Introduction
EN 1990 indicates as a principle that to ensure adequate durability of the structure, several factors should
be considered including the expected maintenance during the period of project use.
The same standard also states as a principle that proper inspections and maintenance according to the
procedures specified in the project documentation should be stated to ensure the required level of
reliability.
EN 13084-1 requires in Clause 7 that the chimneys be checked at regular intervals by an expert. The
interval should not exceed two years between any checks. A written report should include
recommendations for maintenance and repair.
When planning new-build or refurbishment projects, architects, designers, manufacturers and
contractors have duties under European Directive 92/57/EEC 24th June 1992 on the implementation of
minimum safety and health requirements at constructions sites), to consider the need for work to be
carried out at height over the lifespan of a building, e.g. to clean, maintain and repair it, and they should
design out the need to work at height if possible.
It is therefore necessary to specify the various operations to be carried out both in inspection and
maintenance to clarify the various points of intervention to prolong the duration of use and reliability of
the structure. This document describes these operations according to the summary of contents on page
2.
1 Scope
This document covers the general requirements and the basic criteria for lifetime management of all
kinds of free-standing chimneys, comprising monitoring, inspection, maintenance, repair, reporting, and
necessary actions and procedures. This document applies to any windshield, single stack, tower, mast
and liner covered by the EN 13084 series.
The Lifetime management considers the original structural and operating design of the structurally
independent chimneys under operational conditions and other actions to verify that mechanical
resistance and stability and safety in use are continued at the designed for level as expected and/or
adapted to changes in the operational requirements of the structure and/or its environment.
NOTE In other parts of the EN 13084 series, rules will be given where chimney products in accordance with
EN 1443 (and the relating product standards) can be used in structurally independent chimneys.

4 Maintenance and inspection
4.1 General structure of the maintenance operations
Eurocode EN 1990 requires that the structures shall be designed such that deterioration over its design
working life does not impair the performance of the structure below that intended, having due regard to
its environment and the anticipated level of maintenance. The following should also be considered:
— the intended or foreseeable use of the structure (chemical and thermal loads caused by the conveying
of flue/exhaust gases, the operating of the installation - on-/off operation, bypass-operation, wet
stack -, foreseeable and not foreseeable operational interruptions and shutdowns, etc…;
— the required design criteria;
— the expected environmental conditions;
— the composition, properties and performance of the materials and products;
— the properties of soil;
— the choice of the structural system;
— the shape members and the structural detailing;
— the quality of
