houses using light steel frame construction have been derived from the Dominican Building Guidelines

This code gives recommendations for the design, location, construction, and maintenance  of  VIP Latrine as a sanitary household solution for human excreta.

This standard prescribes the requirements and methods of sampling and test for liquid, crème paste and gel shampoo. The requirements include those for liquid shampoos based on soap as well as those based on synthetic detergents. This standard does not cover body shampoos.

When a term is used in an ASTM document for which Committee F17 is responsible it is included only when judged, after review , by Subcommittee F17.91 to be a generally usable term.

 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.
