Srps En 13670
SRPS EN 13670 sets requirements for the execution of concrete structures to ensure safety, durability and conformity with design intentions. Key points:
Use this standard to bridge design intent (Eurocode 2) and site practice: include clear execution specifications in contracts (concrete classes, cover, tolerances, curing), assign responsibilities, and maintain chain-of-custody documentation for materials and tests.

SRPS EN 13670 is the Serbian national version of the European standard EN 13670, which outlines the mandatory requirements for the execution of concrete structures. If you are working on a construction project in Serbia, this is the rulebook that ensures the concrete is poured and set correctly to meet safety and serviceability goals. Core Purpose
This standard bridges the gap between the design phase (often handled by Eurocode 2) and the actual physical construction. It covers both in-situ (poured on-site) and precast (prefabricated) concrete elements. Key Areas Covered
The standard provides a checklist for the life cycle of a concrete pour:
Execution Management: Requires a clear "execution specification" that defines project-specific details and documentation. srps en 13670
Falsework and Formwork: Guidelines for the temporary molds that hold wet concrete, including their design, installation, and when they can be safely removed.
Reinforcement: Standards for placing and securing steel bars or mesh before the pour.
Concreting Operations: Protocols for transporting, pouring, compacting, and curing the concrete.
Geometrical Tolerances: Specific limits on how much a structure can deviate from the original design dimensions (e.g., thickness and alignment). What it Does NOT Cover
To avoid confusion, note that SRPS EN 13670 does not handle:
The production and quality of the raw concrete itself (this is covered by EN 206). Health and safety regulations on-site. Contractual responsibilities between builders and owners. Practical Application SRPS EN 13670 sets requirements for the execution
For every project, the standard expects an Execution Specification. This document must state any special requirements, such as using lightweight aggregates, special fibers, or unique architectural finishes. You can find the official document and its latest status on the Institute for Standardization of Serbia (ISS) website. SRPS EN 13670:2012
SRPS EN 13670:2012 is the Serbian national version of the European standard EN 13670:2009, which outlines the requirements for the execution of concrete structures. It is a critical document for civil engineers and construction professionals in Serbia, ensuring that the physical construction of buildings and infrastructure meets safety and quality benchmarks. Key Scope and Application
Purpose: It provides common requirements for the execution of concrete works to ensure they meet the design intent of Eurocode 2 (SRPS EN 1992).
Types of Work: The standard applies to both in-situ (cast on-site) concrete works and the assembly of prefabricated (precast) concrete elements.
Structure Types: It covers both permanent and temporary concrete structures.
Exclusions: This standard does not cover the production, specification, or conformity of the concrete material itself (which is handled by SRPS EN 206), nor does it cover health and safety or contractual responsibilities. Relationship with Other Standards Use this standard to bridge design intent (Eurocode
In the Serbian regulatory framework, SRPS EN 13670 works in tandem with several other standards:
SRPS EN 206: Specifies the properties and production of the concrete used.
SRPS EN 1992 (Eurocode 2): Provides the design rules that the execution must follow.
SRPS EN 13791: Used for assessing the in-situ compressive strength of concrete in structures. Document Availability
The official Serbian text was published by the Serbian Institute for Standardization (ISS) in September 2012. It replaced the older pre-standard ENV 13670-1:2000. SRPS EN 13670:2012
