Going = G = 300mm
Nosing is 25mm.
Cover
BS 8110-1:1997 For durability requirements: Assume mild exposure conditions.
Table 3.3 Nominal Cover required is 20mm.
BS 8110-1:1997 For fire requirements: Assume 2 hour fire resistance
Table 3.4 Nominal Cover required is 25mm
Hence Select a cover of 25mm. Cover 25mm
