is the cornerstone of quality concrete construction in Serbia. By adopting this European standard, Serbian engineers, contractors, and inspectors have a modern, comprehensive, and internationally recognized framework to guide their work. It harmonizes local practices with European regulations, providing clear rules for everything from formwork and reinforcement to concreting and tolerances.
Extended curing (until concrete reaches 50% strength). srps en 13670
All non-conformities must be documented, and corrective actions must be signed off by the designer or a competent engineer.
To successfully execute a project, SRPS EN 13670 must be used in tandem with (the standard for concrete composition, properties, and production).
Used for simple, low-risk structures (e.g., single-story agricultural buildings). For clients and supervisors
It replaces older, fragmented national regulations and aligns Serbia with the Eurocode system (EN 1990 to EN 1999). While Eurocodes primarily deal with design, deals with the execution —how to transform a design on paper into a physical, safe, and durable concrete structure on site.
is the Serbian national standard for the execution of concrete structures. It adopts the European standard EN 13670 word-for-word. This regulation bridges the gap between structural design and physical construction. It ensures that the safety, durability, and structural integrity assumptions made during the design phase are fully realized on the construction site.

Protecting fresh concrete against extreme heat, frost, and freezing temperatures. 6. Geometrical Tolerances
The "SRPS" prefix indicates adoption by the Institute for Standardization of Serbia (ISS), which manages the transfer of EN standards into the Serbian legal framework.
is more than just an ISO number—it is the operational "bible" for any concrete construction project in Serbia. It bridges the gap between architectural vision (design) and on-the-ground reality (execution). For Serbian contractors, adopting this standard reduces disputes, improves structural durability, and increases eligibility for international tenders. For clients and supervisors, it provides a clear, legally defensible benchmark for acceptance.
The standard defines strict rules for accepting or rejecting concrete. For example:
