Rules & Standards

The BAW’s core tasks include the participation in updating and further developing standards for the construction, maintenance and operation of waterways. The focus of the BAW’s standardisation work is mainly on rules and standards that are applied in waterways engineering.

Further information is available on the web portal of the Hydraulic Engineering Information Centre (IZW) where codes, technical recommendations and guidelines are published, such as the Technische Regelwerk Wasserstraßen (TR-W) and the Standardleistungskatalog für den Wasserbau (STLK-W).
