Overview
EN 1065:1998 (adopted as SIST EN 1065:2000) is a European Standard that defines requirements for adjustable telescopic steel props used on construction sites. The standard covers product specification, material selection, design requirements, corrosion protection options, production control and the methods for assessment by calculation and testing. It applies to both open-thread and covered-thread props intended for temporary support and shoring applications.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: Coverage for adjustable telescopic steel props intended for construction use (open-thread and covered-thread types).
- Materials: Requirements for steel and related component materials to ensure mechanical integrity and durability.
- Design requirements: Parameters and criteria designers must follow to size and detail props safely for expected loads.
- Corrosion protection alternatives: Acceptable protective treatments/coatings and their role in service life and maintenance.
- Production control: Manufacturer responsibilities for consistent quality through factory production control and documentation.
- Assessment methods: Procedures for verifying mechanical performance by calculations (design checks, load capacity, buckling) and by tests (type testing, verification of components and assemblies).
- Types covered: Distinction between open thread and covered thread adjustable props and implications for performance and safety.
Applications
EN 1065 is intended to ensure the safe and reliable use of steel props in construction site tasks such as:
- Temporary shoring and support of slabs, beams and formwork
- Vertical support during repair, refurbishment and alteration works
- General construction prop applications where adjustable axial support is required
Typical users and stakeholders:
- Manufacturers of steel props (product design and production control)
- Structural engineers and designers specifying temporary supports and verifying capacity
- Test laboratories performing product verification and type tests
- Construction contractors, site supervisors and procurement officers specifying compliant props for site use
Related Standards
- EN 1065:1998 (original CEN reference) - adopted nationally as SIST EN 1065:2000
- Other CEN/CEN-related standards covering construction equipment, scaffolding and formwork may be referenced for complementary requirements (check national standards bodies for applicable cross-references).
