Technical avalanche protection - Impacts, dimensioning and maintenance
This ÖNORM is applicable for all protective structures in the range of permanent technical avalanche protection. It determines designations, definitions and procedure for the determination of static and dynamic effects for avalanche protective structures.
This ÖNORM regulates the protection structures in avalanche starting zones (snowpack-stabilizing works,and snow drift construction), measures in the avalanche track and in the avalanche deposition area (eg avalanche catching and deflection dams, avalanche protection galleries).
The regulation provides the basis for a consistent approach to the monitoring, control and maintenance of avalanche protection structures.

Frequently Asked Questions about ÖNORM B 4801
When you purchase a standard from the Austrian Standards webshop (e.g. ÖNORM, ISO), a single-user licence is included as standard. This entitles a single person to use the standard. A multi-user licence is required if several employees need access. It enables company-wide, legally compliant use and sharing of standards.
Standardization thrives on expertise and participation. Anyone interested can play an active role in its further development – for example, by joining the relevant committee or a working group. In this way, you can help shape the content and contribute to advancing the state of the art.
If you have an extensive portfolio of standards, we recommend using a professional standards management tool. With effects 2.0, you can manage your standards centrally and efficiently. You can optimise your procurement processes and benefit from an integrated information and subscription service. This ensures you are always up to date and never miss any relevant developments.
