The UK National Annex to Eurocode 9, titled "Design of aluminium structures - General structural rules," provides specific requirements and guidance for the design of aluminium structures in the UK. It should be used in conjunction with other parts of Eurocode 9 to ensure compliance with safety and serviceability standards.

The standard covers the design of buildings, civil engineering works, and structural elements made of aluminium. It aligns with Eurocode 0 - Basis of structural design, which sets out the principles and requirements for the design and verification of structures.

BS EN 1999-1-1 addresses various aspects of aluminium structures, including resistance, serviceability, durability, and fire resistance. It primarily focuses on wrought aluminium alloys, while also offering limited guidance for cast alloys.

The intended users of this standard include owners of construction works, designers, contractors, and relevant authorities. It helps owners define their specific requirements, guides designers and contractors in their design process, and assists authorities in assessing compliance.

The UK National Annex provides the necessary decisions and information specific to the UK context. It covers nationally determined parameters, the status of informative annexes in BS EN 1999-1-1:2007, and references to non-contradictory complementary information (NCCI). These decisions and references ensure that the standard is applicable and reliable within the UK.
