1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements for prefabricated lintels for maximum spans of
4,5 m and made from steel, autoclaved aerated concrete, manufactured stone, concrete, fired
clay units, calcium silicate units, natural stone units, or a combination of these materials.
Concrete and steel beams conforming to EN 1090-1, EN 12602 and EN 13225, as appropriate,
are not covered by this standard.
Prefabricated lintels can be either complete lintels or the prefabricated part of a composite

This European Standard is not applicable to:
a) lintels completely made on site;
b) lintels of which the tensile parts are made on site;
c) timber lintels;
d) natural stone lintels, not reinforced.
Linear components spanning clear openings greater than 4,5 m in masonry walls and linear
