BS EN 13529:2003

What is BS EN 13529 - Surface protection systems resistance to chemicals about? 

BS EN 13529 is one of a series of European standards dealing with products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures. 

BS EN 13529 specifies a method for determining the resistance to severe chemical attack of surface protection systems. 

Who is BS EN 13529 - Surface protection systems resistance to chemicals for? 

BS EN 13529 on determining chemical attack resistance of products for the protection of concrete structures is useful for: 

• Manufacturers of concrete protection products 
• Civil engineers 
• Architects 
• Testing and inspection personnel 

Why should you use BS EN 13529 - Surface protection systems resistance to chemicals?  

Chemical penetration through concrete surfaces can accelerate the corrosion of steel rebars within the concrete structures. Hence, surface protection systems need to be highly resistant to chemical elements. 

BS EN 13529 helps you to determine the chemical resistance of surface protection systems by providing you with detailed guidance on the apparatus requirements, and a step-by-step procedure of its test method. Overall, the test method described in BS EN 13529 enables you to identify surface protection systems that offer the best resistance to chemical attacks and prevent corrosion within concrete structures.
