MUTAmarq Best Practice, Standards & Accreditation

Setting Standards

MUTAmarq, through its parent association, has been involved in the setting of all of the standards that relate to the industry, many of which it has actually instigated.

Essential reading

• Temporary Demountable Structures from The Institute of Structural Engineers
  (Third edition now published May 2007)
• Fire Safety Risk Assessment - Small and medium places of assembly from Department of Communities and Local Government Guide 6
  (Guide 9, Outdoor Events is now published)
• BS EN 13782:2005 Temporary Structures - Tents - Safety
• MUTAmarq Accreditation full Code
• Specific Code for working at height relating to multi-storey structures. (Now incorporated into the main MUTAmarq Guide)

In early 2008 the HSE recognised the MUTAmarq guide and highly commended its use by contractors and those involved in the procurement of temporay structures.
