Summary:

This document provides a list, volume by volume, of the current documents of the Design

Manual for Roads and Bridges, as implemented in Ireland. It also provides an index in alpha-

numeric order.

This document is updated regularly and may be used as a check of the current status of the

DMRB and the implementation documents. Recent changes are listed on Pages 26 to 29.

Appendix A includes a description of what constitutes a Departure and provides details on

submitting a Departure including what information the application should contain. (The

relevant application forms are also included within the appendix).

1. CONTENTS

Documents Available for Use in Ireland

1.1 The UK DMRB, Standards are designated by the letters BD, BE, HD, SH or TD and Advice Notes by

the letters BA, HA and TA.

1.2 The Standards and Advice Notes of Volumes 1 to 9 of the UK DMRB, as listed in Tables 1 to 9, are

applicable in Ireland as amended by the NRA Addendum to each document. All references to the UK

DMRB Standards and Advice Notes shall be read as references to the documents as implemented in

accordance with the relevant NRA Addendum.

The Standards and Advice Notes of Volume 0 and Volumes 10 to 15 of the UK DMRB are not implemented

for use in Ireland although some elements may be cross referenced by the NRA Environmental Assessment

and Construction Guidelines and by the NRA Project Appraisal Guidelines.

1.3 NRA Standards or other documents that are indicated by * replace equivalent UK DMRB documents.

1.4 UK DMRB Standards and Advice Notes indicated in italics are not formally implemented by the

NRA but should be considered as 'background reading'indicating goodpractice for the activity, or materials,

under consideration. Users of these documents must make due allowance for any differences from UK

circumstances.

Some UK DMRB Standards and Advice Notes are specifically excluded from the NRA DMRB. These are

considered as conflicting with current practice in Ireland (or be of no relevance) and are listed in the Tables

1a to 9a. They should, accordingly, not be referred to.

In some cases the NRA DMRB continues to reference parts of the UK DMRB that have been superseded or

withdrawn from the UK DMRB. The relevant UK DMRB document date of these parts is highlighted by the

use of an 'antique text'style

2. ALPHA-NUMERIC INDEX

This Index lists, in alpha-numeric order, the documents in the DMRB as implemented in Ireland, together

with their references and date of issue. All information is current at January 2009.

Series

The following series of Standards and Advice Notes are listed:

BA Advice NotesBridges and Structures

BD StandardsBridges and Structures

BE Technical Memorandum - Bridges

HA Advice NotesRoads

HD StandardsRoads

TA Advice NotesTraffic Engineering and Control

TD StandardsTraffic Engineering and Control

- NRA Introductions to Volumes

Notes:

1. This index lists documents relating to the DMRB which have been adopted for use in Ireland. Withthe exception of those Standards and Advice Notes which are for background reading only, DMRB

documents which have not been implemented in Ireland are not listed.

2. Standards and Advice Notes which have been prepared by the National Roads Authority to replacethe equivalent UK DMRB documents are prefixed with NRA and shown with an asterisk (forexample, NRA BD 2/01*). They are included in the relevant parts of the index.

3. All Standards and Advice Notes of the UK DMRB which have been adopted for use in Irelandhave a corresponding NRA Addendum which describes particular requirements of the National

Roads Authority. The date of the current NRA Addendum is given for each document.

4. The DMRB Part number is given for each document to assist in locating it within the manual.These numbers are in the form Volume.Section.Part (e.g. 1.3.5). However, documents issuedbefore the compilation of the UK DMRB in 1992 (and some later ones) do not have Part numbers;

they are identified by Volume and Section and are generally placed at the end of the relevant

Section. Also, in some instances several documents have the same Part number.

5. The documents listed in Tables 1 and 3 have been published since the issue of the previous editionof the NRA Alpha-Numeric Index.

6. Lists of the documents withdrawn since the previous edition of the NRA Alpha-Numeric Index areincluded in Tables 2 and 4. These documents should be archived as appropriate.
