What is BS EN 15422 - glassfibre strands nets mats for concrete specification about?

Glassfibre allows the construction of very slim elements with good tensile strength. BS EN 15422 is a European Standard that discusses precast concrete products.

BS EN 15422 specifies requirements for glassfibres used as reinforcement in mortars and concrete for non-structural products.

BS EN 15422 applies to continuous filament glassfibre products in the form of roving, strands, or chopped strands and related products such as nets or mats based on these products.

Who is BS EN 15422 - glassfibre strands nets mats for concrete specification for?

BS EN 15422 on glassfibre strands nets mats for concrete specification is useful for:

The construction industry
Manufacturers of precast concrete products
Manufacturers of glassfibres
Product designers / innovation teams
Builders / real estate developers / architects
Civil / building / construction engineers

Inspection and quality testing personnel

Why should you use BS EN 15422 - glassfibre strands nets mats for concrete specification?

Glass fibre is made up of several fine fibres of glass and can be used in the form of strands, roving, chopped strands, nets, or mats. Glassfibre is one of the most versatile industrial materials, and has comparable mechanical properties to other fibres such as carbon fibre and polymers.

BS EN 15422 walks you through aspects of glassfibre such the physical condition and properties, testing, and compliance for glassfibres.

As a manufacturer of glassfibre products, complying with BS EN 15422 helps you to demonstrate the performance and quality of your products, ensuring that they are fit for their intended use.
