Reinforcement Standard EN 10080 and the EC

There is a strong possibility the EC will withdraw EN 10080:2005 Steel for the
reinforcement of concrete, from the list of references of harmonised standards published
in the OJEU (Official Journal of the European Union). This means that the EC, after
strong lobbying from Italy and Germany, think that currently EN 10080 does not meet
the requirements of a harmonised standard according to the Construction Products
Directive.
Nonetheless, EN 10080 will remain perfectly valid as a standard for reinforcement and
so derived standards such as BS 4449 etc remain perfectly valid as standards for
reinforcement in the UK. The necessary amendments to EN 10080 should not take too
long.
