Survey on provisions valid in the place of use used in conjunction with the European concrete standard and developing practice
This CEN Report provides a summary of provisions valid in the place of use used with EN 206:2013. The aims of this CEN Report are to:
a) provide a picture of how EN 206:2013 is being applied in practice;
b) identify areas where EN 206 is being interpreted in different ways;
c) identify areas where CEN Member Countries have found simplification to be necessary;
d) identify where the options listed in EN 206:2013, Annex M to have provisions valid in the place of use have been taken up;
e) identify other clauses in EN 206 where CEN Member Countries have amended or added to the requirements;
f) identify areas within the scope of concrete production and supply not covered by EN 206, but covered by national provisions;
g) identify developing practice that may lead to a need for standardization in the future.
EN 206 uses the phrase ‘provisions valid in the place of use’. This survey uses the term ‘provisions valid in the place of use’ to include regulations, standards and other documents that form the basis of local practice.
As a summary of national requirements, the information in this CEN Report is incomplete and may have been subject to later revisions, particularly if the entry was based on information in CEN/TR15868: 2009. It is insufficient and not intended to provide the basis for design and specification: for this the national requirements (see Table 2) should be studied.
Table 2 identifies CEN Member Countries who did not respond to the questionnaire. The other tables in this CEN Report only include information from CEN Member Countries, or in the view of the authors, the information in CEN/TR 15868:2009 is still likely to be valid.

Pregled zahtev, veljavnih v kraju uporabe v povezavi z evropskim standardom za beton EN 206 ter razvojem uporabljene prakse
To poročilo CEN vsebuje povzetek zahtev, veljavnih v kraju uporabe, v povezavi s standardom EN 206:2013. Cilji tega poročila CEN so:
a) zagotoviti sliko, kako se standard EN 206:2013 uporablja v praksi;
b) prepoznati področja, na katerih se standard EN 206 razlaga različno;
c) prepoznati področja, za katera so države članice CEN ugotovile, da je potrebna poenostavitev;
d) prepoznati, kje so bile upoštevane možnosti, navedene v dodatku M standarda EN 206:2013, z veljavnimi zahtevami v kraju uporabe;
e) prepoznati druge točke iz standarda EN 206, ki so jih države članice CEN spremenile ali dodale k zahtevam;
f) prepoznati področja, ki spadajo v proizvodnjo in dobavo betona ter niso zajeta v standardu EN 206, vendar so zajeta z nacionalnimi zahtevami;
g) prepoznati prakse v razvoju, ki jih bo mora v prihodnosti treba standardizirati.
V standardu EN 206 se uporablja izraz »zahteve, veljavne v kraju uporabe«. Ta pregled uporablja izraz »zahteve, veljavne v kraju uporabe«, ki vključuje predpise, standarde in druge dokumente, ki tvorijo osnovo za lokalne prakse.
Kot povzetek nacionalnih zahtev so informacije v poročilu CEN nepopolne in so bile morda pozneje popravljene, zlasti če vnos temelji na informacijah iz CEN/TR15868: 2009. Ta je nezadosten in ni namenjen podajanju osnove za zasnovo in specifikacije: za to je treba preučiti nacionalne zahteve (glej preglednico 2).
V preglednici 2 so opredeljene države članice CEN, ki se niso odzvale na vprašalnik. Druge preglednice v tem poročilu CEN vsebujejo samo informacije držav članic CEN ali mnenje avtorjev, zato so informacije v CEN/TR 15868:2009 najverjetneje še vedno veljavne.

European foreword
This document (CEN/TR 15868:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 104
“Concrete and related products”, the secretariat of which is held by SN.
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 CEN/TR 15868:2009.
Introduction
(1) This CEN/TR supersedes CEN/TR 15868:2009. EN 206-1 was published in 2000 and EN 206-9
published in 2010. European standards for many concrete test methods and for most of the constituents
of concrete are now published and they are being periodically updated.
