European foreword

and related products”, the secretariat of which is held by SN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.

Introduction

EN 17678-2 supersedes CEN Workshop Agreement CWA 14646:2003 “Requirements for the installation

of post-tensioning kits for prestressing of structures and qualification of specialist company and its

personnel” as concerns the parts related to assessment of personnel installing PT kits.

CWA 14646 recommended that the training provider should issue certificates attesting the acquired skill

of the PT personnel.

To ensure a general acceptance of such certificates, EN 17678-2 describes a procedure in accordance with

EN ISO/IEC 17024.

The main motivating factors for creating a European standard on competence of personnel and

assessment/ certification of their skills are:
— safety and quality considerations during the installation of the kits;
— safeguarding the integrity of structures during their service life;

— to facilitate free movement of PT personnel, both between PT specialist companies and member

states.
EN 17678 consists of two parts:

— Part 1 deals with the minimum requirements to competence personnel dealing with PT installations,

and on the tasks the personnel are qualified to undertake;

— Part 2 gives the framework for how to assess the competence of PT personnel and issue certificates

to candidates fulfilling the requirements.
