This British Standard gives guidance for the dimensions of bricks, including those of special shape, made
from clay and calcium silicate, traditionally used in the construction of brick masonry in the UK.
Requirements for bricks are covered by BS EN 771 Parts 1 and 2.
NOTE Derivation of dimensions of special shapes and typical examples of applications of special shapes are shown in Annex C
(Figures C.1 and C.2 and Table C.1).
Annex D gives recommendations for how the principles of the test methods in the BS EN 772 series
of standards are to be applied to high density (HD) clay bricks conforming to BS EN 771-1:2003+A1:2005
with shapes as described in BS 4729. The properties covered are those required to enable the products
to be characterized and CE marked. The table of requirements (reproduced from Table ZA.1.2 of
BS EN 771-1:2003+A1:2005 together with an indication of the relevant clause in Annex D for such
marking) is given in Annex I.
