BS EN 12602:2026

This document shall cover, regardless if manufactured in factories or in temporary plants on site under the same conditions, prefabricated reinforced components of autoclaved aerated concrete with a dry density between 250 and 1000 kg/m3 to be used in building construction as: — solid, hollow core and multilayer wall elements intended to be used as structural elements; — solid, hollow core and multilayer wall elements intended to be used as non-structural elements and if relevant for applications in contact with soil and ground water; — retaining walls intended to be used as structural elements and if relevant for applications in contact with soil and ground water; — solid, hollow core and multilayer roof elements intended to be used as structural elements; — solid, hollow core and multilayer floor elements intended to be used as structural elements; — solid, hollow core beams intended to be used as structural elements; — solid piers intended to be used as structural elements and if relevant for applications in contact with soil and ground water; — cladding elements intended to be used as non-loadbearing elements; — rectangular cross-section box culverts intended not to be used as structural elements and if relevant for applications in contact with soil and ground water; — components for noise barriers intended not to be used as structural elements and if relevant for applications in contact with soil and ground water. This document does not cover: — retaining walls intended to retain tanks or reservoirs of liquids; — precast diaphragm walls (concrete sheet piling); — ribbed floor elements; — lintels.
