In the 2005 Metric Code:

In Section 7.6.5 it states that flexural reinforcement shall not be spaced farther than 450 mm apart.

In Section 7.12.2.2 it states that shrinkage and temperature reinforcemenet shall not be spaced farther apart than 450 mm.

I do not have the 2002 metric code. Do you guys know in what code did the spacing changed from 500 mm to 450 mm for these two sections?
