BS EN 10080 specifies general requirements and definitions for the performance characteristics of weldable reinforcing steel used for the reinforcement of concrete structures, delivered as finished products in the form of bars, coils (rod, wire) and decoiled products, sheets of factory-made machine-welded fabric or lattice girders.
This general standard should be used in conjunction with BS 4449:2005, BS 4482:2005 and BS 4483:2005 in order to fully specify delivery requirements.
BS EN 10080 is a harmonized European Standard, and contains within it the requirements for CE marking of reinforcing steels according to the Construction Products Directive. The standard contains details of definitions, test methods, evaluation of conformity and identification of the manufacturer and the technical class. For certain performance characteristics threshold values are given. For other performance characteristics, no values are given. The standard must be used in conjunction with another technical specification, such as BS 4449:2005, in order to fully specify delivery requirements.
