Default Old manhole cover rating

I am trying to find out what the load rating of an old cast iron
manhole cover marked:

24 x 18 BSS 02 26 GF

is ?

The size is obvious but cant find any reference to old BS standards.

It has been damaged by a contractor and there is a "dispute" about
what loading/grade they should replace it with !
Thanks


The cheapest galvanised ones from B&Q are 2T rated, IE rated to carry 2
tonnes, more than enough for a domestic drive
