Common rules for precast concrete products

Scope

This document provides the specifications, the basic performance criteria and the Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) for unreinforced, reinforced and prestressed precast concrete products made of compact light-, normal- and heavyweight concrete according to EN 206 with no appreciable amount of entrapped air other than entrained air. Concrete containing fibres for other than mechanical properties (steel, polymer or other fibres) is also covered. It does not cover precast reinforced components of lightweight aggregate concrete with open structure nor glass-fibre reinforced concrete.
It can also be used to specify products for which there is no standard. Not all of the specifications (Clause 4) of this document are relevant to all precast concrete products.
Some European product standards refer to this document. They can include specific provisions that take precedence over the provisions of this document.
