Overview

EN 1799:1998 is a CEN standard within the suite for products and systems used in the protection and repair of concrete structures. It specifies test methods to measure the suitability of structural bonding agents when applied to both vertical and horizontal concrete surfaces. The standard supports objective evaluation of adhesive performance for repair and restoration projects.

This standard is intended for testing laboratories, manufacturers of bonding agents and adhesives, specifiers, and contractors involved in concrete repair and rehabilitation.

Key Topics

• Scope and purpose: Methods to test suitability of structural bonding agents for application to concrete surfaces (vertical and horizontal).
• Suitability criteria: Focus on adhesion and application performance relevant to repair operations and durable bond formation. The standard provides a framework to judge a bonding agent's practical use on concrete substrates.
• Quality assurance: Methods support product validation, batch testing and comparative assessment during product development or procurement.

Keywords: structural bonding agents, concrete surfaces, test methods, adhesion, repair, durability, vertical surfaces, horizontal surfaces, quality control.

Applications

EN 1799:1998 is used across the construction repair chain for practical decision-making:

• Manufacturers: to demonstrate product suitability and support technical data for bonding agents intended for concrete repair.
• Testing laboratories: to carry out standardized assessments that inform conformity claims and technical reports.
• Engineers and specifiers: to select adhesives and bonding systems based on reproducible test results for vertical and horizontal applications.
• Contractors and repair crews: to guide product choice for durable repairs and to validate on-site bonding performance when paired with appropriate surface preparation.

Benefits of applying the standard include improved product selection, consistent quality control, and clearer communication between suppliers, laboratories and clients regarding adhesion performance and expected durability in repair works.

Related Standards

EN 1799:1998 forms part of broader standards addressing protection and repair of concrete structures and adhesive systems. Relevant complementary documents include other EN standards and technical specifications on:

• Concrete repair materials and systems
• Test methods for adhesives and bonding performance
• Durability and performance assessment of repair interventions

Consult national standards bodies or CEN publications for the definitive list of related EN standards and the latest editions or amendments.

For implementation, pair EN 1799:1998 testing with documented surface preparation, substrate assessment and project-specific performance requirements to ensure reliable and durable concrete repairs.
