About EN 1504: Introduction

The European standard EN 1504 deals with products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures and aims to provide information to all of those involved with the repair of concrete. Not only by specifying product requirements but also by defining concrete repair strategies, methods and definitions, quality control and evaluation of conformity, EN 1504 ensures good quality repair and protection work on the jobsite, which will result in increasing satisfaction of the building owners. The 10 parts of EN 1504 form a comprehensive document which helps specifying engineers, contractors as well as product manufacturing companies. Each part of the norm is set-up in a similar way, with the product and manufacturing related parts being extended with specific issues such as product requirements, performance characteristics, sampling, evaluation of conformity and CE-marking and labelling.
