Overview
This standard specifies the requirements for masonry bed joint reinforcement for structural use and for non-structural use. Where products are intended for use in cavity wall construction, this European Standard covers only the performance of the meshwork as reinforcement in bed joints and not its performance as wall ties across the cavity. This standard is not applicable to: a) products in the form of individual bars or rods; b) products formed from materials other than specified grades of austenitic stainless steel, austenitic ferritic stainless steel, zinc pre-coated steel sheet or zinc coated steel wire with or without organic coating. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-06-01 AA "Mauerwerksbau (Sp CEN/TC 125, CEN/TC 250/SC 6)" ("Masonry structures (national mirror committee for CEN/TC 125, CEN/TC 250/SC 6")) at DIN.
