Genorma Eurocode Package 2: Concrete and Composite Buildings

Genorma's Eurocode package 2 combines documents for concrete buildings and buildings using composite steel and concrete construction. It is a selected retailer collection, rather than the complete Eurocode 2 family.

Two standards families in one collection

  • EN 1992-1-1: general concrete-design rules and rules for buildings, with the amendment and correction identified in the listing.
  • EN 1994-1-1: general rules and building rules for composite steel and concrete construction, with a listed correction.

The package's concrete documents do not include the separate fire-design, concrete-bridge or liquid-retaining-structure parts. It also does not list the composite bridge or composite fire-design parts. Select additional references where the structure and design situations require them.

Choose documents for the actual project

Check the required editions, applicable national adoption and any accompanying National Annexes before purchase. The JRC guidance on national parameters explains why country-specific choices matter. The package listing should be compared with the project's complete document schedule, including the design basis and relevant actions.

Use the JRC Eurocode family reference to distinguish EN 1992 concrete design from EN 1994 composite design. A purchase does not certify a structure or replace its design verification.

Review Genorma's package 2 contents and licence terms before ordering.

IEC 62321: Substance Testing, Screening and RoHS Evidence

Image
The IEC 62321 series provides methods for determining specified substances in electrotechnical products. Its European adoptions can support a materials assessment, but a test method is not itself a legal substance limit or a complete compliance assessment. Choose the method for the substance and material The Genorma collection's inventory includes sample preparation, screening and substance-specific analytical methods. Check each document's designation: some are EN adoptions, while the listing also includes an IEC publication. Part 2: disassembly and mechanical preparation of samples. Part 3-1: XRF screening for lead, mercury, cadmium, total chromium and total bromine. Parts 6 and 7: methods addressing specified brominated flame retardants and hexavalent chromium respectively. Part 8: methods for specified phthalates in polymers. A screening result needs interpretation Total chromium is not the same measurement as hexavalent chromium. Likewise, total bromine does not ident...

What Does prEN Mean? Draft Standards and Placeholder References

prEN means draft European Standard. It identifies a document under development, rather than a published EN. CEN and CENELEC distinguish draft standards (prENs) from European Standards (ENs) . Does “prEN 50XXX” identify a particular standard? Not on its own. “50XXX” is a placeholder-style reference, so it cannot establish a document's technical subject or requirements without its project context. Such references can appear in genuine work programmes; they should not be mistaken for a uniquely identified published standard. The specific catalogue example The Genorma record linked by this article describes a project to revise DIN 47624:1980-04 concerning plastic clamping closures for telecommunication cables with metallic conductors and optical fibres. The indexed catalogue record identifies the project as abandoned, with deletion dated 7 July 2000. It should not be presented as an upcoming standard or a new binding requirement.

Eurocode Package 10: Towers, Masts, Piling and Cranes

Image
Genorma's Eurocode standards package 10 covers towers, masts, chimneys, piling and crane-supporting structures. The seller's package number is a catalogue label, not the official Eurocode 10 designation. Its listed documents come from Eurocode 3 and Eurocode 8. Documents listed by the seller EN 1993-3-1: steel towers and masts. EN 1993-3-2: steel chimneys. EN 1993-5: steel piling. EN 1993-6: structures supporting cranes. EN 1998-6: earthquake-related provisions for towers, masts and chimneys. The listing identifies BDS national editions of these documents. Their presence in a bundle does not establish that every document, edition or design method applies to the same project. Build a project-specific document list Begin with the structure and its intended use. Record which references the specification requires, then confirm their editions, amendments, national adoption and any relevant National Annex. Check whether newer documents affect the intended design basis. Loading...
