ISO 13033:2013 PDF Download

ISO 13033:2013 is a standard that provides guidance on how to determine seismic actions on nonstructural components and systems (NSCS) in buildings. These NSCS include architectural elements, mechanical and electrical systems, and building contents. The standard also includes procedures for verifying the seismic capacities of NSCS.

It is important to note that ISO 13033:2013 is not a legally binding code, but rather a source document that is used in the development of codes of practice by authorities responsible for structural design regulations. The objective is to ensure the seismic performance of NSCS in buildings.

While ISO 13033:2013 does not specifically cover industrial facilities, such as nuclear power plants, it provides principles that can be used for deriving seismic actions for NSCS in these types of facilities. This standard serves as a valuable resource for regional and national standards committees when developing standards for the seismic performance of NSCS.
