2003-11: This standard was proposed in the revised answer to the mandate M/115, under general comments.

This document specifies the requirements for uncoated high strength steel strands or zinc or zinc alloy coated high strength steel strands, encapsulated with a protection product and a sheath 1).
The intended use of these products is mainly the prestressing of concrete.
NOTE   These products can also be used in other stress applications in the construction field (e.g. stay cables for bridges) where the protection of the products is not removed in use.
The standard applies only to products as supplied by the producer.
1) The word "sheath" used in the present document does not cover the sheaths as stated in mandate M/115 and specified in EN 523.

This European Standard specifies requirements for galvanized (hot-dip zinc coated) reinforcing steel in the form of bars, coils (rod, wire), welded fabric and lattice girder for the reinforcement of concrete.
It specifies seven classes of coating, class A to class G, corresponding to different coating masses (see 9.5.4).
This specification may also be understood to cover other classes of coating whose details are not stated in this edition of the standard but whose specified values of properties are defined consistenly with Clause 9 and the conformity of which is carried out according to Clause 10.
This European Standard does not apply to galvanized (hot-dip zinc coated) reinforcement for prestressing or components of these reinforcements.

This part of ISO 15630 specifies test methods applicable to welded fabric for the reinforcement of concrete. For those tests not specified in this part of ISO 15630 (e.g. bend test, rib/indentation geometry, mass per metre), ISO 15630-1 is applicable.

This European Standard specifies the properties of aggregates and filler aggregates obtained by processing natural, manufactured or recycled materials and mixtures of these aggregates for use in hydraulically bound and unbound materials for civil engineering works and road constructions. It covers aggregates having an oven dried particle density greater than 2,0 Mg/m3 (2000Kg/m3). It also covers recycled aggregates with particle densities greater than 1,50 Mg/m3 (1 500 kg/m3) with appropriate caveats
and recycled fine aggregate with appropriate caveats. A list of the source materials that have been considered and indicating those which are within the scope of this standard is given in Annex A (normative). Requirements for the evaluation of conformity of the products to this European Standard are given in EN 16236. It incorporates a general requirement that aggregates will not release any dangerous substances in excess of the maximum permitted levels specified in a relevant European Standard for the material or permitted in the national regulations of the member state of destination. The tables in this standard include categories which are common across the four main aggregate standards: EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 and EN 13242. Not all of these categories are appropriate for aggregates for use in hydraulically bound and unbound materials for civil engineering works and road constructions. Categories, notes, comments etc, which are shown grey shaded should not be used for aggregates for use in hydraulically bound and unbound materials for civil engineering works and road constructions. Aggregates used in construction should comply with all the requirements of the relevant European Standards for aggregates. These standards include comprehensive and specific requirements for natural aggregates, iron and steel making slag and recycled aggregates, dealing with, for example, the stability of certain basalts, the expansion of certain slags and the constitution of recycled aggregates. For materials from some other secondary sources, however, work is ongoing and the requirements are incomplete. In the meantime, such materials, when placed on the market as aggregates, should conform fully to this standard but may also be required to conform to specific relevant additional requirements at the place of use. Additional characteristics and requirements may be specified on a case by case basis depending upon experience of use of the product, and defined in specific contractual documents. NOTE 1 Requirements for lightweight aggregates are specified in prEN 13055. Requirements for the declaration of the potential of aggregates to release regulated dangerous substances are currently under development. Until such time as these are finalised, attention should be paid to requirements at the place of use. NOTE 2 Requirements for hydraulically bound and unbound materials for civil engineering works are specified in EN 13285 and are not therefore covered in this standard. EN 13285 does however call up the general requirements of EN 13242 for the aggregates.
