EVS-EN 1504-4:2005

This Part 4 of EN 1504 specifies requirements for the identification, performance (including durability) and safety of structural bonding products and systems to be used for the structural bonding of strengthening materials to an existing concrete structure, including: 1) The bonding of external plates of steel or other suitable materials (e.g. fibre reinforced composites) to the surface of a concrete structure for strengthening purposes, including the laminating of plates in such applications. 2) The bonding of hardened concrete to hardened concrete, typically associated with the use of precast units in repair and strengthening. 3) The casting of fresh concrete to hardened concrete using an adhesive bonded joint where it forms a part of the structure and is required to act compositely.
