-
fabricated from natural stone and/or concrete; and
-
installed above and below the natural ground surface; and
-
whose total mass does not exceed 4 t.
It also specifies requirements for checking the condition of existing monuments.
This British Standard is intended for use by burial authorities and monumental masons concerned with the installation and reinstatement of monuments and the checking of existing monuments within burial grounds or memorial sites. It does not set out to constrain artistic endeavour.
NOTE Annex A of this standard contains recommended inscription information on monuments. Annex B contains requirements for the checking of existing monuments.
