Table 11.2
lists the main clause headings in EN 1504-9, as issued on 31

•
identification of the specific properties required of the materials to be
used in the repair.
Table 11.3
summarises the common steps in the process of assessment,
specification, site execution and maintenance and monitoring of structures

EN 1504-9, along with other Parts of the EN 1504 series as appropriate, are
also listed in column 1.

normative text, supplemented by an informative Annex A that has common
clause numbers with the normative section and provides informative comment
on the normative text. For those not familiar with the language of European
Standards, an informative Annex gives supplementary information, the use
