BS EN 1991-1-1:2002, also known as Eurocode 1 - Actions on Structures: General Actions - Densities, Self-Weight, Imposed Loads for Buildings, is a standard that provides guidelines for the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works. It is part of the Eurocode 1 series, which sets out the actions and loads that need to be considered during the design process.

The standard covers various aspects related to actions on structures, including the densities of construction materials and stored materials, the self-weight of construction works, and the imposed loading for buildings. It provides classification of actions, defining the differences between self-weight and imposed loads. It also explains design situations and provides guidance on the densities of different materials used in construction.

BS EN 1991-1-1 is essential for civil engineers, construction engineers, site managers, architects, site inspectors, and regulatory bodies involved in the design, construction, and inspection of buildings and civil engineering works. It provides a comprehensive and standardized approach to consider the various actions and loads that may act on a structure, ensuring safety and reliability in the design process.
