BS EN 13580:2002

This standard BS EN 13580:2002 Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures. Test methods. Water absorption and resistance to alkali for hydrophobic impregnations is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.080.40 Concrete structures
• 91.100.30 Concrete and concrete products

This European Standard specifies a test method to evaluate the effect of a hydrophobic impregnation. It deals with the rate at which treated concrete absorbs water and with the alkali resistance of that surface treatment. The method primarily relates to the protection of concrete structures.
