British Standard for Granite
Discussion
Afternoon, I'm looking for a copy of the BS 5204-2:1977 paper for granite specs, if anyone would be able to furnish me with a copy?
I've already been on the website standardsuk.com, but they don't have a downloadable version annoyingly, and living in Bangkok the postage will take too long.
I know it's a BIG ask as it's an expensive document, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just emailed over the 2 you were looking for (and the other 3 you referenced).
There are loads of standards covering granite - granite denomination (BS EN 12440) - Design, spec and installation of granite for pavements (BS7533:2010) - Testing of granite (EN1341), even a BS for headstones.....

The plan is to sell the granite in Qatar for the World Cup Construction projects they've got going on for 2022. I already have a friend who is a project manager out there that gave me the complete ASTM and the QCS 2007, but to get the contracts you have to work within the strict guidelines of all three standards.

If you get the time I would like to see the Testing of Granite file that you mentioned to see how it compares to the ASTM standards, as I should think the tests must be pretty similar for, the flexural strength, the abrasion resistance, the density, the water absorbtion, and the skid resistance.
The main purpose I see my granite used for is walls and flooring of buildings.
Edited to add this;
BS 5390:1976 - WITHDRAWN (replaced by BS 5628-3:2001) Would you happen to have this replacement?
