British Standards cover many aspects of fencing, including the manufacture and galvanising of wire, the preservation of timber and the methods of fence erection. These standards are mainly of interest to manufacturers of fencing materials and components, and to specifiers of fencing for building contracts, road schemes and other works. Fencing which qualifies for grant aid may need to comply with certain British Standards. The Norme Européenne (EN) system also applies to some fencing standards.

General information and a list of standards are available on the British Standards website (www.bsi-global.com), with further details available to subscribers. County Libraries should hold a copy of all British Standards, either in leaflet form, or on CD-ROM.
