Abstract
The British Standard Code of Practice for noise control on construction and demolition sites has been in existence for 21 years. In that time, it has evolved and been expanded to cover both other open site activities and also to include vibration. This paper considers the evolution and some of the thought processes and driving forces to implement the changes which have occurred. It also reviews experience of the use of the Code and perceived shortfalls, and whether these have any material impact on the Code's validity. Experience has shown that the Code has stood the test of time and served the construction industry well, particularly where it has been more widely used on major development and infrastructure projects.
