Overview

EN 846-8:2000/A1:2006 is a CEN test method standard that specifies how to determine the load capacity and load–deflection characteristics of joist hangers used with masonry. It is Part 8 of the EN 846 series for ancillary components for masonry and was amended (A1) to clarify test procedure details. The amendment was approved by CEN on 12 July 2006 and is intended for adoption by national standards bodies across Europe.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Test methods for joist hangers as ancillary components for masonry structures (ICS 91.080.30).
• Test procedure updates (A1):
  • Preload: apply a preload of approximately 25% of the declared value (replaces a fixed 1 kN preload).
  • Loading sequence: apply load at 1 kN/min until a deflection of approximately 3 mm is reached; thereafter continue loading at a convenient rate for approximately a further 20 minutes (until the test end-point specified in the standard).
• Referenced documents: The amendment clarifies referencing rules - dated references apply as cited; undated references use the latest edition. Editorial changes include deleting “pr” before EN references.
• Administrative details: Prepared by CEN/TC 125 “Masonry” (secretariat BSI). National adoption was required by February 2007.

Applications and practical value

This standard is practical for organizations and professionals involved in the testing, manufacture and specification of joist hangers and related masonry connections:

• Manufacturers: for type testing and demonstrating product load capacity and stiffness characteristics.
• Test laboratories: to perform standardized, repeatable load–deflection tests and produce comparable results for certification and quality control.
• Structural engineers and designers: to verify connector performance as part of masonry-to-timber or masonry-to-steel connections and inform safe design choices.
• Regulatory bodies and certification schemes: to establish compliance criteria and harmonized testing procedures across jurisdictions.
• Contractors and specifiers: to select appropriate hangers based on verified capacity and deformation behaviour.

Using EN 846-8 supports consistent, repeatable testing that improves product reliability, helps demonstrate compliance with national regulations, and facilitates cross-border recognition of test results.

Related standards

• EN 846 series (other parts cover test methods for ancillary components for masonry)
• National implementations of EN 846-8:2000/A1:2006 (adopted by CEN member bodies)
