BS EN 1537:2013 is a standard that provides recommendations on the execution of special geotechnical works involving the use of ground anchors. It gives guidance on the technical aspects of using anchors that are grouted into the ground and subjected to stress and testing. The standard applies to both permanent and temporary applications and covers construction and supervision requirements.

This standard is intended for use by various professionals, including engineering geologists, geotechnical and environmental engineers, geotechnical and construction managers, project managers, and health and safety executives. It provides the most up-to-date guidelines and recommendations in line with technological advancements and industry best practices.

One significant change in the standard is that it has been fully revised to align with European standards and the definitions in Eurocode 7, specifically section 8. This ensures that the standard remains current and consistent with European practices for ground anchor execution.
