BSEN and PSA compared?

The PSA specification gives clarity on the suitability of each grade for specific applications. BSEN does not.

The PSA provides loading requirements for the pedestals at both centre and quadrants and takes account of pedestal height.

The BSEN accounts only for vertical loading and ignores pedestal height. The PSA specifies that products must be independently tested and certified - individually and as a complete system for 24 hours, resulting in a mandatory 25-year product guarantee.

No guarantee is required under BSEN, which relies solely upon in-house testing and self-certification.
