Sets out standards for lift installations, escalators, fire‑fighting systems, air‑conditioning and mechanical ventilation. standard specification for building works 2020 jkr pdf
The JKR 2020 specification is an evolution of Malaysia’s public engineering standards. It replaces older iterations to integrate modern construction technologies, updated British Standards (BS), European Standards (EN), and Malaysian Standards (MS). Core Purpose
Includes sewerage, water reticulation, rainwater collection, drainage, and internal plumbing systems. Specialist Works (Sections R, T-W): Covering both deep and shallow foundations, this section
Improved guidelines regarding precast concrete components and modular construction techniques.
: This framework harmonizes local construction practices with Malaysian Standards (MS) and British Standards (BS), ensuring that Malaysian infrastructure meets global engineering criteria. Its practical applications are extensive:
Places strong emphasis on waterproofing integrity, wind uplift resistance, and thermal insulation performance standards. Section G: Timber Works
In public procurement, the JKR 2020 specification is legally binding when tied to a contract.
For a project to be compliant, the 2020 specification is typically included as a key contract document in all JKR tenders and contracts. Its practical applications are extensive:
