CE-marking to the EN 1504 series, has begun. This process is set to change
the future direction of the concrete repair industry.
EN 1504 will affect the asset owner, as well as the specifier, contractor
and manufacturer. For the first time a Standard exists that addresses all stages
of the repair process, from initial awareness of a problem, to the handover
of a properly designed and executed repair of the building to a satisfied
client, incorporating the use of products and systems that are approved
as meeting minimum performance requirements for a range of repair
applications. However, guidance is still needed on its use and interpretation.
EN 1504 assumes the reader is competent in the field of concrete inspection,
diagnosis, repair scheme development and material specification, which may
not necessarily be the case.
Further details of EN 1504 may be obtained from the UK Concrete Repair
Association website and joint CPA/Institute of Corrosion/Concrete Society
publications.
