Overview
EN 15050:2007/FprA1 is a draft amendment prepared by CEN/TC 229 that updates the European standard for precast concrete products - bridge elements. Submitted under the Unique Acceptance Procedure, the amendment refines the standard's scope, reorganizes definitions, removes selected annex material and clarifies CE marking provisions for precast deck elements.
This amendment is presented in the three official CEN languages (English, French, German) and supports the relationship with EU directives as referenced in Annex ZA.
Key Topics
- Scope revision: The scope paragraph is replaced to explicitly cover precast structural elements produced in a factory and used in bridge construction, citing deck elements and precast arches as examples.
- Removal of abutment and pier paragraphs: The amendment deletes the specific paragraphs that described precast elements for abutments and the standalone pier element paragraph.
- Definitions: The terms abutment and pier (definitions 3.2 and 3.3) are moved after the definition for bearing device and renumbered; this is an editorial reordering without text change.
- Annex changes:
- Deletion of A.5 (Precast arches or vaults) including Figure A.10.
- Modifications in Annex H to remove references such as “and box piers” and the second indent regarding faces of precast abutments in contact with non-aggressive soil.
- Deletion of Annex Y in its entirety.
- ZA.1 / CE marking: The web link in ZA.1 is updated and the annex text is revised to confirm CE marking conditions apply to precast reinforced or prestressed normal-weight concrete used as deck elements in bridge construction, consistent with the amended Clause 1.
Applications
This amendment has practical implications for manufacturers, specifiers and constructors involved with precast bridge components:
- Manufacturers should update declarations and technical documentation to reflect the refined scope and the CE marking applicability to deck elements.
- Specifiers and procurement teams must review contracts and product descriptions where abutments or pier elements were previously referenced under EN 15050 to ensure correct normative references.
- Test houses and conformity assessment bodies should note the deleted annex material and any consequential changes to assessment routes or referenced test information.
Related Standards
- The amendment was prepared by CEN/TC 229 (Precast concrete products) under CEN procedures and the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations.
- For legal and CE marking context, refer to the EU construction product guidance and the informative Annex ZA of EN 15050 as updated by this amendment.
For implementation, stakeholders should consult the full text of EN 15050:2007/FprA1 and monitor formal acceptance and national transposition by CEN members.
