This part of BS 8204 gives recommendations for constituent materials, design, work on site, inspection and
testing of in situ concrete direct finished base slabs, with concrete as the wearing surface, and wearing
screeds (formerly known as high strength concrete toppings and granolithic toppings). It applies to both
ground-supported floors and suspended floors.
BS 8204 does not provide guidance on the structural design of ground-supported or suspended floors.
Information on this aspect is given in references [3] and [5] and in BS 8110-1.The recommendations in this code of practice relate to those other aspects of the design of concrete floors
that affect the performance of their wearing surfaces.
