Understanding SRPS EN 13670: The Standard for Concrete Structure Execution
Must be done in accordance with design drawings, avoiding micro-cracking in the steel bends.
Similar to structural steel standards, SRPS EN 13670 often uses execution classes (though they are not as strictly defined as in EN 1090). Instead, the standard relies on specific tolerance classes and inspection levels assigned in the documentation based on the risk and complexity of the project. 3. Tolerances and Inspection Levels
is the Serbian national adoption of the European standard EN 13670 , which provides universal requirements for the execution of concrete structures. This guide summarizes its scope, key technical sections, and the primary responsibilities it places on designers and constructors. 1. Scope and Application
Structural design standards, such as Eurocode 2 (SRPS EN 1992), rely heavily on the assumption that workmanship meets a specific level of quality. SRPS EN 13670 provides that exact quality benchmark. It establishes common requirements for the execution of concrete structures to achieve compliance with design specifications.
Requirements for the design and construction of molds (formwork) and their supports (falsework). It ensures they are stiff enough to hold the weight of wet concrete and achieve the required surface finish.
In Serbia, SRPS EN 13670 is legally referenced and enforced. The official translation of the 2012 edition is currently in progress (as of recent ISS data). The ISS is also currently voting on a new version: , with voting expected to close in late 2025, indicating that the standard is being updated to keep pace with European revisions.
