Go to the library website and login using ur username on card and ur pin.
Access 24 hour library and scroll down to where it says references or something like that.
When it reloads sure it has a link to British Standards.
Found it easily enough the first time but then struggled but I updated my account (there's a link that asks u)
Signed in again on the right hand side bar then had no problem finding links to British standards, then just search 5385
Easy!!!! Haha

Just a little thought!
With many new tilers having been on tiler training courses and many of them are hopefully members here. Wasn't reading through the BS and being instructed on its meaning and application in practice part of the course?

No.
It's not even a must as part of the NVQ.

Has anyone managed to get to the actual documents?
i' ve registered and got the card, logged in, but can't find the documents, although i've tried to follow the instructions above...

You just login to British Standards Online (BSOL) and use the Library login details I think? Just run a search then for "Wall and Floor Tiling" or "BS5385"

I had to do full registration once in, then go to 24hr library and access BS there, might be under references or something.
If u struggle I'll look tonight.

I'd have to have a look for you when I get more time matey. I'm a bit busy today.

The Newcastle Library girl I was emailing was really helpful. Use their contact form on their library website and ask how to access them. Then copy and paste her reply here! lol
