CEN/TC 125/WG 3 - Ancillary components

This European Standard specifies requirements for prefabricated lintels for maximum spans of 4,5 m and made from steel, autoclaved aerated concrete, manufactured stone, concrete, fired clay units, calcium silicate units, natural stone units, or a combination of these materials. Concrete and steel beams conforming to EN 1090-1, EN 12602 and EN 13225, as appropriate, are not covered by this standard.
Prefabricated lintels can be either complete lintels or the prefabricated part of a composite lintel.
This European Standard is not applicable to:
a)   lintels completely made on site;
b)   lintels of which the tensile parts are made on site;
c)   timber lintels;
d)   natural stone lintels, not reinforced.
Linear components spanning clear openings greater than 4,5 m in masonry walls and linear components intended for use independently in a structural role (e.g. beams) are not covered by this standard.

This European Standard specifies the requirements for masonry bed joint reinforcement for structural use (see 5.2.1) and for non-structural use (see 5.2.2).
Where products are intended for use in cavity wall construction, this European Standard covers only the performance of the meshwork as reinforcement in bed joints and not its performance as wall ties across the cavity.
This European Standard is not applicable to:
a)   products in the form of individual bars or rods;
b)   products formed from materials other than specified grades of austenitic stainless steel, austenitic ferritic stainless steel, zinc pre-coated steel sheet or zinc coated steel wire with or without organic coating.
NOTE   Annex ZA refers only to welded wire meshwork intended for structural use referred to in 5.2.1 as there are no known regulated requirements for products of this family for non-structural use.

This European Standard specifies requirements for wall ties, tension straps, hangers and brackets for interconnecting masonry and for connecting masonry to other parts of works and buildings including walls, floors, beams, and columns. Where anchors or fasteners are supplied or specified as part of an ancillary component, the requirements including performance requirements apply to the complete product.
This European Standard is not applicable to:
a)   anchors and fasteners other than as part of an ancillary component;
b)   shelf angles;
c)   wall starter plates for tying into existing walls;
d)   products formed from materials other than:
1)   austenitic stainless steel (molybdenum chrome nickel alloys or chrome nickel alloys);
2)   austenitic ferritic stainless steel;
3)   ferritic stainless steel;
4)   copper;
5)   phosphor bronze;
6)   aluminium bronze;
7)   zinc-coated-steel with or without organic coating;
8)   polypropylene;
9)   polyamide (for expansion plugs only).
NOTE   The resistance to fire performance of the products included herein cannot be assessed separately from the masonry element of which they are part and is therefore not covered under the scope of this part of this European Standard.

This part of EN 845 specifies requirements for prefabricated lintels up to a maximum clear span of 4,5 m made from autoclaved aerated concrete, fired clay units, calcium silicate units, natural or manufactured stone, concrete and steel or using a combination of these materials.  Product characteristics linked to ER1 are flexural resistance, shear load resistance and stiffness.

This European standard specifies materials, limiting dimensions and performance requirements for ties, straps, hangers, brackets and support angles for interconnecting masonry and for connecting masonry to other parts of buildings including walls, floors, beams, columns etc. The objective is to enable masonry elements to resist, or transfer to supporting elements, actions such as dead load, occupancy load, wind load, seismic load and thermal/moisture movement. Product characteristics relevant to ERs are those mainly linked to mechanical resist.: ultimate tensile load, ultimate compressive load, ultimate shear resist
