Describes performance requirements and limit state design methods for two design classes of falsework. Puts the rules that have to be taken into account to produce a safe falsework structure. Also describes information for falsework which is required to support a "permanent structure", or where the design or supply of falsework has to be commissioned. Provides information on foundations.

This European Standard specifies performance requirements and limit state design methods for two design classes of falsework.

It sets out the rules that have to be taken into account to produce a safe falsework structure.

It also provides information for falsework which is required to support a \'permanent structure\', or where the design or supply of falsework has to be commissioned.

This European Standard also gives information on foundations.

This European Standard does not specify requirements for formwork, although formwork may be a part of the falsework construction. Nor does it provide information on access and working scaffolds, which is given in EN 12811-1.

This European Standard does not provide information about site activities. It does not provide information about the use of some standardized products, including timber formwork beams conforming to EN 13377 and props conforming to EN 1065.
