It is intended to be used when preparing documents for resin-bound concrete products. Resin-bound concrete product standards will define specific requirements, which may be additional to those given in this document. Product standards will give any limiting values. Examples for the use of resin-bound concrete are: street furniture and garden products, decorative elements, window sills, machine tool structures, elements for fence, animal troughs and slats, etc. This standard is not applicable to polymer-modified or impregnated mortar and concrete (only PC not PCC or SPCC). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
