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).

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In some cases the NRA DMRB continues to reference parts of the UK DMRB that have been superseded or
withdrawn from the UK DMRB.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