BS EN 13331-2:2002 Trench Lining Systems: Assessment by Calculation or Test is a European Standard that provides guidelines for evaluating the compliance of trench lining systems with the requirements set forth in Part 1 of the standard. This second part of the standard focuses on methods of calculation and testing that can be used to assess the conformity of the trench lining system.

This standard is applicable to trench lining systems made primarily from steel, cast iron, and aluminum. It outlines the specific criteria that must be met to ensure the structural integrity and effectiveness of the trench lining system.

The standard emphasizes the importance of both calculation and testing methods in assessing conformity. Calculation methods involve the use of mathematical formulas and principles to determine the suitability and performance of the trench lining system. Testing methods involve subjecting the system to various physical tests to evaluate its strength, durability, and other relevant properties.
