This European Standard applies to concrete compacted to retain no appreciable amount of entrapped air other than
entrained air. This standard applies to normal-weight, heavy-weight and light-weight concrete.
Other European Standards for specific products e.g. precast products or for processes within the field of the scope
of this standard may require or permit deviations from this standard.
Additional or different requirements may be given in further parts of this standard or in other specific European
standards, for example:
– concrete to be used in roads and other trafficked areas;
– concrete using other materials (e.g. fibres) or constituent materials not covered by 5.1;
– concrete with an upper aggregate size of 4 mm or less (mortar);
– special technologies (e.g. sprayed concrete);
– concrete for disposal of liquids and gaseous waste;
– concrete for vessels for storage of polluting substances;
– concrete for massive structures (e.g. dams);
– dry mixed concrete.
NOTE As long as these standards are not available, provisions valid in the place of use of the concrete may apply.
European standards are under preparation for:

This standard does not apply to:
– aerated concrete;

– concrete with open structure ("no-fines" concrete);
– concrete with density less than 800 kg/m³;
