What is BS EN 1504-7 - Reinforcement corrosion protection about?
BS EN 1504-7 is the seventh part of the BS EN 1504 multi-series that discusses products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures.
BS EN 1504-7 specifies requirements for the identification and the performance (including durability aspects) of products and systems for active and barrier coatings for protection of existing uncoated steel reinforcement and embedded steel in concrete structures under repair.
Note: BS EN 1504-7 does not cover products for corrosion protection of pre-stressing steels and stainless steels.
Who is BS EN 1504-7 - Reinforcement corrosion protection for?
BS EN 1504-7 on the requirements, quality control, and evaluation of conformity for reinforcement corrosion protection is useful for:
- Manufacturers of concrete protection products
- Civil engineers
- Architects
- Testing and inspection personnel
Why should you use BS EN 1504-7 - Reinforcement corrosion protection?
Active coatings and barrier coatings are used to protect concrete structures from corrosion. These coatings need to meet certain performance requirements to ensure they perform as intended.
BS EN 1504-7 introduces you to the terminologies and characteristics for reinforcement corrosion protection, this helps you to identify the necessary requirements that contribute to producing high-quality reinforcement corrosion protection products.
Overall, the guidelines of BS EN 1504-7 help you to gain a better understanding of reinforcement corrosion protection products which enables you to use them appropriately in your concrete structures.
