BS EN 1504

CRL is fully compliant BS EN 1504, which covers the whole concrete repair process, from the initial identification of a problem, through to the works on site. It requires that a ‘whole life cost’ approach is taken so that the anticipated future needs if the client is met.

BS EN 1504 covers:

• Specifies minimum performance levels
• Provides identifiable performance testing
• Provides standardised approach to design
• Raises application standards
• Removes technical barriers to trade
• Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures
• Definitions, requirements, quality control and evaluation of conformity
• Site application of products and systems and quality control of the works

BS EN 1504 went live September 2006. As of December 2008 compliance with BS EN 1504 becomes a mandatory requirement.
