SS EN 13670:2022
National Foreword
This Singapore Standard was prepared by the Working Group on Execution of Concrete Structures set
up by the Technical Committee on Building Structures and Substructures under the purview of the
Building and Construction Standards Committee.
This standard is an identical adoption of EN 13670:2009, “Execution of concrete structures”, published
by the European Committee for Standardization, CEN, Rue de la Science 23 B - 1040 Brussels.
The National Annex (NA) is a modified adoption of the UK NA to BS EN 13670:2009 and is adapted
with the permission of the BSI Standards Limited. It provides the Singapore requirements for information
required by the clauses in this standard, listed in Table NA.1.
For the NA, modifications have been made. These technical deviations and additional information have
been added directly to the NA to which they refer and are marked by a vertical bar on the left margin of
the standard.
NOTE 1 – Where appropriate, the words “European Standard” are read as “Singapore Standard”.
NOTE 2 – Reference to International/Overseas Standards are replaced by applicable Singapore Standards or
Technical References.
NOTE 3 – Where numerical values are expressed as decimals, the comma is read as a full point.
Calibration of instruments, where required, are recommended to be carried out by laboratories
accredited under the Singapore Accreditation Council.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Singapore Standard may be the
subject of patent rights. Enterprise Singapore shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all of
such patent rights.
NOTE
1. Singapore Standards (SSs) and Technical References (TRs) are reviewed periodically to keep abreast of technical
changes, technological developments and industry practices. The changes are documented through the issue of
either amendments or revisions. Where SSs are deemed to be stable, i.e. no foreseeable changes in them, they will be
classified as “mature standards”. Mature standards will not be subject to further review, unless there are requests to review
such standards.
2. An SS or TR is voluntary in nature except when it is made mandatory by a regulatory authority. It can also be cited in contracts
making its application a business necessity. Users are advised to assess and determine whether the SS or TR is suitable for
their intended use or purpose. If required, they should refer to the relevant professionals or experts for advice on the use of
the document. Enterprise Singapore and the Singapore Standards Council shall not be liable for any damages whether
directly or indirectly suffered by anyone or any organisation as a result of the use of any SS or TR. Although care has been
taken to draft this standard, users are also advised to ensure that they apply the information after due diligence.
3. Compliance with a SS or TR does not exempt users from any legal obligations.
