Describes common requirements for resin-bound concrete used in the fabrication of precast concrete products.

This European Standard specifies common requirements for resin-bound concrete used in the fabrication of precast concrete products. It is intended to be used when preparing documents for resin-bound concrete products. Resin-bound concrete product standards will define specific requirements, which may be additional to those given in this document. Product standards will give any limiting values. Examples for the use of resin-bound concrete are: street furniture and garden products, decorative elements, structural elements, window sills, machine tool structures, elements for fence, animal troughs and slats, etc. This standard is not applicable to polymer-modified or impregnated mortar and concrete (only PC not PCC or SPCC).