(2) In 2013, EN 206-1 and EN 206-9 were revised and published as a single standard, EN 206:2013.
One major change was that the clauses in EN 206 where national provisions were required or permitted
were identified and listed in its Annex M. In addition CEN Member Countries are free to include in
national provisions matters not covered by EN 206.
(3) In the light of these changes, CEN agreed that a revision of CEN/TR 15868 was appropriate. Some of
the questions in the original survey are still valid and therefore CEN Member Countries were simply
asked to update their answers. As most constituents of concrete are now standardized, the survey
questions were changed to identify the few remaining national standards. When CEN agreed on a suite
of tests for use with self-compacting concrete, there was an agreement, that in the future a survey
would be undertaken to assess what is being used in practice and whether further tests need to be
standardized. This survey includes that commitment. Other questions relate to topics, with hindsight,
that should have asked in the original survey.
(4) The opportunity of having such a survey has been also used to identify developing practice as this
may lead to a need for standardization in the near future.
(5) Sixteen CEN Member Countries responded to the survey, although in some cases the respondent
was unable to provide answers to all the questions. Three CEN Member Countries (Austria, Denmark
and Germany) have not completed their national provisions. Administrators in Austrian Standards have
refused to publish EN 206 as it does not conform to CEN Rules, Denmark is still working on its national
provisions and the reasons Germany has not finished their national provisions is described in 2.1. These
three CEN Member Countries plus Luxembourg and Slovakia completed the original survey and this
CEN Technical Report contains some of their responses to the original survey where changes are less
likely, e.g. to exposure classes, limiting values and additions standardized at the national level.
(6) Since the close of the survey, Austria has published EN 206 albeit in a slightly modified form and
Denmark has completed their national provisions. Table 2 includes the location of the new Danish
national provisions, but the other tables where Denmark is cited have not been updated.

1 Scope
This document provides a summary of provisions valid in the place of use used with EN 206:2013. The
aims of this document are to:
a) provide a picture of how EN 206:2013 is being applied in practice;
b) identify areas where EN 206 is being interpreted in different ways;
c) identify areas where CEN Member Countries have found simplification to be necessary;
d) identify where the options listed in EN 206:2013, Annex M to have provisions valid in the place of
use have been taken up;
e) identify other clauses in EN 206 where CEN Member Countries have amended or added to the
requirements;
f) identify areas within the scope of concrete production and supply not covered by EN 206, but
covered by national provisions;
g) identify developing practice that may lead to a need for standardization in the future.
EN 206 uses the phrase ‘provisions valid in the place of use’. This survey uses the term ‘provisions valid
in the place of use’ to include regulations, standards and other documents that form the basis of local
practice.
As a summary of national requirements, the information in this CEN Report is incomplete and may have
been subject to later revisions, particularly if the entry was based on information in
CEN/TR 15868:2009. It is insufficient and not intended to provide the basis for design and
specification: for this the national requirements (see Table 2) should be studied.
Table 2 identifies CEN Member Countries who did not respond to the questionnaire. The other tables in
this document only include information from CEN Member Countries, or in the view of the authors, the
information in CEN/TR 15868:2009 is still likely to be valid.

Spain still has not an official NAD of EN 206. It is still a subject of discussion by the mirror group of TC 104; however, a NAP
for EC 2 exists and several matters related to EN206 are included in that document.
i
In addition to SN EN 206 the several Technical Bulletins (German: Merkblatt, French: Cahier technique) have to be
considered. This type of document is a technical guideline and has the status of a prestandard. The following Technical
Bulletins are valid:
SIA 2030: Recylingbeton/Recycling concrete
SIA 2042: Vorbeugung von Schäden durch die Alkali-Aggregat-Reaktion (AAR) bei Betonbauten/Prevention of damages
due to alkali-aggregate-reaction (AAR) in concrete structures
SIA 2049: Anforderungen an neue Zemente/Requirements on new cements
SIA 2052: Ultra-Hochleistungs-Faserbeton (UHFB) – Baustoffe, Bemessung und Ausführung/Ultra-high performance fiber
reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) – Materials, design and execution.
