What is this standard about?
It covers the technical rules that apply to the production of concrete for structures designed in accordance with BS EN 1992-1-1, the European standard on designing concrete structures. These rules apply whether the concrete is ready-mixed, site mixed, or used in pre-cast elements.
Who is this standard for?
It should be used by anyone on a construction project who provides or requires information on concrete, including:
- Construction contractors, specialists and manufacturers

Why should you use this standard?
Part 1 provides five approaches for specifying concrete. They are:
- Designated concretes
- Designed concretes
- Prescribed concretes
- Standardized prescribed concretes
- Proprietary concretes
Part 2 contains specifications for constituent materials and concrete.
What’s changed since the last update?
