European foreword
This document (EN 14487-1:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 104 “Concrete
and related products”, the secretariat of which is held by SN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2023, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by May 2023.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 14487-1:2005.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
— Table 3 has been added;
— Table 13 has been modified;
— Normative references have been updated.
This document has taken EN 206 as a basis. Some clauses which apply to sprayed concrete refer to
EN 206 because of their importance. Other clauses have been modified to meet the specific requirements
of sprayed concrete.
This document is only operable with product standards for constituent materials (i.e. cement, aggregates,
additions, admixtures, fibres and mixing water) and related test methods for sprayed concrete which
form the package defined below. For this reason, the latest date of withdrawal of national standards
(DOW) conflicting with this document is determined by TC 104 to be DAV + 6 months.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,

Introduction
This document will be applied in Europe under different climatic and geographical conditions, different
levels of protection and under different, well-established, regional traditions and experience. Classes for
concrete properties have been introduced to cover this situation. Where such general solutions were not
possible, the relevant clauses contain permission for the application of EN 206 or other standards valid
in the place of use.
This document incorporates rules for the use of constituent materials that are covered by European
Standards. Other by-products of industrial processes, recycled materials, etc. are in current use based on
local experience. Until European specifications for these materials are available, this document will not
provide rules for their use, but instead refers to the recommendations given in EN 206 to apply national
standards or provisions valid in the place of use of the concrete.
This document defines tasks for the specifier, producer and user. For example, the specifier is responsible
for the specification of concrete, Clauses 5 and 6 and the producer is responsible for conformity and
production control, Clause 7. The user is responsible for placing the concrete in the structure. In practice
there may be several different parties specifying requirements at various stages of the design and
construction process, e.g. the client, the designer, the contractor, the concreting sub-contractor. Each is
responsible for passing the specified requirements, together with any additional requirements, to the
next party in the chain until they reach the producer. In the terms of this document, this final compilation
is known as the “specification”.
Further explanations and guidance on the application of this document are given in Annex A.

European foreword
This document (prEN 14487-1:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 104 “Concrete
and related products”, the secretariat of which is held by SN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 14487-1:2005.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
— Table 3 has been added;
— Table 13 has been modified;
— Normative references have been updated.
This document has taken EN 206 as a basis. Some clauses which apply to sprayed concrete refer to
EN 206 because of their importance. Other clauses have been modified to meet the specific requirements
of sprayed concrete.
This document is only operable with product standards for constituent materials (i.e. cement, aggregates,
additions, admixtures, fibres and mixing water) and related test methods for sprayed concrete which
form the package defined below. For this reason, the latest date of withdrawal of national standards
(DOW) conflicting with this document is determined by TC 104 to be 2023-04-05.

Introduction
This document will be applied in Europe under different climatic and geographical conditions, different
levels of protection and under different, well-established, regional traditions and experience. Classes for
concrete properties have been introduced to cover this situation. Where such general solutions were not
possible, the relevant clauses contain permission for the application of EN 206 or other standards valid
in the place of use.
This document incorporates rules for the use of constituent materials that are covered by European
Standards. Other by-products of industrial processes, recycled materials etc. are in current use based on
local experience. Until European specifications for these materials are available, this document will not
provide rules for their use, but instead refers to the recommendations given in EN 206 to apply national
standards or provisions valid in the place of use of the concrete.
This document defines tasks for the specifier, producer and user. For example, the specifier is responsible
for the specification of concrete, Clauses 5 and 6 and the producer is responsible for conformity and
production control, Clause 7. The user is responsible for placing the concrete in the structure. In practice
there may be several different parties specifying requirements at various stages of the design and
construction process e.g. the client, the designer, the contractor, the concreting sub-contractor. Each is
responsible for passing the specified requirements, together with any additional requirements, to the
next party in the chain until they reach the producer. In the terms of this document, this final compilation
is known as the “specification”.
Further explanations and guidance on the application of this document are given in Annex A.

4 Classification
4.1 Consistence of wet mix
The classification of consistence of fresh concrete in this document is applicable for wet mixed concrete
before being sprayed and consistence classes in EN 206 shall be applied.
4.2 Exposure classes
The limiting values for composition of concrete related to the exposure classes given in EN 206, apply for
sprayed concrete with the following exceptions:
3
— recommendation on minimum cement content in the basic mix shall be 300 kg/m ;
— recommendation on minimum air content is not applicable.
NOTE Current available test methods for the measurement of air content do not give reliable data results for
fresh sprayed concrete.
4.3 Young sprayed concrete
Young sprayed concrete may also be classified according to the ranges of its significant early strength
development. The classification is based on the average range of the typical hardening rate according to
the chosen production process and requirements.
When specified the strength development of the young sprayed concrete shall apply to the early strength
. Early strength class J1 is defined by at least 3 data points
classes J1, J2 or J3 according to Figure 1
(compressive strength vs. time) falling in the area between the lines A and B, class J2 in the area between
the lines B and C and class J3 above the line C.
The recommended time intervals in which strength data have to be evaluated are: 0 h to 1 h; 4 h to 6 h;
12 h to 24 h.
Early strength development shall be determined with the penetration needle method according to
EN 14488-2 and/or stud driving method according to EN 14488-2, according to the expected strength
range (see Table 1).

4.5.2 Residual strength classes
4.5.2.1 General
Classification of residual strength shall be made by specification of a strength level at a certain
deformation range.
This can be done using the four point bending test (Method A) or using the alternative three point bending
test on square panel (Method B), both described in the EN 14488-3.
4.5.2.2 Classification according to the four point bending test without notch
Classification of residual strength shall be made by specification of a strength level at a certain
deformation range according to Table 2 and determined in accordance with EN 14488-3 and denoted by
combination of the symbols for the specified deformation range and strength level, e.g. Class D2S2 means
that the residual strength shall exceed 2 MPa between 0, 5 mm and 2 mm deflection.