The explanation as to why Germany has no national provisions is as follows:
‘Cement and concrete have proved particularly successful for decades because quality control for their
production and use has been closely regulated and the requirements for safe and durable structures
have been satisfied. However, in a few applications there is doubt about whether all the necessary
concrete technology and implementation parameters have been clearly described and appropriately
taken into account in the design. Against this background the analysis of the positions taken up over the
new draft of the German National Annex, to EN 206:2013, DIN 1045-2:2014-08 has shown some
essential conflicting viewpoints of building owners, contractors and concrete producers. Added to this
is the fact that so far in Germany the opening clauses of EN 206 have been widely used to incorporate in
the national application document all the stipulations that are required from the national point of view
and that are needed to achieve a high quality of concrete construction. This route is no longer possible
at the normative level. At the end of 2014 there was no consensus for the adoption of the draft of
DIN 1045-2:2014-08 as the application document for DIN EN 206:2014-07 (German translation of
EN 206:2013).
As a consequence, the target has now been set to create comprehensive and consistent definitions of the
requirements across the whole value chain specific to structural elements for the design, concrete and
its constituents, execution and quality control within a consistent concept of different concrete quality
classes. The German Committee for Structural Concrete (DAfStb) is the platform for conducting the
work. In accordance with a Board decision their results led to the start of a DAfStb Guideline with the
aim to set up this classification system on concrete quality (three classes BBQ1, BBQ2 and BBQ3, c.f.
Figure 1).
In many cases the regulations in DIN EN 206:2014-07 may well be sufficient with a DIN 1045-2 in which
only the permissible opening clauses in the European standard are used. However, the significantly
longer design service lives of, for example, bridges and hydraulic engineering structures, set far greater
demands that can only be achieved by an extended concept of concrete construction quality. The
developments in concrete technology towards the “five components system” already described with a
wide spectrum of compressive strength classes that, on the one hand, improve the workability and
extend the areas where concrete can be used but, on the other hand, sometimes also make the concretes
more sensitive, are making new approaches essential. Public building owners and contractors are
calling for better consideration of site-relevant concrete properties for sophisticated structural
elements, construction methods and special types of concrete. Examples mentioned are, for instance,
the tendency to segregation or the machining of fresh surfaces not cast in formwork. This mainly affects
complex civil engineering structures. However, there are also cases in normal building construction that
necessitate better coordination.
The concrete construction quality classes could, for example, give rise to:
— performance requirements for concretes for the designated purposes;
— procedures/requirements for the concrete producer;
— procedures/requirements for the contractors, and possibly provision for
— concrete/contractor vs designer “feedback” (the “Concrete team”).
This therefore involves procedures along the entire value-added chain. An example of this is extended
initial type testing or suitability testing in case of larger pumping distances. In this way it could be
possible to achieve appropriate concrete properties for demanding construction projects, including
under construction site conditions. However, not all challenges can be overcome through the building
materials or the construction work. With the new concept, designers should also be made aware of
where they have “provoked” demanding concrete technology through their specifications (e.g. extreme
levels of reinforcement). This means that the concrete producer and the contractor have to develop
strategies and guidelines with the involvement of the designer in order to show the client the limits of
what is feasible through concrete technology and execution of the work. In the current discussions
BBQ1 is planned to be part of the new DIN 1045-2 (National Annex).’
Figure 1 — Concrete construction quality concept – answering questions arising from design,
building materials and construction work with assignment to a concrete construction quality
class 2016
It should be noted that EN 206 is intended for normal concrete structures and it has never prevented
the specification of additional requirements for special structures or circumstances (see EN 206, Scope
Clauses (5) and (6)).
