What is BS EN 15564 - resin-bound concrete products about?
Resin-bound surfacing is a hard-wearing surface option that offers the advantage of being durable while appearing similar to natural stone. BS EN 15564 is a European Standard that discusses precast concrete products.
BS EN 15564 specifies common requirements for resin-bound concrete used in the fabrication of precast concrete products. BS EN 15564 is intended to be used when preparing documents for resin-bound concrete products.
Note: BS EN 15564 is not applicable to polymer-modified or impregnated mortar and concrete (only PC not PCC or SPCC).
Who is BS EN 15564 - resin-bound concrete products for?
BS EN 15564 on resin-bound concrete products is useful for:
- The construction industry
- Manufacturers of resin-bound concrete products
- Product designers / innovation teams
- Quality control personnel
- Builders / real estate developers / architects
- Civil / construction / building engineers

Why should you use BS EN 15564 - resin-bound concrete products?
Prefabricated resin bound concrete products offer a smooth finish while also being durable. Examples of the use of resin-bound concrete include street furniture and garden products, decorative elements, windowsills, machine tool structures, elements for fences, animal troughs and slats, etc.
BS EN 15564 provides guidance on requirements, constituent materials, aggregates, properties of resin-bound concrete, reaction to fire, filler, strength, and resin. Aspects such as additional inspecting and testing, evaluation of conformity, and apparent density, water absorption, and water permeability are also specified in BS EN 15564.
Resin-bound concrete product standards define specific requirements, which may be added to those given in BS EN 15564. Product standards will give any limiting values.
As a manufacturer of prefabricated resin bound concrete products, complying with BS EN 15564 helps you to demonstrate the performance and quality of your products, ensuring that they are fit for their intended use.
