CEN/TC 104/WG 11 - Fibres for concrete
To produce product standards covering definition, specification and conformity for steel and polymer fibres. The standards will cover fibres for use in all types of structural and non-structural concrete including sprayed concrete, precast concrete and repair products. To produce test methods for fibres and their effect in concrete.

CEN/TC 104/WG 11 develops CEN standards. The scope of work includes: To produce product standards covering definition, specification and conformity for steel and polymer fibres. The standards will cover fibres for use in all types of structural and non-structural concrete including sprayed concrete, precast concrete and repair products. To produce test methods for fibres and their effect in concrete. Currently, there are 5 published standards from this working group.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
This European Standard specifies the composition and characteristics of reference concretes used to evaluate the performance of fibres in concrete.
The purpose of the reference concrete is to determine the general suitability of a fibre for use in concrete.
NOTE The end user needs to satisfy themselves about the effectiveness of the fibre in their own concrete.

This Part 2 of EN 14889 specifies requirements for polymer fibres for structural or non-structural use in concrete, mortar and grout.
NOTE Structural use of fibres is where the addition of fibres is designed to contribute to the load bearing capacity of a concrete element. This standard covers fibres intended for use in all types of concrete and mortar, including sprayed concrete, flooring, precast, in-situ and repair concretes.

This document specifies requirements for polymer fibres for structural or non-structural use in concrete, mortar and grout. It covers fibres intended for use in all types of concrete and mortar, including sprayed concrete, flooring, precast, in-situ and repair concretes.
Provisions governing the application of polymer fibres in the production of fibre reinforced concrete or mortar elements, i. e. requirements concerning fibre content, structural design, mixing, placing, etc. of concrete including polymer fibres are not part of this standard.
NOTE Structural use of fibres is where the addition of fibres is designed to contribute to the load bearing capacity of a concrete or mortar element, see 3.18.
