Classes for concrete properties have besn introduced to cover these situatons. Where such general solutions were not possible, the relevant clauses contain permission for the application of national standards or provisions valid inthe place of use of the concrete, During the development of this European Standard, consideration was given to detailing a performance-re'ated approach to the specifcation of durabilly. For this, 2 review of performance-related design and test methods has been undertaken, However, CEN/TC 10¢ conclucied that these metnods are not yet sufficlent'y developed forthem to be detailed in this standard, but CEN/TC 104 recognized that some CEN Memiere have developed confidence in local tests and criteria. Therefore this standard permits the continuation and development of such practices valid in the place of use of the concrete as an alternative to the prescristive approach. CEN/TC 104 will continue to ‘evelop performance-related methods for asseasing durability at the European level ‘This European Stancard incorporates rules for the use of consttuent materials that are covered by European Standards. Other by-preducts of industrial processes, recycled materials eto. are in current use based on local experience. Until European specifications for these materials are available, this standard will not provide rvias for their use, but insteac reters to national standarcss or provisions valid in the place of use of the conerete, This European Standard defines tasks for the specifier, producer and user. For example, the specifier is Fesponsitie for the specticaten of concrete, Clause 6, and the producer is responsible for conformity and production eontici, Clauses 8 and S, The user is responsible for placing the concrete in the structure. In practice there may be several diferent paries specifying requirements at various stages of the design and construction process e.g, the client, the designer, the contractor, the conoreting sub-contractor. Each is responsible for passing the specified requirements, togetner wth any additional requiremenis, to the next party in the chain untl tney ‘each the producer. In the terms of this European Standard, this finai compilation is known as the “specifcation" Conversely, the specifier, producer and user may be the same party (e.9, a contractor doing design and build), In the case of ready mixed concrete, the purchaser of the fresh concrete is the specifier and has to give the ‘speaifeation to tre producer. This standard also covers the necessary exchange of information between the diferent partes, Contractual matters ere not addressed. Where responsibllies are given fr parties Involved these are technical responsibilities Notes and footnotes in tables of this standard are normative unless stated otherwise: other notes and footnctes are informative Further explanations and guidance on the application of this standard are given in other documents, such as CEN Reports,Barbour Index Construction Expert civil & structural - 28 avr. 2005 - BSEN206 Pt 1 Concrate specification, performance, production and conformity Page 9 4 Scope ‘This European Standard applies to conorete for structures cast in situ, precast structures, and structural precast products for buildings and civil engineering structures. ‘The concrete may be mixed on site, ready-mixed concrete er produced In a plant for precast concrete products. ‘This standard specifies requirements for — the constituent materials of conorete; — the properties of fresh and hardened concrete and their veriieation; — the limitations for concrete composition . — ‘he specification of concrete: — the deivery of fresh concrete; — the production contro! procedures, — the conformiy orteria anc! evaluation of conformity ‘This European Standard applies to concrete compacted to retain no appreciable amount of entrapped alr other than entrained air.
