    Specifies the minimum requirements for the design and testing of fixed overhead runway beams made from rolled sections of steel complying with BS 4360. It applies to the runway beams and their components only; it does not apply to supporting structures, to travelling trolleys, and lifting appliances operating on the beams, or to crane gantries or rails.
